I am not aware of him having a middle name. Tom (talk) 12:28, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
One of the books I ran into online was written by Alfred H. Dunhill. I forgot whether it was one of the two mentioned below or another one. Please add content on his publications as an author.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 13:49, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The Gentle Art of Smoking is probably the book you are referring to, and was written by Alfred Dunhill's son, Alfred H Dunhill. Tom (talk) 14:09, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
If his son is known as the publisher of an important book or for any other notable reason mention it in this article. P.S. make it clear, which of his books are in continuous printing and which are out of print.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 14:14, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The son is already mentioned in the article. Tom (talk) 14:18, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I would split the life section into three sections: 1. Early life (through 1904), 2. Tobacco business, 3. Retirement--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 16:16, 23 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have added sentences about the one book he published. As scholarly databases such as JStor are almost silent on this book, I consider it to be of little importance, and therefore I don't think it warrants much more attention. Tom (talk) 14:03, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I have uncovered that Alfred Dunhill's son, Alfred H Dunhill, wrote The Gentle Art of Smoking. Tom (talk) 14:11, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Although it was taken in 1893, I can't be certain it was published in 1893. Tom (talk) 19:47, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I think there are places on WP where you can get questions answered about WP:NFCC and WP:COPYVIO. There are experts on finding out when images were first published I think. Try to check around.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:35, 24 April 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
What's the status on this review? No comments since May. Wizardman 19:23, 13 July 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I am still hoping to minimize FU by getting the image declared PD. I have tried to give advice on how to do so. Farrtj, what is the latest.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 21:22, 13 July 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
TonyTheTiger Sorry but due to personal issues I cannot spare the time to complete this review. Please feel free to close. Tom (talk) 15:15, 2 August 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@TonyTheTiger: I don't see any issue with the image's license. We don't know the original date or source of publication. I know it seems odd, but we would have to have evidence of it being published (including when and where) to prove that it was not still copyright. We are better to err on the side of caution in this situation. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 01:38, 3 August 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sorry to raise the issue, but this article may have copyright problems. The first substantial edit to this page on 24 December 2013 - immediately after the previous content was moved to Dunhill (luxury goods) - is a copy of the ODNB page (you will need a subscription). Subsequent editing (diff) has left in place large chunks that are (or nearly) identical. Here are some examples:
