 * Comment. This is an extremely rapid nomination of an article just created (by me).  While the nominator could have added a skeptical tag to the article, I doubt that this AFD is a good use of many editors' time. -- do  ncr  am  19:26, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * That's was a mistake. My sincere apologies for that. I withdraw my nomination. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 21:07, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Designing buildings that are now catalogued by the National Register of Historic Places would seem to meet the final criterion of WP:CREATIVE: "(a) has become a significant monument," a guideline that expressly includes architects. Keep on that basis, at the very least. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:02, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. I kept developing the article and, among other findings, found that there's a Nebraska Encyclopedia article about him.  I will grant there is not a huge amount of info about him readily available.  So like many other articles about architects, the article is largely a list of the notable works of the architect (for which they are known).  In previous AFDs it has been held that essentially as a "List of works by Architect" it would be valid, and the title doesn't matter.  We don't want to split architect vs. list of their works.
 * By the way, at the article's talk page are search results about J.F. Reynolds persons who are perhaps the same person: one who was a district engineer handling gravel road construction in Iowa, one who founded an architectural partnership in Florida in 1941 to engage in the World War II effort.  The latter I consider fairly likely to be the same person, but I don't yet have enough to link him surely. -- do  ncr  am  21:59, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
