As Sdkb and I discussed on article talk page, the only element of SIGCOV is the LA Times obit. While that might suggest that there is more coverage, searches on google/newspapers.com have not turned up any more, so we don't have GNG met here. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 09:46, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: I can only find his name in an article about the company [1]. Still not enough sourcing to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Frank Seaver, an article about his uncle and his uncle's company (WP:ATD-R), where I added the references from this article. "One sentence does not an article make." This source demonstrates how the subject was overshadowed by his uncle in regards to the Hydril Company, and therefore redirecting something like this is a common solution. Yes, the subject is a member of a prominent Southern California family, which was connected to an even more prominent Californian, Edward L. Doheny; however, even Doheny's children are not blue-linked in his article. The Daily Bulletin article is overwhelmingly about Frank; the Los Angeles Times obituary which mentions the subject's philanthropy of the arts (it's in the arts section), although different from a regular paid notice is still not enough to justify a dedicated article, per WP:GNG. I'm finding many passing mentions of the subject in connection with him chairing various fundraisers and sitting on committees (sometimes ones chaired by his aunt). However, I fail to see how any of this warrants a standalone article (stub). See also WP:PHILANTHROPIST, which advises against attaching this label to anyone who ever donated a substantial amount of money to a cause. StonyBrook _babble 22:01, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
