Delete: fails WP:NCREATIVE, and per the comments in the original AfD. ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:52, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, possible G11 even: As mentioned, this was previously deleted as Paul Pluta; the current article is gaming the system to pretend not to be the same article, adding a lot of words to make it appear not to meet WP:G4 (there is no substantisive addition to the article vis-a-vis the deleted one, just a lot of sesquipedalian loquaciousness to hide that), and WP:BOMBARDMENT of references that don't actually reference what they're claiming to reference ("predicted the rail fails[ref]", [ref] is about the 'rail fails' themselves). Furthermore this both fails WP:NCREATIVE and, also, is blatantly promotional (note the wording: "One thing is certain, however. Mr. Pluta, by way of his Archie character, is working hard at succeeding at what he claims is now a full time pursuit. And it seems his base of followers is growing.".). - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 22:29, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge content relating to Queensland Rail into Queensland Rail: OK, he fails WP:CREATIVE, but he has had mainstream newspaper coverage as a railway advocate/whistleblower. See this Google search. But it's arguably one event and could be merged into Queensland Rail. I note that the creator of the article on Paul pluta has been attempting to add content into Queensland Rail about the current problems with Queensland Rail (the Rail Fail) and Paul Pluta's role in predicting it (see diff) but this has been edit-warred away (probably more for style reasons than substance). It would not be unreasonable to mention Pluta's role in the matter (although in a slightly drier style) as we have reliable citations to support it. Kerry (talk) 08:54, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Selective Merge to Queensland Rail, which presently has no mention of the subject and his findings. Essentially a WP:BLP1E situation, but a merge will improve the latter article as per WP:ATD-M. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 16:57, 11 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
