An individual that does not appear to pass the WP:GNG. His only claim to notability in the article is for a position that was uncredited. The only source being used is IMDB which, on top of not being a reliable source, also lists all but one of his positions as also being "uncredited". I searched for any additional sources using the names "Newell Sparks", "William Newell Sparks" and "William Sparks" and was unable to find any kind of reliable sources discussing the individual.

Delete - Per nominator. Subject lacks notability and significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Meatsgains^(talk) 17:43, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. I did mange to find this on shotonwhat.com but looking at reliable sources discussions I'm empty handed for that source. Sorry Newell. Chumpih. (talk) 20:14, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete'. Wasn't even credited at the time. Verifying that he was the sound engineer is difficult and there is no significant coverage. Pikavoom (talk) 07:21, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Contrary to the seeming view of some, not everyone who worked in some way on the production of The Wizard of Oz is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:43, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It seems the article only exists to say he had an unaccredited production role on The Wizard of Oz which is not a justification for having an article as others have noted. The article makes no other claims of notability and I cannot see any evidence that there is material that could be added which would demonstrate notability, so I think this is a fairly clear cut case.
