 * Keep The individual is obviously notable, else why would the article have been approved by an administrator after being nominated for speedy deletion. The references given satisfy WP:GNG. Qualitee123 (talk) 21:47, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Promotional article - when the External links out number the citations that is a red flag. The BBC is the best source, but really how is he notable? How does he stand out amongst the rest of the paranormal investigators? He collects dolls that he says are creepy, his parents died when he was a teenager and he says he feels them around him ... and? If this is all you got then it isn't even close to being enough to prove notability. Sgerbic (talk) 06:11, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
