William Blurock[edit]

Vanity. No assertion of notability. Not much in Google except mirrors, a lawsuit, and philanthropy. Rklawton 20:12, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Undecided nomination is false, there is an assertion of notability - but it fails to establish the claim from reliable sources, and also fails to establish whether the subject is distinguishable from other architects. Just zis Guy you know? 22:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Go back and read it. There is no assertion - unless you count the word prolific. Rklawton 03:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is no assertion of notability. Hence I have gone ahead and tagged it speedy delete per A7. TheProject 17:51, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- 'The most prolific architect in Orange County in the 20th century' is indeed an assertion of notability. I have removed the tag. Snoutwood (talk) 19:55, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - He's one of the most prelific architects in a very large county fer Pete's sake: not country; not state. County? Gees. And there's no awards cited. Rklawton 20:08, 5 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not speedy, but definitely strongly. NN --Deville (Talk) 02:27, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but expand and add images of his buildings rather than that rather uninteresting plaque. Presuming the claims in the article are correct, he has designed a number of public buildings and other major structures, a few of which actually have Wikipedia articles of their own. I think this makes him notable enough. In any case, Orange County, California has over 3 million people, which is more than many small countries. Add an {{unreferenced}} tag to the article, and revisit it again in a while if there is any serious argument that it is a hoax. u p p l a n d 07:59, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Being the "most prolific architect in Orange County in the 20th century" is claim I'd like to see the slightest backing for. And 37 Google hits, few -- if any -- discussing his legacy as an architect. Borderline speedy, despite the seemingly bogus assertions of notability. --Calton | Talk 01:45, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh, and those buildings he's supposed to have designed that have articles? None of the buildings have articles due to architectural significance. --Calton | Talk 01:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
