 * Very Strong Keep- The subject received a full editorial obit in the New York Times and such an obit has always been considered to be irrefutable evidence of notability. An editorial obit in the New York Times is unlike a local newspaper obit that everyone in the town my get, or a paid obit. See Articles for deletion/David Harris Underhill where similar justification is used by User:DGG. IDKremer (talk) 02:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
