I do not think this person is notable - he is only mentioned in passing by the source cited in the article, and that's as part of a lengthy list of people whose names appeared in the
Venona cables. Basically all we know about him is his name, occupation, and that he was a "source" for Soviet Intelligence between 1943 and 1945. This is not in itself enough to make someone notable, especially absent any significant, in-depth coverage in reliable sources (all I've been able to find is brief, passing mentions). Fails WP:GNG and WP:BIO.

DElete -- I agree. He sounds a NN petty spy to me, at a period when USA and USSR were allies not opponents.

Delete, unless the type of coverage required to satisfy
WP:N can be found.

Comment. Here's what I can find about him. He was
also vice president and general manager of World Wide Electronics, Inc. He ran his own company, Kenneth Richardson Laboratories, in Lynbrook, NY, and I think he went on to work at Bilnor where he was
assigned some patents. VWOA (Veteran Wireless Operators Association)
gave him an award in 1971 when he was there at Chief Electronics Engineer. He
joined the Radio Club of America in 1974. He was
retired by 1989 but still an IEEE member.

Delete - Searches on the engines return quite a few hits, unfortunately, none seem to be about this particular person.
