- Speedy keep 3 valid entries, all meet MOS:DABMENTION. Potential for confusion - nothing to be gained by deletion. Boleyn (talk) 17:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep; my rationale, as copied from noq's talk page, was that "it would appear Millionaire Devlin is notable. When I was writing the Robert Brydges article, one of the articles mentioned him and a very quick check indicates two more articles talking specifically about him from the same website and a Wikipedia search indicates the existence of other Steve Devlins - which may well also fall foul of WP:1EVENT, but as they are notable for something a redirect to one of them would be inappropriate". However, Boleyn puts it much better than I and so keep per her.--Launchballer 18:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This is actually the second time this article title has been deleted though the first AFD in 2011 considered only the "millionaire" Steve Devlin and decided he wasn't notable. That said, disambiguation would seem to have some value if there is any chance of confusion. I'm probably at weak keep for those reasons. Stalwart111 14:11, 22 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
