An individual that does not appear to pass the WP:GNG. His only claim to notability in the article is for a position that was uncredited. The only source being used is IMDB which, on top of not being a reliable source, also lists all but one of his positions as also being "uncredited". I searched for any additional sources using the names "Newell Sparks", "William Newell Sparks" and "William Sparks" and was unable to find any kind of reliable sources discussing the individual.

- Delete'. Wasn't even credited at the time. Verifying that he was the sound engineer is difficult and there is no significant coverage. Pikavoom ( talk) 07:21, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete Contrary to the seeming view of some, not everyone who worked in some way on the production of The Wizard of Oz is notable. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 17:43, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
- Delete - It seems the article only exists to say he had an unaccredited production role on The Wizard of Oz which is not a justification for having an article as others have noted. The article makes no other claims of notability and I cannot see any evidence that there is material that could be added which would demonstrate notability, so I think this is a fairly clear cut case.

- Delete There is no sources to establish his role as the sound engineer in the film. Brayan ocaner ( talk) 22:17, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
