No reliable sources found for this biographical article. The article on his son, Michael Edward Ash, has sources added by Arxiloxos and was deprodded, but the father should be considered separately as notability is not inherited. GeoffreyT2000 ( talk,  contribs ) 22:15, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * comment I see contemporary coverage of him calling him a "distinguished civil engineer", but I suspect we'll need someone who knows the paper sources for this to stand - David Gerard (talk) 09:53, 1 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as I'm literally finding nothing but mere mentions and that's not surprising, current article conveys nothing better at all. SwisterTwister   talk  06:28, 10 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment. I've been able to find very little on line that's about Wilfred individually, but the company he co-founded, Gilbert-Ash, appears to be probably notable based on the extensive coverage of its activities in sources like the Belfast Telegraph and others visible in a HighBeam search.  The content of this article would be relevant and usable in an article about the company (assuming it can be properly sourced). --Arxiloxos (talk) 20:45, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
