Fails WP:BIO with insufficient sigcov in reliable sources. As an ATD this should be redirected to Morphy Richards. Ultraodan (T, C) 12:39, 22 November 2025 (UTC)

- Plenty of sources Try looking for 'D.W. Morphy' instead. ~2025-37061-07 (talk) 17:38, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Firstly, I suggest that the vandalism to the article be undone. There was an obituary published in The Times on 27 May 1975 but it was by a "correspondent", so not sure if that carries the weight of a regular Times obituary; Wikipedia Library's access to the Times Archive is down at the moment so can't link to it, but it's on archive.org, but I won't link to it as it's probably copyrighted. If it's to be deleted then it probably should be merged/redirected to Morphy Richards Piecesofuk (talk) 09:46, 24 November 2025 (UTC)
- Good catch, I've undone that but I don't think it changes the lack of sources. Ultraodan (T, C) 10:52, 24 November 2025 (UTC)

- Comment I found this on newspapers.com and this on archive.org. Both focus on the company, but provide some details on Donal Morphy, I am not sure if this is enough for GNG. Kelob2678 (talk) 11:29, 8 December 2025 (UTC)
- Keep This, together with The Times obituary, which I cannot access, are enough. Kelob2678 (talk) 14:08, 11 December 2025 (UTC)
