I don't know what this is. But it's not an encyclopedia article. Ben-w 23:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC)


 * Keep. While there are only 176 Google hits on this alchemist from the 1920s and 1930s, they are from a wide variety of sources and there appears to be a fair degree of notability (keep in mind that his 15 minutes of fame ended way before the Internet was around).  However, the article is very POV given that many of the sources claim that he was a con artist.  The article needs work. -- DS1953 00:09, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep but cleanup. The article does contain some real information, though presented in a highly POV fashion. Also agree with DS1953's arguments. ManoaChild 00:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep I've started the cleanup process. It isn't that bad really - it won't take much for someone with a knowledge of the subject to turn it into a good article. Osomec 00:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * keep. Another example of something that may not get many google hits, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted. Trollderella 00:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. Interesting story. Dottore So 01:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
