Weak delete - there are claims of notability - such as being involved at a high level in the Masons - but no significant coverage. Bearian (talk) 15:51, 10 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The article would seem to have been improved since the nomination was made as there are references in it which are drawn from major academic works on the growth of the labour movement and socialism in Scotland notably Donachie, Harvie and Wood (1989) and Kenefick (2007). These would seem to suggest that Glasse was of importance in labour and Socialist politics, especially if Lowe signaled him as being of importance in 1919. Equally the Webb comment at the start would support this. Also if he is credited with founding the first Glasgow branch of the ILP then this is of huge significance given the importance of the ILP to Glasgow History. I do think the article could be constructed more effectively and I would like to see if material from other Scottish and labour histories could be added to further demonstrate his importance.

- Keep. on balance, though I am not all that sure of the direct relevance of some of the sources listed at the bottom. My attitude to notability is much more relaxed when we're dealing with earlier periods. The most important thing about the notability requirement is that it helps keeps out promotional junk when used for what people wish to advocate or advertise.
