 * Draftify Keep Yeah, I think the deletion nomination here is a little bit early. There does seem to be some evidence of "Significant coverage" of this man, assuming he's the same guy who ran the Agricultural experiment station a Purdue, including an obituary in the Atlanta Journal that called him a "rare mind, a great heart, a stalwart character" see these Google Books results: 1 2 3 4. Since, per WP:NRV, we need only considered whether the reliable sources that would support notability likely exist, not actually have them to hand, I think we can conclude that this man is likely notable, and once an article has been drafted properly it should meet the criteria for being an article here on Wiki.

 * Keep, do not draftify. This is a viable microstub which I expanded a little to an actual stub. He clearly passes WP:PROF. If any of the above people working so hard to keep this out of mainspace had taken the same ten minutes to actually create some content we wouldn't need to have this discussion. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:34, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep clearly passes WP:PROF and the article has been improved. No need to move out of mainspace, regards Atlantic306 (talk) 17:48, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:PROF. Nothing in the article is so unsightly that it needs to be moved out of mainspace to be improved. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 22:07, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly notable, although perhaps changing the article to use the institution names of his time, rather than modern ones, would be more accurate. Blythwood (talk) 23:19, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment When I saw the article, I was surprised they have expanded it, but it would clearly meet the WP:GNG as with university presidents which I changed my mindset to Keep from now on. Sheldybett (talk) 06:28, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:PROF. Thank you to the editors that helped expand it. Thsmi002 (talk) 02:38, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
