Not significant or noteworthy enough to have a Wikipedia page Todd Friedman (talk) 01:15, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep: the nominator is a SPA who appears to be here only to disparage the reputation of the subject of that article. — Jeff G. ツ (talk) 01:34, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That would perhaps be true if the subject had a reputation to be disparaged. Please consider whether or not this man is actually significant enough to be included on Wikipedia, because if the answer is yes, the amount of quasi-internet famous people worthy of their own page would skyrocket. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.179.159.84 (talk) 01:52, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Regardless of the nominator's actions, I am unable to find any independent reviews, interviews, or published commentary on the article subject. The refs in the article go to self-published sources and/or promotional PR pieces. Subject apparently isn't notable yet. --| Uncle Milty | talk | 02:06, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Thanks, Jeff G. for pointing us and I agree with Uncle Milty. No significance now maybe later. Many thanks, NickAang (talk) 14:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Now, admittedly, this video[1] on Paul's youtube channel is an amazing testimonial. It reports that "all the girls are talking about Paul Ranni at college." Nevertheless, most of his videos have but a few hundred views each. While Paul tweeted this week that he loves having a wikipedia article[2], and I hate to hurt the feelings of this Role Model, and as much as the "Duke Fightmaster" episode of "This American Life" was super awesome and Paul Ranni reminds me of that so much I hope he reads this comment and learns from the Duke[3], I must say he is not notable.--Milowent • ^hasspoken 04:44, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete Has no one noticed that the articles creators has asked for deletion above. In any case the person is not notable and this article was created by an editor who has been paid to create around about a dozen promotional articles. Ridernyc (talk) 04:46, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
