Comment- His contribution to Rowan University was made posthumously, so I don't know if he is really a philanthropist as the article suggests or he just left the university some money in his will.--

Weak keep - Sorry, I accidentally delsorted this to history, although it is not a terribly good fit. In any case, I agree that there is sufficient coverage that this article passes

User:Rusf10 needs to slow down and
WP:BEFORE bringing so many politicians to AfD so rapidly. In particular. It essential to search a news archive when trying to determine notability for public figures whose careers are pre ~2000. And it is often better practice to tag an article for sourcing and notability and leave the tags in place for 6 months or a year as an act of

In this case, I will withdraw as per
WP:HEYMANN, although I respectfully disagree with you on some of my other nominations. Also, in this case, the author who wrote the article has not been active in almost two years, so I doubt they would come forward with more sources.--
