Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wilhelm Winternitz
This is a grandfathered entry from the 1901-1906 Jewish Encyclopedia. The fact that there was an article about this guy in a printed encyclopedia is, by itself, already sufficient to pass our  requirements. Further, a cursory googlebooks search reveals plenty of coverage: 551 hitshttp://books.google.com/books?hl=en&q=%22Wilhelm%20Winternitz%22&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wp, quite a few with specific and detailed coverage. Item 2 on this googlebooks result list (an article from  Boston Medical and Surgical Journal) reads:  "Its leadership in this branch of therapeutics was due to Wilhelm Winternitz, justly called the father of scientific hydrotherapy". I don't think there is a need to go further. The article would certainly benefit from expansion, but that is not a reason for deletion
