So what happens now? This article was tagged over a year ago as completely unsourced, and it remains so. I don't have any. What to do? DoctorJoeE ( talk) 23:02, 23 January 2011 (UTC) reply

I moved this article from "Paul Drake (detective)" to "Paul Drake (fictional detective)" to match the article title style used for a similar article, Archie Goodwin (fictional detective). Ideally the name could stand alone ( Sam Spade, etc.), but when disambiguation is needed it seems best to identify the subject as a fictional character. — WFinch ( talk) 14:40, 12 April 2015 (UTC) reply
