While the beverage he developed, Big Red (drink) appears to be notable, Thomsen as a chemist appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:GNG with only passing mentions, no in-depth coverage of the man. Classic WP:BLP1E WP:BIO1E. Toddst1 (talk) 13:43, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Well, it would be, except for how he's not a living person :D. That said, I've never been entirely clear on why BLP1E only applies to living persons, and in any case I can't find any sourcing that addresses the subject of the article directly and in significant detail. Obviously, there's plenty of sourcing that covers the drink. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  14:53, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Big Red (drink). The drink does seem to be notable enough, but this chemist doesn't have any notability outside of creating what looks to be a tasty beverage. Since the article for the drink exists, it would probably be appropriate to have his name redirect to the product he's best known for. Other than that, there's no individual notability for this guy and it'd be a delete.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 15:44, 13 August 2012 (UTC)
