 * Strong keep As the publisher of several major magazines, he is sufficiently notable in his own right, even without his connections to political families. Caerwine Caer’s whines 19:08, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment So? There are lots of living people in similar positions who we don't and wouldn't have articles on today.--Michael WhiteT&middot;C 19:18, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment See WP:WAX. --Dhartung | Talk 21:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I didn't mean it that way, I meant, were we to have this debate about someone of a similar level of importance today, I don't think there would be as much debate as to their notability - disagree? Would we have an article for every publisher of several magazines who is not covered by reliable sources (or at least I can't find any, on Google)? --Michael WhiteT&middot;C 21:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Given when he lived, I wouldn't consider Google to be the likeliest place to find references on him. Building this article past its current stub status is likely going to take someone willing or interested in hitting the stacks in some library. We need to keep and expand this article to combat Recentism  See WP:CSB. Caerwine Caer’s whines  23:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Publisher of McCall's is sufficient. DGG (talk) 00:02, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'd say he's independently notable, and surely he passes WP:V as well. -FrankTobia (talk) 04:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as above, I believe notability has been firmly established here. Coccyx Bloccyx (talk) 19:11, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
