 * Neutral for now, this Gsearch returns a lot of hits. Some of them are clearly not this subject, but some of the earlier ones are.  I could be convinced he satisfies WP:N --Deville (Talk) 01:18, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, article is really sparse, but there is a large number of g-hits that reference him as a classic magician and innovator. His "contributions" probably warrant an article - a better one, at least.  Kuru   talk  01:32, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep google suggests he is in the top rank of his profession. Sumahoy 03:19, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep: google on "Roy Walton" magic gets 500,000 hits, most of which refer to him as a very notable magician ("It’s been said that Roy Walton invented one of the most original card effects of all..."), he seems to have written several books . AnonEMouse 17:09, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Hmm...no ISBN numbers for those books. Bookfinder shows two entries from L. Davenport, a self-purported "maker and publisher" of magic.  Google shows lots of stuff attributed to Roy, but not a single morsel of biographical information, other than he manages a magic shop in Glasgow, Scotland.  I'll send them an email inquiry and see if we can dig up anything. -- Robocoder 21:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
