This BLP should be deleted per WP:NOTINHERITED. It is obvious from the content of the article that his only achievement is being part of a famous family. Angryapathy (talk) 19:13, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, he is notable because the Washington Post writes about him. Polarpanda (talk) 19:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as, while the stub should be expanded, reliable sources including the Chicago Tribune, 'Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and the USA Today'' all have on-point coverage of the subject sufficient to establish notability. - Dravecky (talk) 20:46, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge to H. John Heinz III. It looks like this is a curiosity, something like a Rockefeller taking a vow of poverty.  I agree entirely with Angryapathy that this person would not be noticed at all except for happening to be the son of a late billionaire.  That factoid is worth a sentence in the Heinz article.

 * 57 varieties of reluctant keep. Washington Post and Oakland Tribune articles devoted to him (slow news day?) tip the scales. Clarityfiend (talk) 23:02, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Agreed, there's not much, but there is something. Puzzled that with all the editors of the article, no one has yet managed to add a reference.-- SPhilbrick  T  23:52, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - appear to be sufficient sources to establish notability.--Blargh29 (talk) 06:50, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
