  • Comment - that's not a valid reason for deletion. There are claims to notability here and the Google search seems to suggest that it's not a hoax.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 15:01, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep He was a very important and influential architect, as shown by the New York Times article [1]. There are adequate resources to create a good article. In the meantime, clean it up a bit and leave a stub referenced to the New York Times article and some of the architectural history sites. (eta) added 3 refs and rewrote the article. I'm not an architect, so others can contribute as to who "invented" the skyscraper or steel curtain construction, since there are competing claims. This architect's work is not included yet in the article on Skyscrapers. Edison 15:04, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - has nine structures on the National Register of Historic Places. --Elkman (Elkspeak) 16:03, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, sometimes I wonder if wiki articles should only be nominated by those that know the subject matter.. He is a Notable as per Edison reasons. I would prefer a larger article, but give it time. Callelinea 22:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, I almost wrote this article myself after reading the NYT article and finding we did not have one for him. I know that the nominated version was a mess but even what's there should be clearly worth cleanup and referencing. --Dhartung | Talk 07:00, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Clearly notable. Casperonline 18:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
