Not enough notability – the references are fairly obscure, and the subject lacks specific reasons to be notable by himself cherkash (talk) 21:54, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Careful sifting through the GBooks hits seems to suggest that the subject had at least some influence on locomotive and other railway-related design and innovation during his years with Pennsylvania Railroad - not that any of this has ever got so much as a mention in the article. However, I must leave it to others to decide whether the influence was significant enough for notability. Oh, and by the way - sources can be both obscure and reliable.

 * Keep and expand. Note to the nominator: obscurity of sources is not a reason for deletion.  The article needs to be expanded to make it clearer what his contributions to history were, which I will do today.  Compare e.g Nigel Gresley, George Jackson Churchward -- men who held similar positions of note who have better filled-out articles.  Vogt was equivalently influential in his field.
