- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was no consensus to delete, which defaults to keep. No prejudice against other handling, such as the merger proposed by Dhartung, to address concerns of stand-alone notability or sparsity of sourcing. Further conversation about the appropriate treatment of the article should take place in article talk space. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:11, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to pass WP:N guidelines. Of the four "references", two are written by the subject and the other two are on IMDB. SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 22:19, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I originally posted my comments on the articles Talk page, re-posting here now.
If the article still qualifies for deletion then delete it. I don't have any more to add to it right now, sorry. I still think it is a mistake because I recently heard him give a lecture and I think he is going on tour, so there will be a lot more references to him and his work at some point. But I guess I will leave it to someone else to re-do the work at that point. His book, btw, is brilliant and ground-breaking. Wonder14 (talk) 19:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep- There does seem to be sources and his name is mentioned in several publications in google books, which supports the notion that he is a notable figure in homosexual psychology. Rigby27 Talk 14:13, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. There is nothing notable about the person. It is a basic vita listing. Seems more appropriate for a personal website. Renee (talk) 03:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 03:05, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge/redirect to Paul Monette. Citations are sparse or incidental. Most of the times he comes up it's as Monette's partner, either in the documentary or in memorializations. His 2007 book does not seem to have been reviewed by major pubs. There are a few papers, but not major ones (he only gets a drive-by mention in The Advocate, for example[1], suggesting some name recognition but not supporting WP:BK). I don't think he's quite at WP:PROF. --Dhartung | Talk 05:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - it's nice and sourced! —TreasuryTag talkcontribs 17:22, 3 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's nice and sourced? All four of the actual references are to articles about Monette. The rest are his bibliography - so none of them pass the "significant coverage" part of WP:N. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
