I very much doubt that having written a letter to a US president is enough to make one notable. Otherwise, we'd have millions of grade-school students to write up articles for. — Coren (talk) 01:11, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment. Well, I’m not sure why, but a Google search for Samuel Anderman came up with this letter as #2 on the first page. ●DanMS • Talk 01:58, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Looking at the other results, that's probably a combination of lack of otherwise notable "Samuel Anderman"s combined with the high pagerank of the site where the letter is found. — Coren (talk) 02:00, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Also, the article says he's from Boston, but the letterhead says Kew Gardens, N.Y. Hmmmm. Source? --Evb-wiki 02:40, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per lack of significant coverage from independent sources. Not even a claim to notability established, so should qualify for CSD Corpx 04:30, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, no assertion of notability. Writing a letter to a president doesn't make you notable. --Targeman 15:53, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong delete You gotta be kidding ... writing a letter to a president makes you notable? That's stretching it, to say the least. Blueboy96 19:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. So his sole contribution to human history is writing a letter to president Truman? In that case, I'm worthy of an article too, I've e-mailed Martti Ahtisaari (and got a reply too). JIP | Talk 09:13, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
