Fails WP:GNG/WP:NBIO. Of the 11 sources used, 3 merely mention Wilkinson without significant coverage. The other 8 do not even refer to him. I couldn't immediately find any sources with significant coverage. Large parts of the article fail verification or are completely unsourced. IceWelder [✉] 09:45, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Have tidied up and removed outdated links and added more relevant citations and sources. Heliwig1 (talk) 16:25, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but what you added are again just trivial mentions. Please see WP:SIGCOV. IceWelder [✉] 20:44, 28 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Heliwig1 needs to read SIGCOV, because none of the sources in the article qualify. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
