 * Keep The article has some issues including contradictory information about where he was born, inconsistent naming, unconventional organizations, over reliance on primary sources. I've edited to address those issues. He seems notable. I think now it's good to stay up. CT55555 (talk) 14:03, 29 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. The sources present in the article show that the individual passes GNG. Draftification is not a backdoor to deletion and, while it might be tempting to take this out of the mainspace to work on it, I don't think it's likely that draftifying the article will result in anything but its deletion in about six months. Since when editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page, I think that the article should be kept and improved to bring it up-to-standards. — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 05:25, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
