Fails WP:GNG and WP:NPERSON. Lack of quality independent WP:SIGCOV, some cited awards don't seem to check out. Previously PRODded, no indication that the subject is notable or outstanding in their field. Content is WP:NOTRESUME. Likely WP:COI, possibly undisclosed WP:PAID, the creator appears to work only on topic closely related to the commercial entity that the subject has an interest in. Melmann 20:41, 17 May 2024 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously PROD'd so Soft Deletion is not an option here.

- Delete per nomination and Timtrent, company has won a few awards and some coverage in RS, but not Winton on his own. Wikishovel ( talk) 04:24, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: A rather long list of awards, but I'm not seeing much notability. I can't find any references about this architect, this seems like an exaggerated PROMO, almost to the point of absurdity (I stopped counting at 30 awards)... This much "notability" and no mentions in any RS, something doesn't add up. Oaktree b ( talk) 00:48, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Delete this text of an extreme promotional, if not vanity, nature, about a subject that lacks Wikinotablity. The shining lights of the extensive list of awards could cause temporary eye blindness and perhaps also mind numbing but let's collect our bearings: The awards are almost all bestowed upon firms with or to which our subject is related. E.g. this "Architect (Medium Firm)" award by The Architect's Newspaper goes to AW-ARCH; we learn that the firm has been cited in the 2022 Honor Awards for Design Excellence of the Boston Society of Architects, but, as shown here, the awards are still to be determined; the firm has been ostensibly feted by the same outfit, yet here we learn that none such award was not even handed over; and so on. Determined: Yes. Notable: No. - The Gnome ( talk) 17:03, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
