Paul Parducci[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unsourced biography. I found him linked in a few articles, so I did a little research. Couldn't really find anything except that he's been in a few movies that the IMDb says are awaiting 5 votes, and he recently published two e-books that have no reviews. His publisher advertises that they aggressively promote their authors, and his article was created by a single purpose account. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 03:29, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A look at his IMDb page shows mostly bit parts and one-off roles, things that are far from what the article claims. Not that bit parts can't get attention, but it's rare that they do and I couldn't find anything that shows that he's an exception. I found two mentions in the LA Times for a bit of comedy he did with two other people, but the problem is that's all that seems to be out there. This looks to be a pretty blatant puff piece written by what was likely a COI editor, since their sole edits appear to have been attempts to add Parducci to various different pages. This could probably be speedied as sheer promotion. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:22, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Very much an 'EXTRA', his IMDb ranking is in the 135,000 range so not very famous in the movie circles either. Only big production he has been in is Switchback as Man in Shower. Sorry but no, some extras do deserve to be listed on wikipedia but he isn't one of them..--Stemoc (talk) 05:54, 30 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
