Keep. Meets criteria for Wikipedia:Notability (people):
  • "has been the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject."

  • Notability is asserted in first sentence of article
  • Does not appear to me to violate Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, ergo article is not memorial or eulogy, IMHO
  • Looks to me like it just needs more research
