Does not meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. References are poor. There are broken links and links to books that mention the subject superficially. The one notable source is an obituary published in The Pittsburgh Press. Delta13C (talk) 08:50, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete for now perhaps unfortunately as this would actually seem notable and improvable but my searches simply found nothing better than a few passing mentions at browsers and Books. A restart with better information and sources would be more than welcome though, SwisterTwister   talk  19:21, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete due to lack of non-trivial coverage in reliable independent sources. Guy (Help!) 14:20, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Rather dodgy sourcing, including things like sourcing the father's profession to the father's obituary in the local paper, or the rather misleading discussion of Dorothy Day, where the actual article makes it clear he supported the magazine, and invited her to visit, which we only have evidence she did merely once. A promotional article. Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:53, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
