• Keep. The subject is clearly notable; if the article needs secondary sources, feel free to add them. There is nothing wrong with citing to primary sources on historical topics; the need to add modern sources is not an argument for deletion, nor is there a deadline for improving articles. Deletion is not cleanup; you don't improve an article in need of improvement by deleting it. P Aculeius (talk) 23:44, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Very obviously notable and meets WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:27, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
