Long dead architect, but the article seems almost entirely based on the architect's personal archives, or unpublished sources, or Architects' registers. It suggests this is written by a relative of the subject, but there's no evidence Spashett is anything more than a competent, jobbing architect. The Church Army Chapel seems to be attributed to the company he worked for. Fails WP:GNG. Sionk (talk) 18:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete non-notable architect. seems to have an unremarkable church to his credit. WP:COI all over the article which seems to have been written by his own family. photo of the subject has this info: "Jean Spashett (1964 slide); Linda Spashett Storye_book (2009 scan). - Slide taken by the wife of the architect in 1964; from his archives. Jean Spashett (1964 slide); Linda Spashett Storye_book (2009 scan). - Slide taken by the wife of the architect in 1964; from his archives" --thus we see that user Storye_book is the subject's family. most of the article's edits have been by Storye book, who is the subject's family. the info should go on a family blog, not in the encyclopedia.

I started and edited this article a bit after extracting text from the article about the Blackheath Church Army Chapel (local to me). At the time, I hoped that more authoritative references from significant independent publications might surface about the architect, but none seem to have been found. Editor storye_book does appear to have particularly close interest (COI). Agree it fails WP:GNG. Paul W (talk) 19:21, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
