 * Delete Not notable, and reads like obituary lifted from local paper. Johnbod 04:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as per Johnbod. The same person that created this page also created John Comper, which reads similarly. --Crusio 07:16, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I can find no evidence from the article or a Google search that the subject meets WP:BIO, and curators of relatively minor art galleries do not appear to be automatically notable. The strongest claim to inclusion would be as the author of the book on Turner which appears to have gone through 2 editions The only online references I can find to this book are from secondhand book sellers and a few library catalogues; though I can find no reviews, a book published in 1923 is unlikely to have any online so they may well exist in print. Willing to change my mind if new evidence uncovered, especially if it would go towards his meeting WP:BIO as an author. Note, he's not the same as Sir Harry Townend, another author with different dates. Espresso Addict 15:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
