No evidence of notability. Only two relevant JSTOR results. One is a primary source, the other only mentions him briefly. Google books results seem to mostly focus on his son and only a few results mention him in passing. Bosstopher (talk) 13:03, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom, everything is about his son. Can't believe this has been around 10 years. —МандичкаYO 😜 14:15, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Delete no coverage in reliable sources that isn't simply about his son. Nwlaw63 (talk) 16:55, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Snow Keep and perhaps you should try to restrict yourself to commenting on things that you know about. Le petit fromage (talk) 06:17, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

::If this is the case could you perhaps add a source or two to this article that's been unsourced for the past decade? This article could really do with improvement from someone knowledgeable in the field. Bosstopher (talk) 09:56, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

  • Uncertain because [https://www.google.com/search?q=William+Barton+Wright+mechanical+engineering&btnG=Search+Books&tbm=bks&tbo=1 Books] found some results (nothing that instantly looks good but considering this is a 19th century engineer) so some sources may not be accessible. Although it's been here for 10 years, this is much better than other articles that have been there that time because this is at least neat and sourced. SwisterTwister talk 06:17, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
