Removed speedy deletion tag
editI have removed speedy deletion tag. Article has citations, has been up for over a year and there seems to be reliable sources indicating some level of notability see [1]. Should go before AfD if nominator still wants to delete it. Capitalistroadster (talk) 03:12, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Jewish? Gay?

- Definitely Jewish, by his own account. Gay? Who knows? (Who cares?) — QuicksilverT @ 19:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
- WP:BLP would not allow us to speculate whether a living (or recently deceased person) was gay. However, Brandt was definitely Jewish. He was raised Jewish, and later in life continued to identify as such.[2] Who is a Jew? states that Jewishness is an ethnicity as well as a religion, so just because there is no indication that religion played a central role in Brandt's life, it is still worth mentioning.– Gilliam (talk) 02:00, 7 April 2015 (UTC)
Birthplace
editI've tentatively added Newark, New Jersey as Dr. Brandt's birthplace, based on a quote wherein he identified himself as a "Jewish kid from Newark". For example, see http://www.style.com/beauty/people/2015/dr-frederic-brandt. Unless a formal obituary is published somewhere, we won't know for sure, as he could have been born elsewhere and just spent his formative years in Newark. — QuicksilverT @ 19:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
