A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards. Failure to meet these criteria is not conclusive proof that a subject should not be included; conversely, meeting one or more does not guarantee that a subject should be included. Should a person fail to meet these additional criteria, they may still be notable under Wikipedia:Notability.

Keep. Failed speedy for obvious and good reasons. Clearly notable as far as I can tell. A little Googling would have gone a long way here. Yinta ɳ  13:55, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
