[edit] Auron tare

Borderline speedy as nn-bio, worthy yet non-notable head of national park and associated foundation. Assertion of war journalism unverified MNewnham 17:27, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep, Google search [[1]] shows over a hundred unique hits, many not in English, citing this person as director or founder of the archeology center, or as director of the national park. Most appear to be archeology-related academic mentions or legitimate news, not just self-promotion or Wikipedia mirror sites. You'll get lower numbers if you search with Preferences set to English only. Barno 23:46, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

• the person is associated with a number of archaeology institutions as well as being a founder of Butrint National Park according to information in website. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kalivo (talk • contribs) .
• Keep; the current head of a park at any given time may not be notable, but Tare seems to have done much more. Although the article is largely unverified, it seems verifiable. I think this article could squeak by with a bit of trimming and an (unreferenced) tag. Melchoir 12:27, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

tare has worked in Kosova in 1998 and 1999 for ITN TV. He was working very closly with the well known british journalist Gabi Rado who was killed in Irak.

• comment I notice that this page has been modified, and now contains even more unsubtantiated claims than before.

this article implies he is not head of the Albanian National Trust, as claimed.

This article implies that the Archeological mission at Butrint is simply a branch office, and the Auron Tare is the head.

My nomination stands as is. MNewnham 23:58, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

I have checked the albanian related sites. The information is correct. Also an article from Washington Post and Cnn Traveler give him the credit for establishing the National Park of Butrint
