WP:NOTINHERITED. Boldt Inherited money but other than that, the article doesn't assert notability. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 13:18, 21 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Obituary in the NYT so he passes WP:GNG. Andrew D. (talk) 14:09, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep – president of Waldorf–Astoria, with photo in the LoC, seems like GNG enough. Dicklyon (talk) 02:05, 22 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment, "Obituary in the NYT so he passes WP:GNG.", huh? just had a look at wpgng, can't see where an obit in the new york times is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".(my emphasis) for example, Articles for deletion/Fannie Pennington is an afd where a nyt obit (plus it had some other refs.) was not enough for the original article to be kept.

 * Keep: The NYT times obit is a good reason to presume notability. While it is true that, as Collabahapple says, the GNG requires multiple sources, if there was a NYT obit there are probably only sources out there, even if they have not been digitized.  Also, I don't see any mention of a NYT obit in Articles for deletion/Fannie Pennington.--Cerebellum (talk) 15:46, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep -- the sources appear to be out there to establish notability. For example, a contemporary (1916) source calls the subject "America's most famous hotel man". Here's a substantial write up: 1917 Year Book. More in Bain's New York. Etc. K.e.coffman (talk) 18:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
