Non-notable architect; total failure of WP:SIGCOV. I made a good faith effort to propose deletion, with proper notices to editors, and evidence of the same was deleted by a third party editor. This has been tagged for notability for a decade without any substantive improvements. It was proposed for deletion in the past, and that was refused without stating any reason. This person is clearly not notable, and I'm unclear why editors keep trying to keep this biographical stub -- little more than a WP:DICDEF -- in the face of lack of sources and not making any effort to fix the per se deficiencies. I have not nominated an article for deletion in many years, and I have no axe to grind, but this one is a clear case for me. Anyway, I'm bringing the matter to the community.

  • Delete "working with" a firm that is awarded the contract to design a post office is not the stuff that notability is made of.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:41, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Google search and Google news search shows no major online publications featuring this person, the only thing I could find is this book? https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/applicants/env-review/east_midtown/06_feis.pdf which lists him as an architect of an important building in NYC. I'm not an expert in architecture, if one exists here, please advise your opinion/analysis of available info online. If he has worked on historic / landmark projects, it should be added to the page and referenced, otherwise as-is it is a clear delete as per nominator. If new reliable sources showing notability / major architectural works are found in the future, a new page can be created. CosmicNotes (talk) 00:49, 1 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Due to computer problems, I was unable to reply for several days. Should we alert additional Wiki projects, or does an admin want to re-list this discussion? Bearian (talk) 15:48, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
