 * Keep. Notable; there are many primary secondary sources available. Not a resume. If this person is not notable then we can delete the vast majority of articles that are created in Wikipedia workshops about people who barely have 1-2 primary secondary sources. --Trougnouf (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is to be based on secondary sources, not primary ones. Wikipedia is not a place to publish original research.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:13, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This article is clearly not well cited but a quick Google search of Mr. Kirkhorn finds several notable articles about him from reliable sources. To me it raises the question, which I don't know that answer to, of how do you treat a potentially notable person with a lousy cied page? Has the original author been given an opportunity to try to shore it up? Miaminsurance (talk) 14:29, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If an article can be improved by adding reliable sources, then that should be done instead of deletion. It's expected that the nominator perform due diligence and search for sources before nominating an article, and if sources exist but aren't being cited, that is not a reason to delete it. —&#8239; The Earwig (talk) 04:59, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
