 * Keep Passes WP:Bio with flying colors. Did several searches for this gentleman... (Paul Murphy, writer), (Paul Murphy, author), (Paul Murphy, critic), (Paul Murphy, artist)... and despite the common name, if one checks the source text to eliminate the wrong ones, one finds plenty to suport the article.

 * Note: I moved the article to Paul Murphy (author) per WP:NAME. We never list a "birth dash" for a living person, and there was no author article yet. No opinion as to notability.  Jerry   delusional ¤ kangaroo 01:27, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Tentative delete unless MQS or someone can actually post the references to his work that he thinks supports the article. I didn't see any. DGG (talk) 17:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per DGG. Stifle (talk) 11:03, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per my searches above. For any notable writer of this age and nationality Google would be able to find substantial coverage. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:59, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
