Doesn't meet GNG and barely notable, only created due to his death today. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:13, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep lots of very substantial coverage. An article on the product he develooed exists so at worst a merge would be appropriate outcome. FloridaArmy (talk) 14:17, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * There's nothing really to merge. It is already stated Pizza Pops were invented by him in the 1960s. The only other info is his birth/death. I guess we can keep this redirect though to Pizza Pops. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 14:19, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to Pizza Pops. Madg2011 (talk) 20:22, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Pizza Pops but also note this article also violates WP:NOTMEMORIAL and so should probably be rewritten there. SportingFlyer (talk) 22:33, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Pizza Pops. I was going to start a draft for this person, but the article was already created.-- Auric   talk  14:26, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge per Auric. 2001:569:7C07:2600:31DD:602E:28C1:EA41 (talk) 02:39, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge to Pizza Pops. No prejudice against recreation if someone puts in the work to find more evidence of sustained reliable source coverage about him to get him over WP:GNG — in the database I've got, he gets just one hit apart from the "Paul Faraci has died" blip itself, so I'm not the angel of salvation here — but a person doesn't automatically qualify for a standalone article just because his death occasions obituaries. And that's especially true when two of the five obituaries are reprints of the same wire service article, and thus combine as one reference per citation overkill rules. He's a plausible enough search term that we should retain it as a redirect to the thing he's known for — but the sourcing here just isn't good enough to earn him a standalone article as a separate topic, and even the content is mainly about the product apart from his birth and death dates.

 * Neutral Whatever can be the outcome of this discussion, I thought it was right to merge the birthdate and deathdate of the inventor, including a reference on his death in the main article for the Pizza Pops. --Lemur12 (talk) 18:44, 7 March 2018 (UTC)
