Paul Drye

This is NOT a notable person. This is a self-serving autobiography and it should be deleted.

 * Comment. This article was prodded back in March 2011 by but unprodded again. More recently the nominator, a single-purpose account, reprodded the article three times (despite being told not to) before creating this discussion. It was not linked properly in the deletion logs, but I added it there. I also removed two of the three recent re-prods, but only for technical reasons (a prod can only be attempted once); I have not yet formulated an opinion about the notability of the subject. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:53, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I concur about the SPA; the only purpose for this account seems to be to try to get this article deleted. Also, I do not know where the nominator gets the idea that this is an autobiography, as he claims in his PROD rationales, and in a bizarre Deletion Review request where he states that "The author has continuously re-posted this page about himself"; as far as I can tell, User:Paul Drye has never edited this article.

 * Keep if we can find more sources, otherwise move to Draft:Paul Drye so it can be worked on. BOZ (talk) 22:55, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep Paul Drye has an account on here, and there's no indication that user has ever used this article for self-serving purposes. XiuBouLin (talk) 02:24, 19 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - This article does not meet WP:AUTHOR.--Rpclod (talk) 06:15, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails to pass GNG. No multiple, indepth, secondary source coverage. Pretty much all the sources are linked directly to him in a very clear manner. That some other person may be the one who found the sources and made the article here does not change the fact he comes no where near passing GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:18, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
