Unfortunately my searches found nothing to suggest improvement at all aside from results for his books at both Books and browser and there are no obvious targets for moving elsewhere. SwisterTwister  talk  05:35, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

 * SisterTwister, Bronson seems to have had a real career as an illustrator, curator, albeit too long ago to show up well in a search. I'll try to source it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:26, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Search on "Wilfred S. Bronson" brings up reviews of his children's books on Kirkus .E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:30, 28 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep published author/illustrator with a reputation in mid-20th century.E.M.Gregory (talk) 13:34, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
 * WP:HEYMANN, User:SwisterTwister, I would be glad for you to take another look. Rewrote, tightened, sourced this article. Also moved it to the name used back in the day, Wilfrid S. Bronson It could certainly use more attention, and while it is far from being the finest example of WP:HEYMANN, I think he now passes WP:CREATIVE as a 20th century artist/illustrator whose papers are maintained at the University of Minnesota, whose marine natural history illustrations are at the Yale Peabody Museum, and who wrote many well-reviewed children's books, the books could usefully be added to the article.E.M.Gregory (talk) 17:03, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

 * weak keep I can find only mentions in online sources, but given the time frame some serious library research would need to be done. Authors and illustrators of children's books are difficult to source in the best of circumstances, but I see no harm in keeping this. LaMona (talk) 02:31, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, have added more of his books with reviews, also, is it notable that on checking worldCat a lot of his books, although being 50/60+ years old are still held by 100+ libraries? Coolabahapple (talk) 12:52, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
