Seems to fail WP:GNG and WP:NCREATIVE. Sourcing is thin, the article has been without any since at least 2009, and a Google search reveals mentions of him are largely wiki mirrors and sites selling his work. It's clear that he was involved in making lots of films, but it does not seem that he "created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work." (NCREATIVE criteria #3) The Animated Movie Guide mentions him 4x in passing, and America's Film Legacy twice. The Who's who in Animated Cartoons, has no mention of him at all in the GBooks preview. It appears he was briefly Donald Duck's main animator at one point, but there's no evidence he did any more than that. The animators who shaped Disney's animation are the Nine Old Men, of which Towsley was not one. Eddie891 Talk Work 22:28, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
