If WP still considers that laying out his education and his one lifetime job, along with the three items for which he is remembered in approximate chronological order is a copyright infringement, in spite of the fact that added details not present in the cited text Boydell's life story is supposed to infringe, I don't know what else to say.

His birth date is the date he was born on He went to school at Manchester school of Art He served in the Royal Navy The type face he created was called Festival His famous posters were called Squander Bug and Black Widow He died when he died Any advice on how dates, Manchester School of Art, Royal Navy, Festival, Squander Bug and Black Widow may be paraphrased are welcome. Also other ways to order a biography other than chronological... (should I write in reverse chronology?

OK, so after copyright and A8, we now have a 3rd speedy delete request because the subject lacks notoriety. Edit (not by me) of 13 Nov suggests that: (A7 does not apply—his development of the notable poster Squander Bug is an assertion of notability). Google books cites about 20 references to his works. I'm not going to waste my time adding book and magazine references only for the article to be deleted again!

By the way, by the same token you should also delete:

Hugh Felkin in both English and French, which are certainly weaker on notoriety, for some

I have no idea what you're talking about. I wrote: "A7 does not apply—his development of the notable poster Squander Bug is an assertion of notability". This means that I declined the speedy deletion because the article asserts notability. Goodvac (talk) 22:57, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Glad to hear it and welcome your support - but I have no idea what weight your opinion carries v that of Cindy's. Oldboltonian (talk) 20:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
