[edit] Leon Leviţchi
Non-notable, less than 1,000 Google results. Kookykman|(t)e 19:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. A dead Romanian linguist. The number of Google hits is not a relevant argument for his non-notability. He is author of a Romanian-English dictionary which has been republished several times. It seems that this is the standard dictionary between the languages; even Swedish libraries hold several copies of several different editions of this dictionary. In addition to this, translating classics such as the works of Shakespeare is a major accomplishment in itself, and if there is any reason to doubt the article's claim that he is "best remembered" for this translation, tagging it with a request for references is better. up+land 22:28, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per Uppland. I'm a huge fan of using Google to determine notability, but it's a tool that requires a somewhat discriminating user. Looking for information about sexual acts or computer games or TV shows or computer stuff? Awesome tool. Works like a goddamn charm. Just thinking about it makes me all tingly. But if you're looking for information about dead Romanian linguists? Yeah, no. Just doesn't do the trick real well. I wish more editors were a little more aware of Google's limitations on this front. (Absolutely no offense to Kookykman intended, obviously -- it's an understandable mistake to make, and I've made it myself.) -- Captain Disdain 02:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as per Uppland, the Google test is flawed in many instances, such as this one. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 03:00, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
