Comment: Yes, he's notable enough for an article, but he's notable as an architect; it might help to decrease some of the peripheral material. You might want to explain "due to the progressive foundation of the company." Do you mean because he was Black, because he was politically active (in the 1950s "progressive" was often an euphemism for radical or even communist)eviews of his work would be the most important thing to add.

Comment: On a very quick Google search, Madison appears notable as a pioneering African-American architect eg [1],[2],[3],[4],[5]. @Miniapolis:, would you object to my accepting? Also @DGG:. Espresso Addict (talk) 01:50, 4 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Please see WP:BLP and WP:CREATIVE. The architectural firm may have more notability, but the article needs more third-party, reliable sources. Miniapolis 21:17, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
