As Sdkb and I discussed on article talk page, the only element of SIGCOV is the LA Times obit. While that might suggest that there is more coverage, searches on google/newspapers.com have not turned up any more, so we don't have GNG met here. Eddie891 ^Talk _Work 09:46, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: I can only find his name in an article about the company [https://books.google.ca/books?id=dawiAAAAIBAJ&lpg=PA35&dq=%22Richard%20C.%20Seaver%22&pg=PA35#v=onepage&q=%22Richard%20C.%20Seaver%22&f=false]. Still not enough sourcing to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:10, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
• Redirect to Frank Seaver, an article about his uncle and his uncle's company (WP:ATD-R), where I added the references from this article. "One sentence does not an article make." [https://www.encyclopedia.com/books/politics-and-business-magazines/hydril-company This] source demonstrates how the subject was overshadowed by his uncle in regards to the Hydril Company, and therefore redirecting something like this is a common solution. Yes, the subject is a member of a prominent Southern California family, which was connected to an even more prominent Californian, Edward L. Doheny; however, even Doheny's children are not blue-linked in his article. The Daily Bulletin article is overwhelmingly about Frank; the Los Angeles Times obituary which mentions the subject's philanthropy of the arts (it's in the arts section), although different from a regular paid notice is still not enough to justify a dedicated article, per WP:GNG. I'm finding many passing mentions of the subject in connection with him chairing various fundraisers and sitting on committees (sometimes ones [https://access-newspaperarchive-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/us/california/van-nuys/van-nuys-valley-news-and-green-sheet/1973/02-22/page-191 chaired] by his aunt). However, I fail to see how any of this warrants a standalone article (stub). See also WP:PHILANTHROPIST, which advises against attaching this label to anyone who ever donated a substantial amount of money to a cause. StonyBrook _babble 22:01, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

• Redirect to Frank Seaver. Nothing to salvage here and notability certainly not established. Ramos1990 (talk) 02:41, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
