Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George F. Putnam
He wasn't retired; he died over 30 years ago. The fact that this omission went unnoticed for so long may say something about his notability. I found an obituary and ten reviews of his one book, but I think multiple books are needed for  and that the book itself (despite its ten reviews) is too obscure for it to make sense to make an article about the book and redirect this article to it. His publications, citation record, and other accomplishments do not appear to pass , either
