Later edit: Although the consensus of this discussion was "delete", this article and other have been discussed at Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Maltese nobility, where the general consensus seems to be that these articles should be kept and cleaned up. This article has now been tagged for cleanup. Joyous 19:09, Mar 5, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] De Piro

Another article about Maltese nobility, listed because several articles (see feb/15) are already under suspicion. Should follow the same consensus as those. Radiant! 11:00, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Dumping vast quantities of text written elsewhere and for other purposes into Wikipedia is in general a bad idea. The author can keep it on their personal research site. If it's useful stuff someone will incorporate it into Wikipedia one day and make a proper job of it. Trilobite (Talk) 15:04, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• I know nothing about Maltese history but some of these people seem to be fairly notable and the family probably is. But unless the author is prepared to release it under GFDL I don't see how it could be kept. Abstaining for now. / u p p l a n d 15:16, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, more Maltese political agenda dumping on WP. Wyss 19:29, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
