Non-notable. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:27, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I think you have to be pretty notable to have an obituary in the New York Times (added ref to article).--Pontificalibus (talk) 19:46, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Definite keep; NYT obit provides evidence of notability. Ironholds (talk) 19:51, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep A search for "Wharton-Tigar" in quotes makes it readily apparent that he is notable, a real-life James Bond indeed. The article is a crappy stub and needs to be expanded but reliable references exist to prove notable and verify an article. Drawn Some (talk) 19:57, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep expand of course, but notable. BTW, he was involved in the "Himmler Stamp" forgery, where Third Reich stamps were forged by the Allies with Himmler's head, rather than Hitler's head, on the stamps. (Mentioned in the Philatelic_fakes_and_forgeries article, if anyone wants to expand.) FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 23:05, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
