This biography appears to have an extremely sketchy basis for its notability, which appears to be primarily derived from the fact that the subject's mother is a notable entry as the founder of a church. Most of the sources attributed to this article merely affirm that the individual was indeed born, with little further information - certainly nothing justifying this rather expansive biographical entry. The sourcing, overall, seems extremely poor. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:10, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

Comment - as I have, elsewhere, been accused of having a COI, I shall not !vote. However, as I have some expertise in the topic area and there's been minimal participation I should present some sources I know about, [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. Unfortunately I don't have access at the moment to newspapers.com, it has been renewed but it's a significant obstacle to research at the moment. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 19:35, 22 October 2021 (UTC)

• Redirect to Ellen G. White. I looked at the article, those five extra sources above, and had a look at newspapers.com. All of it only goes to confirm that any glory enjoyed by William C. White was reflected by his mother. Not independently notable. --Lockley (talk) 01:35, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
