 * Delete - Subject of the article is a non-notable individual fails WP:GNG guidelines. There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of businesspeople out there, not all of them are worthy of an encyclopedia article. This is one is by a COI editor. Netherzone (talk) 19:50, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Emil Ernest Gloor is a good example of an someone who used Terracotta tile in a new way. He used the interlocking technique that is supported by secondary source on archive.org. In addition, his use of brick was written up in secondary source about building with brick and Hollow Tile. --Greg Henderson 20:36, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * is this another relative of ancestor of yours? Also why doesn't your signature have a link to anything? ThatMontrealIP (talk) 02:25, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, both sources mentioned above are half sentence name checks. The innovative interlocking terracotta was installed by the article subject; the article says they were the "brick contractors".ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:48, 9 July 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete - trivial mentions do not meet WP:GNG. Melcous (talk) 02:16, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. White & Gloor are credited as "terra cotta setters" or "masonry contractors".  There's no claim to a patent or anything like that.  No design credits visible.  No relationship to the dominant terra cotta supplier Gladding, McBean.  Not notable.  --Lockley (talk) 22:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Why not draftify the article and let Greghenderson2006 keep looking for more sources? Coverage of historical figures, even when it exists, is often limited to old news and magazine articles. Those are often stored offline, and with the COVID-19 crisis, we should be mindful that the libraries and archives that hold those sources are probably closed. If Greghenderson2006 is willing to keep researching – and he has been remarkably persistent – then I say we move the article to draftspace, with the proviso it may only be republished if it passes AfC.

 * The reasons to delete are a) not a notable subject, b) editors above have not come up with any more sources c) the ones Greghenderson2006 have offered so not offer any indication of notability and d) Presumably GH2006 would be the only person interested in this, and they have demonstrated an inability to understand SIGCOV. In short, there's nothing here to draftify. It's a guy who owned a masonry company.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:41, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
