 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Biography which does not appear to meet WP:GNG. The are has only three sources. Two of them have incomplete information to ascertain whether they are books or articles about the subject, or merely a listing in some directory. The only linked source is simply a picture of a medallion which does not contribute to notability. I found nothing in Google to determine notability. NOTE: Previously nominated for deletion in 2018.

NOTE: I found a listing for William Staniforth on "The Staniforth Society" web site, but I do not consider this to be an independent third pary, but rather seems to be operated by the same person who created this Wikipedia article. Flibirigit (talk) 19:38, 3 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep This isn't really my area of expertise however I added a few more sources including one from the The London Medical and Surgical Journal, there seems to be various mentions in publications from years gone by.Thief-River-Faller (talk) 20:06, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
