Non-notable biography. Article seems superficially cited, but if you actually look at the sources, the claims to fame are not supported by references. He is referenced as having been a graduate of Rutgers University in that his name appears as a single line in a list of graduates. Rest of sources are either self published, registration data or doesn't mention the subject. For example, he is claimed to have been a neighbor of Einstein, cited source does not mention him by name. This is part of a series of questionable articles created by the same user. (See also Articles for deletion/Ella H. Scharring-Hausen‎) henrik  • talk  15:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Seems liek a very puffed up description of someone who is probably not notable - certainly none of the sources establish notability for him. The footprints (poem) claim might, but it;s uncited and sounds somewhat dubious. Artw (talk) 16:16, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The sources that are cited don't appear to support the article content. This was one of almost a dozen articles created by the same person, around that person. jonathon (talk) 21:07, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to Keep but only if it is pared down to what is truly notable (I know that is subjective) and protect it? I doubt this man will be doing any more notable things any time soon. Vinithehat (talk) 00:16, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The response to the ( { { d b-a7 } }, { { db-person } } ) request was a prod that was contested on the grounds that founding Library Week is notable. The earliest documented Library Week was sponsored by the New York Library Association in 1890's at Lake Placid. This was a conference for librarians. The Google  Timeline on Library Week makes no mention of the subject of this article.  All Ghits for "Library Week" and "Scharring-Hausen" are either wiki mirrors or were written by Carolyn.jonathon (talk) 14:47, 15 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per the above reasons; also was created by sockpuppet of banned user &rArr;   SWAT Jester    Son of the Defender  14:49, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
