William Lawton

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article with no sources for notability. His only possible claim to notability is as founder of Seagate Fund, but we seem not to have an article on it. The references are either mere listings, of short notices like ref 4, or don't even mention him, like 3 and 6.  DGG ( talk ) 00:18, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
