Delete per WP:ANYBIO. No deep coverage in secondary sources, only passing mentions. Simply falls short of significant. Gattosby (talk) 03:14, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article cites several relevant historical mentions in the New York Times, which can be supplemented by this article which deals with him in depth and mentions here and here. Note that the images in the article are from the Library of Congress, which can be considered significant coverage in and of itself.  In the event the article isn't kept it should be merged to Hattie (elephant) who has significantly more notability. Commenters please note that the author is User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ), whose articles and images have been recently mass-targeted for deletion (admittedly often for good reason), so there is reason to suspect that in the context of mass nomination less care than normal has been taken in the selection of this article for AfD.  - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:27, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
