[edit] Three articles on an Italian architect

This nomination covers the following three articles. (A fourth article, Teatro Sociale in Busto Arsizio, turned out to be a copyvio and has been handled accordingly.)

• Daniele Geltrudi

Was discussed back in October 2005 and kept, see the old AfD discussion. However, I do not think the basic premises expressed back then still hold. To me, this is a clear case of advertising and vanity. I get only 33 Google hits off-wikipedia for him. Being a member of some architects' society in Como, Italy and having built some building isn't enough for me. That's what architects do usually, after all, and there are thousands, if not millions more who have comparable achievements. Furthermore, the article has not improved since then; it's still completely unsourced, written in some variant of "Inglis", and the (nearly sole) editor is User:Geltrudi. Also note that the article at the Italian Wikipedia that was mentioned in the old AfD discussion does not appear to exist, see it:Daniele_Geltrudi, and a search over there also came up empty. Delete as nn-bio, vanity. Lupo 10:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Daniele Geltrudi Figures and all the various redirects (beware of double redirs!)

Wikipedia is not the place to showcase some architects work. Mr. Geltrudi is free to set up his own web site elsewhere. Delete as nn, vanity, advertisement, showcase. Lupo 10:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• L'idea di città

Looks insignificant to me: Google brings up only 36 hits for +"L'idea di città" +moretti, some of which are on Wikipedia (includes some unrelated links), and even only three hits for +"L'idea di città" +geltrudi, all on Wikipedia. Delete as nn, vanity. Lupo 10:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• I nearly forgot: all the images used in these articles; if the articles are deleted, they are useless. Delete. Lupo 18:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

• Delete all per nominator, vanity/advertising, non-notable. Paddles ^T_C 10:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Note: User:Geltrudi removed the AfD boxes from the three articles in question. I have restored the AfD boxes and left a comment on User talk:Geltrudi inviting Geltrudi to contribute to the discussion. Paddles ^T_C 10:31, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
• Delete all per nom, vanity/advertising. -- NORTH ^talk 21:16, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
