 * Yes, not much that one can find for this North Carolinian modernist residential architect. Too bad. Appears to be another case of an accomplished individual who just doesn't happen to me our benchmarks. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:09, 6 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, my name is George Smart, executive director of the architecture nonprofit North Carolina Modernist Houses. We've researched biographies of 200 North Carolina architects, like Bill Campbell, involved in the mid-century Modernist movement. We'd like to start posting their histories to Wikipedia. All have passed away, so we don't run afoul of policies regarding living persons. Just like basketball and barbeque, North Carolina has a huge tradition of innovative residential architecture. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.17.168.100 (talk) 17:53, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * George, may I suggest that you take any articles you would like to create through the wp:Articles for creation process. There you would have learned that you cannot have an article without references, and you would have had a chance to fix that without risking deletion. Userfy. Also note that User:NC Modernist Houses may be a violation of wp:Username policy as usernames cannot represent a group - they must be individual. LaMona (talk) 22:24, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
