I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (biographies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:DGG with the following rationale "needs further check for sources.". Well, I still don't see anything but few mentions in passing: he existed, he was tied to some spy-stuff, but I can't see even as much as a short paragraph / bio dedicated to him.

 * Merge, possibly to NewsGuild-CWA- I have been able to find some sources that mention him, but he doesn't seem to have been a major player and the available information looks quite thin to support an independent article. Here are some references:
 * "Venona: Decoding Soviet Espionage in America" mentions he was a secret communist who orchestrated the recruitment of Winston Burdett to the Comintern.
 * "Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America" and "The Venona Secrets" both mention him as the brother-in-law of Zalmond Franklin, and also that he reported on Franklin.
 * Some of the same material is mentioned in passing at this index of KGB archival material.
 * I wasn't able to find a transcript, but it looks like he may have testified before Congress at one point, and was definitely mentioned in Burdett's testimony, so there may be more information available there. PohranicniStraze (talk) 04:12, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep discussed in several books sich as Spies: The Rise and Fall of the KGB in America on page 420. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:21, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete -- despite being a stub, this article is a mess. "...allegedly served as a major link between Soviet intelligence and the CPUSA" is uncited & inattributed defamation. The subject does not appear to be notable in any case, so "delete" is the way to go here. K.e.coffman (talk) 19:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
