Claes Nobel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article has been around 2008, but I don't see the requirements of GNG or any specific guidelines being met here. All mentions online seem are in relation to "National Society of High School Scholars," of which he is the "founder" of, and derivative awards, etc. It seems to be almost name dropping by the organization (in all the mentions I found in the article and online, it's the same couple of sentences mentioned about him in conjunction with some local educator or student), and I don't think it merits an article for him. The stub as is reads kind of like an advertisement as is. A short sentence could perhaps be included in Nobel_family. Sam-2727 (talk) 23:21, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep John Pack Lambert is of course right, but a quick search of Google Books and Google Scholar throws up enough about Claes Nobel to pass WP:GNG. Moonraker (talk) 05:07, 28 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Marginally surprised to see this one get relisted. I think I tend toward keep or at least some WP:ATD rather than delete, but I have no strong opinion on the matter. I do not think he is strongly notable but the results in Google Books are slightly surprising since I didn't look for them Back When. --Izno (talk) 14:56, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, per Moonraker. Notability is indeed not inherited and simply being of the Nobel family doesn't meet the requirements, but I think the sources in the article and the Google Books results are good enough to merit inclusion. /Julle (talk) 12:43, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
