The subject of the article lacks notaility. They were apparently a doctor. Claims about being a priest are unsubstantiated, but even if proved does not in itself make the subject notable. Contaldo80 (talk) 09:18, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete: Unsourced and unsourceable. My own Google searches turned up nothing substantial except on very, very fringey and totally unreliable "traditional Catholic" sources. Here, "traditional Catholic" does not refer to the Roman Catholic Church, but to a tiny breakaway movement. This reads like an apologetic hagiography.

 * Delete Not notable. Most references I found at searching were about his far more notable father. --MelanieN (talk) 15:59, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The notice has been listed for 7 days and the consensus is to delete. I will now delete. Contaldo80 (talk) 09:13, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
 * No no no. The nominator don't get to close debate they started. You didn't actually close this debate anyway. A delete consensus debate have to be close by an admin who actually have the power to delete pages. Blanking is not deleting. I have reverted the blanking of the page.

 * Fine. Thanks for the clarification. Contaldo80 (talk) 12:10, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
