Do any of his accomplishments pass any inherently notable thresholds? I don't see that they do. The sources also seem wishy-washy to me. Uhooep (talk) 16:37, 18 October 2023 (UTC)


 * I suspect he's made it into Wikipedia because his son, Chris Blackwell, founded Island records. Blanche, the wife, appears to have had a more interesting life. There is nothing in the current article to suggest that Middleton Blackwell is notable in Wikipedia's sense, and unfortunately the creator has been blocked for copyright violation, so we aren't in a position to find out what the sources said, specifically. This is a great pity, but in the absence of any other evidence, I'm leaning towards delete. Elemimele (talk) 19:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
