 * Keep Unless the article is a total hoax notability is asserted and documented by a reliable source. It would be nice if other sources could be provided. Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:36, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * It might be a hoax since he is claimed to the one of the founders of Uncle Ben's Rice and is not mentioned in its article. However that article is poor too. Kitfoxxe (talk) 03:40, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Harvard Encyclopedia does not write articles that are hoaxes. He's not the founder of Uncle Ben's Rice but the man who developed the process that Uncle Ben and other companies use. Zayya 04:53, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
 * You are correct. However Uncle Ben's Rice gives another story about the development of its process. Kitfoxxe (talk) 20:36, 9 March 2011 (UTC)
