Another Zapata founder/Friend Of A Bush, but he seems to be a pretty minor player. It's possible that he is being confused with his brother J. Hugh Liedtke, who has significant notability as a major oil executive. Mangoe (talk) 18:42, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article needs work, but both brothers were notable in their own right as oil men. The NYT obituary states "co-founded the Pennzoil Company and helped turn it into one of the nation's largest oil companies". Also had blurb in news related to Watergate scandal. As a friend and oil associate of H.W. Bush, article needs to be monitored for Big Oil conspiracy theories. - Location (talk) 19:11, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Obituaries in the New York and Los Angeles Times[1] are pretty convincing GNG, not to mention being the head of Pennzoil. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:07, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Looks to be sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet the main notability guideline. Davewild (talk) 07:19, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
