Article appears to be a vanity piece; notability is not confirmed in the article (as of this writing) Ecoleetage (talk) 09:06, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete - An article about J.P.P. Jr. written by username jpp1234? Obvious WP:COI problems there.  While Paone Jr. can easily be found via google, picture included, I could not turn up any non-trivial reliable sources to establish notability. --Millbrooky (talk) 00:09, 25 June 2008 (UTC) Changed my vote to weak delete per my comment below.
 * Delete as a non-notable autobiography. No sources to establish notability, as Millbrooky points out. -- B figura 's puppy (talk) 03:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The article would need to be drastically rewritten and sources added, but it does include credible claims of notability in terms of media coverage and honors in his profession. Alansohn (talk) 01:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - Since my original vote, the article's author (the subject's nephew), has added a number of reference links. The majority of links simply verify the number of organization to which Paone belongs to or the awards he has received.  While the list is impressive, I don't believe either one is significant enough to warrant keeping the article.  One reference does point to the NY Times, but only Paone is simply representing that article's subject with a quick quote and the not the subject himself. --Millbrooky (talk) 22:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
