Delete The only indepth coverage is the first gnews hit, other than that he fails WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 00:39, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Was unable to find anything about him that would pass WP:SIGCOV. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 19:40, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep With the new source it passes WP:GNG. I will admit it was hard to find sources on this guy, he had the perfect storm of problems, a common name and lots of material he wrote as a film critic. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 02:59, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep was easily able to find SIGCOV including specific coverage of his retirement from Sydney Morning herald. Linked in article.

Please WP:BEFORE more thoroughly before advocating for deletions. Jack4576 (talk) 12:09, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's been hard to find sources with Newspapers.com being downjust wondering how did you find that article? I got swamped with a bunch of noise with other Paul Harris's and what I could find about him was just some of his reviews. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 02:57, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My search into Google read: ["Paul Harris" Melbourne] it was the 8th link on the first page Jack4576 (talk) 04:09, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well now I feel real silly thanks for letting me know. As I said when I changed my vote I think this guy is a strange edge case but still passes WP:GNG. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 09:53, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
