Non-notable person. Rwiggum (Talk /Contrib ) 03:46, 12 October 2008 (UTC) *Delete, this is a severe BLP violation that keeps getting hoaxy links. Little Red Riding Hood  talk  21:13, 12 October 2008 (UTC) *Delete While the info might be true, the fact is that the person in question is not notable outside of the single fact that he is the creator. No need for an entry just for him, in order to reiterate all the info about him on the bread clip page -- let the clip page include this info, and not waste the wikipedia resources on a superfluous article. JasonDUIUC (talk) 22:38, 12 October 2008 (UTC) Per the above info, I say Keep -- as long as there's something more than just a one-point entry on the guy (i.e. all the different reasons for notability), I've go no issues with it.

 * Delete The article makes this sound like a hoax (the two linked sites are jokey). It's true though, but thoroughly non-notable.  A more encyclopedic tratment is at Bread clip, where it should be. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  15:10, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. After having done more research on the subject, it looks like Floyd Paxton is notable, not necessarily because of his invention, although that's an interesting tidbit, but because of his other work:  Right wing politics.  See this (I don't know if you have to be logged into amazon to see it, but if you do, it's some pages from Sexless Oysters and Self-Tipping Hats: 100 Years of Invention in the Pacific Northwest by Adam Woog, which talks about Paxton having been a president of the John Birch society, publisher of a newspaper, and unsuccessful Congressional candidate.

 * Weak keep, seems to scrape past WP:BIO. Stifle (talk) 08:19, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
