Non-notable individual. Essentially uploaded a CV. Free use image at File:Jon-Paul Walton.jpg is self published, so you can assume the author at least knows the subject. Looks like a vanity project. - hahnch e n 17:23, 6 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Promotional biography of non-notable author with a new book out last month. Carrite (talk) 17:26, 6 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - The only notable accomplishment I could find in the Career section was the part about contributing to the development of over 100 games. This would indeed be impressive if there was any information about which games he worked on and how significant his contribution to them was (i.e. did he program the AI or just deliver coffee to the programmers?). Merely publishing a book doesn't make one notable, or we would need 100 million articles. Unless this article can be expanded and properly sourced to show that he was a significant contributor to 100 or so somewhat notable video games, there's no point in keeping this article.

 * Delete as a non-notable individual, with some audacious claims that lack any corroborating material. After checking the assertions relating to his contributions to video game development, Mobygames lists him variously as a laboratory or quality assurance technician, a junior position that doesn't confer notability. Since I can't locate any reliable primary or secondary sources to corroborate the assertion that Walton served as a Chief Information Officer at SonoCine, this declaration also resembles pure fantasy.

 * Delete. Fails WP:AUTHOR, WP:BK and WP:BIO. Qworty (talk) 05:22, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Deleteas per nom. Seems like a promotional biography to me, possibly created by the subject or someone acquainted with the subject. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.219.43.29 (talk) 05:29, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable enough yet to warrant an article. Maybe in some years when proper coverage is available. — ΛΧΣ  21™  15:48, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Only one hit, "JonPaul, from Walton, added ..." Not sure if it is the same person. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 12:34, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
