Not notable enough for inclusion (one minor reference in a book is insufficient to show notability). - The Bounder ( talk) 21:21, 22 January 2017 (UTC)

- Keep - Although little seems to be known about him, I found several references to him in books, for example here and here which I have added to the article. He was the subject of an article in Clocks Magazine in 1983. I also found longcase clocks made by him for sale at specialist sites, with a few biographical notes, like this clock selling for £4250. So his work is still acclaimed more than two hundred years after he died and he is the sort of individual that we should be featuring in Wikipedia rather than here-today-and-gone-tomorrow beauty queens and singers.

- Keep - Per sourcing done by User:Cwmhiraeth. Also note that for specialty topics (e.g. clockmaking) and historical timeframes (18th century), some relevant sources are likely to be beyond the reach of a web search. The fact that there are actually some sources available online for this topic suggests to me that there are probably others that are not online. Υπογράφω ( talk) 16:23, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
