[edit] Carlo Dellonte

Carlo Dellonte (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Italian author who appears to have only written one book (which doesn't have its own article. Other than that the article makes no further assertions of notability. The CSD tag was removed by another editor and it was given stub status. Doesn't meet WP:BIO WebHamster 23:50, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I don't think this should be deleted. Carlo Dellonte is a published writer and hence has a growing number of fans. Please, since this is my first article contribution to wiki, let me know what i should do to prevent articles from being deleted. thank you! Just to point out: Carlo Dellonte wrote 'The Hollow House'. He also published: 'Lost e i suoi segreti Un libro di Carlo Dellonte e Giorgio Glaviano'. Furthermore, he recently started working for a radio (radio 3) show called "La Storia in Giallo" (which would translate into something like "Detective History"). The show deals (quite broadly) with historical murders and mysteries and it is made up of a radio-drama + interview with expert on the topic. His occupation: research and write the radio-dramas. So far he has written two; one aired in May (on Mary Shelley and the "mysterious" invention of Frankenstein) and the other will air in September (on the Sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick). Also, for those Tesla fans, there will be a 3rd one on Nikola Tesla. Therefore I still think Carlo Dellonte should stay in the writer, poet or playwright stub.

fwiw, the review in the scotsman quoted says " I cannot imagine what virtues the publisher could have seen in this" DGG (talk) 18:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete might be notable someday, but isn't currently. One published book (a really awful one, according to the linked review) with a 4,750,806 amazon sales rank. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:48, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Per Starblind and nom. This person might not be notable enough eventually, but not right now. GlassCobra (talk • contribs) 17:13, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete No Google News hits, and the review linked above makes seem unlikely that this will garner significant attention from other Wikipedia:Reliable sources. Only the Scotsman source comes close to hitting WP:RS, and it is not sufficient on its own. MrZaius^talk 08:40, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
