` :::To be honest, I know nothing about Zoll or anything connected with him. I came across this article when looking elsewhere (I think it was a Help Desk query), and saw it was a mess, found some refs, tidied it up, and that's the end of my involvement. If I thought that he did not meet the notability guidelines, I would have either PRODed or AfD'd it. As he meets the guidelines, the reason for inclusion at this time is irrelevant, surely? As long as all statements are accurate and sourced, it is tidy, then that's the only factor surely? If any statement is unreferenced, then that could be removed until sources are found to verify the information, but the vast majority of the information in the article is sourced. As to why he's ``important enough to warrant a Wikipedia article suddenly?`` - my guess is that someone looked up, found that there wasn't an article, and decided to create one. I did exactly the same with William Stanley (Victorian inventor): my local newspaper reported the 100th anniversary of his death, I looked up the article to add the information, and found there was none - so I researched it and created the article. Not every subject in the world that is notable currently has an article - otherwise no new articles would be added!  ''''''''''/|\ `
