Arthur Hills

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of any notability for this golf course designer. Refs are mentions,"Designed by Arthur Hills" and one CV. Nothing independent and reliable that discusses him. Reads more like an advert for his business. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 14:49, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - as a landscape architect, he fails WP:PROF, and as a business person, he fails WP:CORP. His courses are generally ordinary and not notable. The sourcing is weak. Bearian (talk) 19:33, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep well known golf course architect. The nominator should have done a thorough WP:BEFORE. WP:NEXIST See non trivial coverage, here Cincinati Enquirer, Golf Advisor, and non-trivial here, Also in Golf Channel and many more. It is clear that this subject is a leader in his field which passes WP:ANYBIO. The more than passing mention, non-trivial secondary source coverage is abundant.

 * Keep - As per Lightburst. Seems to be a top golf course designer and the citations already on the page demonstrate his notability. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 16:04, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep A burst of light has been shined upon the truth, coverage enough to easily pass the general notability guidelines.  D r e a m Focus  03:20, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep Talented and prolific golf course designer. Easily passes notability guidelines. A no-brainer keep in my opinion.  ♥Golf (talk)
 * Keep The article needs considerable improvement, not least better sourcing. But I found it relatively easy to find articles about Hills himself, not just his courses. Here's a good example from the Dayton Daily News which discusses and interviews Hills. To me, he is clearly notable. Railfan23 (talk) 06:07, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
