I redirected this to the article about his father, as it is completely unclear why he should have a separate article, having done nothing of note in his life apparently? He is mentioned in biographies of others or of his family, just like family members often get short mentions in biographies of others, but that's about it, a background "character".

Delete or restore redirect. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so he doesn't qualify for an article just because he's related to other people who have articles — but while he certainly gets mentioned in books about his family, this is in no way demonstrating that he would have any real standalone notability claim outside of being a member of a family.
