The result was Delete. The "keep" arguments do not actually show that he satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. For example, a mere statement that someone is "a leading light" does not constitute evidence that there is substantial coverage, nor do three single-sentence mentions in books "clinch" the notability.
