Paul Drake (actor)

 * – ( View AfD View log ) •

Non-notable actor per WP:ACTOR. Credits include a number of small roles but nothing substantial. No secondary sources for any of the info, especially the biographical data. Dismas |(talk) 16:26, 13 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep: Needs work to bring the quality up, but I believe it can be done. I am sure there are other sources out there that can be found, other then IMDB.-- Navy Blue84  16:46, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

*Keep None of the Above. The decision to delete a deceased actor smells bad when the subject page in question contains a beg for money message from Jimbo Wales. There is clearly way too much East Coast user/admin bias on these deletions. IMDB lists sufficient and numerous credits in film appearances to keep. Actors and artistic performers should not be deleted by armchair critics who have no personal knowledge or have actually seen them perform. Rather than deletionism why not try to improve the content or reach out to the contributors by obtaining more information? PsychClone (talk) 23:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete Unless someone can find and add RS to show notability, this should be deleted; it's as close to 'unsourced' as possible; IMDB is not reliable enough to support a BLP, and the article author has created several other articles which have been deleted as hoaxes  Chzz  ► 21:15, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment I did not nominate this because the creator has also created hoax articles! The subject of this article is not a hoax and this AFD should be about this article and no others.  We're talking about the article, not the creator.  Dismas |(talk) 00:13, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
