Without even looking at that link, WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not a valid argument for "keep" --Dweller (talk) 11:15, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "Memorial". Any article on a deceased person may have some tinge of being a "memorial". The article tells about the man's full career based on the material that I had.

Delete Looks like a nice bloke, who had a moderately interesting career, but currently notability is not demonstrated. Happy to amend if multiple non trivial references to him are found in reliable sources. Just drop me a line to my talk page. --Dweller (talk) 11:15, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
