~~Comment~~ In addition to the current references from the NYT and Baltimore Sun, I have so far found this mention from a Magazine named "Aeronautics" and this from a publication by the Historical Society of Baltimore County. ~~I'm currently leaning towards a weak keep.~~ Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:50, 21 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There's a lot of hits on Newspaper archive. Here's a 1906 Baltimore Sun article chock full of quotes from people praising his planning proposal for an exposition, a 1914 article from the Frederick News-Post about he and Baltimore's mayor, James H. Preston, being criticized by the chair of some event committee, and this Washington Times article about being elected president of the National Hotel Men's Benefit Association. The Sun also reported on a banquet honoring Joyce in 1911. It looks Joyce had a significant role in Baltimore's social & political scene in the early 1900's.

Keep with thanks to GPL93 for finding the new sources, seems to be notable. I found something in JSTOR from the American Hotel Assoc in 1918, not sure what it is exactly, I don't think it adds to the notability. Oaktree b (talk) 03:55, 24 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep again thanks to GPL93. The article needs work, and I suggest storing the found links on the talk page to support improving that page. Lamona (talk) 15:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am starting to build out the article and it now has 8 refs, although I do not think 2 of them are notability lending, and have yet to get to the aviation coverage which is quite extensive. I am going to ping pepperbeast & Johnpacklambert to see if these additions change their votes. Best, GPL93 (talk) 21:01, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're doing a sterling job, and I withdraw my delete vote. Not, I think, that it makes any difference at this point. Great work. PepperBeast (talk) 21:22, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources provided by GPL93, notability has been established. Brian O'Conner 06:31, 26 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
