Not clear-cut A7, as it says the person won some award. Not sure how notable that award is, but it's hard to find in this search. Note that there's another James Newton article on Wikipedia, and google results tend to show that guy, not this one. This AfD is created because of lack of notability and substantial coverage. — Timneu22 · talk 10:18, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Indeed. The "foundation" that he started appears to not exist. Tag this as G3 hoax? — Timneu22 · talk 10:29, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I tagged as a hoax. The article references jff.org, probably to make it look like the foundation he started. JFF.org does exist, but it has nothing to do with "James Newton". — Timneu22 · talk 10:33, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
