Paul Gordon (magician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a published magician who does not seem to meet the qualifications for either WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:AUTHOR. Nothing directly evident on Google, GNews, etc., that would qualify for presumption of notability under WP:GNG. BenTels (talk) 15:15, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources. If in-depth coverage in multiple independent sources is added to the article, feel free to ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:13, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - cannot find any online news coverage about Gordon. Only Magic Week seems to have reviewed his (self published?) book. Insufficient proof he's a notable magician or author. Sionk (talk) 21:57, 30 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. I agree with the nominator, this gentleman doesn't seem to meet WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:AUTHOR.  I'm pretty sure publishing your own books by starting a publishing company meets the presumption of non-notability in WP:NBOOKS.  As well, the only cite (dubious whether this is a reliable source) contains this phrase: "Hefty slices are concerned with Paul Gordon publicity…" which suggests to me why this article may have been created.
