Deletion of George B. Walden

Comment: Walden was head chemist at Eli Lilly and so was a person of some importance.  He has entries in numerous reference works including ''American Men of Science''; ''Famous Faces in Diabetes''; ''Indiana Scientists: A Biographical Directory''; ''Who's Who in America''; ''Who's Who in Commerce and Industry''; &c.  That's therefore an easy pass of .  His work on the development of insulin production was a major breakthrough which appears in the many histories of insulin and the Eli Lilly company.  This is therefore also a pass of : "''The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in a specific field.''"  Those works also explain that his wife, Ida ("Eda") was a significant co-worker too and our article has yet to recognise this.  Our policy  therefore applies, "''If editing can improve the page, this should be done rather than deleting the page

Comment: and mention briefly at '''Eli Lilly and Company''', where he spent most of his career and made his sole(?) claim to fame. I'm seeing mainly brief mentions, not |significant covereage. Walden gets frequent brief mentions with respect to isoelectric precipitation of insulin, e.g. "{{xt|By the spring of 1923, George B. Walden had perfected a method of isoelectric precipitation, which greatly increased the yield of insulin...}}" in  ''https://archive.org/details/twocenturiesofam0000bord/page/476/mode/2up Two Centuries of American Medicine, 1776-1976'', and in the already cited article https://academic.oup.com/clinchem/article/48/12/2270/5642437#sec-20 "Insulin: Discovery and Controversy", and sporadic brief mentions in works about Eli Lilly and Company or Eli Lilly himself.https://archive.org/details/elilillylife188500madi/page/56/mode/2up?q=Walden. There are a few newspaper/trade journal pieces reporting his retirement from Eli Lilly,https://www.newspapers.com/clip/9920823/george-walden-retirement/https://archive.org/details/sim_global-cosmetic-industry_1960-04_86_4/page/512/mode/2up?q=Walden and some other local newspaper coverage of varying signifiance.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/9920753/george-walden/https://www.newspapers.com/clip/9950756/george-b-walden-property/ (articles on marginally notable people often get padded with verifiable but unencyclopedic trivia such as buying/selling houses, attending social events, etc.).  Basic biographical information exists in https://archive.org/details/whoswhoinamerica22chic/page/2252/mode/2up ''Who's Who in America, 1942'' and other similar directories, however these are generally self-reported sources that may be verifiable but don't meet reliability nor independence criteria per  and . Redirecting preserves page history in case future |significant coverage is found, but even full deletion would not disrupt existing articles too much, as all necessary context in any article that mentions him is conveyed in the simple statement that he studied insulin for Eli Lilly; no Wikilinking needed
