This is one of a group of ancestral sketches previously listed for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/William_Staniforth which was declined because many voters were opposed to the bulk nature of the listing. That such an approach was perhaps justified is demonstrated by the fact that this article covers one of the more notable subjects. Nonetheless, this very minor historical figure fails WP:GNG.

- Keep, meets WP:ANYBIO and WP:GNG, sorry but this afd is a waste of time ie. nominator's "very minor historical figure" is their subjective opinion, no analysis of the numerous references included in the article, no discussion of numerous references/books etc that a gsearch brings up.

- Keep Agree, a waste of editors' time when it appears that the nom has not bothered to do WP:BEFORE. The articles may have been created by someone with a distant connection to the family, but the lack of WP:BEFORE brings in to question the nom's motives, too. In this case, see for example Britain's History and Memory of Transatlantic Slavery: Local Nuances of a 'National Sin [1], Motives of Honor, Pleasure, and Profit: Plantation Management in the Colonial Chesapeake, 1607-1763 [2], and many more.

- Keep (note in the ill-formed bulk-AfD - I mentioned this one as a keep "meets NPOL, Mayor of Liverpool twice"). Sources quite obviously exist, and well, he was the Mayor of Liverpool twice. I will note that some of the nominations by UninvitedCompany are of non-notable figures (and scrutiny is warranted in the topic area of Staniforth genealogy) - though I urge them to do a better BEFORE prior to nomming.
