[edit] Carlos Petroni

Possible vanity article. No sources, nothing links to it, non-notable subject Blue Lilac 17:44, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep 14k Ghits Computerjoe's talk 20:06, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - said hits relate to a number of different guys! Article fails WP:V due to lack of independent sourcing of the content. A foreign languaguage link is no help on the English WP. BlueValour 03:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Since when is a foreign language, especially Spanish, too obscure to serve as an illustration? At the very least, one can recognize his name as being the editor. I added a section 'References', having a translated interview that largely confirms the content of the article, published on a Marxist website. Being extensively interviewed at least proves that Petroni was noticed and thus notable, moreover since that website and the title of the interview also occur on another website (see my edit comment). Notability already followed from the man having been a "leader of the Argentinean Partido Socialista de los Trabajadores (PST) from 1973 to 1976 and its continuation, the Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) from 1983-1988", stated in the article. Non-notable does not mean 'I do not like Wikireaders to notice that Marxists still exist'. — SomeHuman 25 Sep 2006 23:54 (UTC)
  I also found on archives.econ.utah.edu a recent article: Nepal's struggle – Article and photographs by Carlos Petroni (22 Apr 2006), such proves once more that he is notable. I am not at all amused by the proposing of an AfD if I can in just half an hour find references and other sources that prove notability, on a subject I am not familiar with. — SomeHuman 26 Sep 2006 00:27 (UTC)
