Delete. This article fails WP:BIO and, if he's still alive, WP:BLP as well. I am unable to find reliable third party sources to corroborate any of the information presented. JBsupreme (talk) 06:54, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep An interesting subject. The content is verifiable with various reliable sources, e. g. this article in the Chicago Tribune, another article in the Schenectady Gazette, Anchorage Daily News called him the Heifetz of the Hands. I think the offline search in magazines and newspapers from the 1970s could be more useful. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * How are you finding these magazines? JBsupreme (talk) 09:12, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a topic suitable for Google News Archive search. The subject was known in the USA in the 1970s and a lot of US magazines and newspapers from that time are archived there. It isn't perfect, but sometimes it is helpful. --Vejvančický (talk) 09:27, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the last two articles you are linking to are the exact same, are they not? I'm not entirely convinced that GNG is "clearly established" as Wolfowitz suggests, but I'm trying to give this the benefit of the doubt.  JBsupreme (talk) 16:41, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I fixed the link here and in the article. --Vejvančický (talk) 22:42, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Keep as per Vejvančický.--Howard|SF               12:11, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Coverage meetng GNG clearly established. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:56, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
