[edit] Paul O'Leary

Delete. Sourceless hoax; not that having romances with celebrities is a sign of notability anyways. Unfortunately it tries to assert notability so speedy seems out of the question (dunno), and the author has contested the prod. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 02:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. There are 6 Google News results none related to this guy. [1]
