 * Merge into Capezio article - and they do make some of the best jazz shoes & Scottish dance ghillies I've worn ;) SkierRMH, 08:05, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The company this man founded is a highly respected maker of dance shoes (particularly for ballet) and may be the world's largest maker of dance shoes. I don't know much about this subject, but I edited the article to clarify his importance, add details, add references, etc. I don't think it's a good idea to merge the article into the company article because companies have a way of drifting away from their founders -- separate articles maintain the distinction between person and business. For the record, he isn't anyone's grandfather. He had no children. --orlady 05:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Week keep - Capezios are a widely-known and widely-used brand of dance shoe, and perhaps the uniqueness of the brand makes the creator particularly notable? I'm not sure if it shouldn't just be merged, though.  My initial reaction is keep as basically notable creator of a very notable product.--Dmz5 06:04, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Also FYI, according to the article he had no children so he's nobody's grandfather :) --Dmz5 06:05, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
