The article is about his career as a librarian like every librarian of the world. Can't see anything about his notability.

The user randomly creates article using the same source of Dictionary of Welsh biography. Some of the articles look notable, some doesn't. --Captain Spark (talk) 05:40, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep -- entries in Dictionary of Welsh Biography are notable: the 4,400 most notable people to have lived in Wales, each with a professionally written biography. Papers have been collected and catalogued by an archive. Particularly in earlier periods, the head librarian of a major university was equivalent to a major professor in a department. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 16:46, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dictionary of Welsh Biography will be biased towards people from Welsh. The article must explain why he is notable other than being a plain librarian. Captain Spark (talk) 00:11, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Michael and WP:ANYBIO's second criteria, for historically notable figures. And I do see via Google search that his papers have been archived by Aberystwyth University. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:28, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
