Paul De Roy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a writer and artist, making no strong claim of notability per our inclusion standards for either occupation and citing no reliable source coverage to support it. As written this is effectively just "Paul De Roy is a writer and artist who exists", the referencing is exclusively to primary sources like his own website and his own publishing company, and on a Google search I'm finding nothing that would improve the sourcing or the notability at all. Also likely WP:COI of some kind, as the article was created by an editor whose username was "Bram De Roy". I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody actually can locate better RS coverage than I've been able to, but in this state it's a delete. Bearcat (talk) 14:09, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete not notable enough Daniel Kenneth (talk) 16:06, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Does not meet GNG. The link from the books goes to the site of a self-publishing company. The article's creator is Bram De Roy, so COI is probable and Bram De Roy should probably cease editing the article as s/he has since this was nominated for deletion. It is plausible that there are suitable sources in Norwegian media, but they are not visible to me when I search. LaMona (talk) 21:32, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as still questionably better for WP:CREATIVE. SwisterTwister   talk  06:23, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Searches turned up zero in-depth coverage of this individual. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:36, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete I have found a bit more information in Dutch, but it is still not sufficient to establish notability. His work is in a number of public collections, he has won a several awards, none of them notable in themselves, and he has exhibited his work, albeit not in a museum or gallery that would satisfy WP:ARTIST.
