[edit] James F. Williams

Non-notable artist per WP:BIO, also borders on vanity since the article was written by a commissioner of his work. —C.Fred (talk) 16:05, 4 July 2006 (UTC) Strong delete, based on local scale of awards added to article by Allen Autry (see below). 22:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete, of four pages that the author has edited, two are up for deletion and another probably should be. Of the few Google hits on "'james f. williams' artist" almost all referred to a different person. Nothing notable, and the vanity comments seem valid here. HumbleGod 18:13, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Included in recent edit by me are awards and shows of Mr. Williams, as suggested by C.Fred-Allen Autry —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Allen Autry (talk • contribs) .

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Delete no sources, and the list of shows actually helps prove Williams isn't notable. I see no evidence he's gained any recognition outside of the state of Michigan. --djrobgordon 19:01, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. As stated by djrobgordon, the awards listed do not add to any claim of notability of the artist. The pushes my opinion more toward strong delete than just a straight delete. —C.Fred (talk) 22:00, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
