Fails WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO - the person is known only for designing the recycling symbol, and there seems to be no reliable coverage about him that is related to him doing anything else. The article contains no information about anything else, too, and no information is lost if the article is deleted and replaced by a redirect to recycling symbol, as was the case from 2007 to 2009.

I agree with the nominator, delete. Irbisgreif (talk) 06:15, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - and redirect to recycling symbol. (I suspect this article was only created because of a redlink over at that article.) - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:57, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Merged keeping it as redirected does not harm (as it is now). Olivemountain (talk) 02:59, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The article is not currently redirected to Recycling symbol. The redirect was recently undone. That's why I am nominating the article for deletion.  Sandstein   16:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Strong keep - The international recycling symbol is one of the most recognised symbols in the world. The designer of which is notable by association. It has been used and reproduced many times over. This alone should be sufficient justification to keep the article. As the designer of the symbol is not well known it makes the entry even more of interest to readers, hence should stand.--Alex Marshall (talk) 15:14, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Per WP:N, notability is not inherited. Each topic must be individually notable. Everything there is to be said about the designer can usefully be said in the article Recycling symbol.  Sandstein   16:47, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect. Is only notable for the symbol, so any mention of him can be covered in that article. I don't know if it is desirable to delete first to prevent the redirect being inappropriately reverted in future.  AJ  Cham  22:36, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete and re-redirect to recycling symbol per WP:BIO1E. —David Eppstein (talk) 02:38, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to recycling symbol. There isn't much more to say about the subject that isn't already in the recycling symbol article. Brief biography of the subject here: . Location (talk) 19:16, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
