Orphan article with no indication of notability for its subject. "Jonathan Nash Hearder" gets 17 Google hits. Bueller 007 (talk) 22:57, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep - I have begun a significant improvement of the article, including but not limited to a clear explanation of why he is notable (work on induction coil, developed experimental procedures for use by the blind), more readable prose, more detail, and the introduction of more and better references. I believe it passes WP:N on the basis of the sources currently in the article as I write this but I'll do more work on it today and tomorrow. - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:28, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Weak Keep - per excellent work by DFW expanding the article and finding sourcing. On the other hand, the sourcing is a bit light on the reliable side. On the other other hand, evaluating the sourcing in context suggests that what's there passes (if barely) notability. I may check back in on this to see if DFW has added anything further. Nice work. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 06:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Relisting comment. Since this is a BLP, another comment or 2 would be helpful before it is closed. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Keep Appears in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography [http://www.oxforddnb.com/index/101012824/] who have their own notability requirements. (Not a BLP incidentally.) Cassandra 73 (talk) 20:40, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Keep per WP:HEY. He gets 17 Ghits because he has been dead, Jim, for 134 years. Bearian (talk) 23:17, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
