[edit] Daniele Geltrudi

vanity page? --Trovatore 15:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• Abstain as nominator. The accomplishments described might be notable enough for inclusion, and he does get some Google hits, but my suspicions were raised by the fact that the page appears to be edited several times by Geltrudi himself (or by someone who's such a fan as to take his name as a handle; also suspicious). I think there's no hard rule against a notable person writing about himself from reliable references, but it does raise doubts. --Trovatore 15:38, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, it looks like he didn't write about himself, at least under his own name (most of the text is by an IP). Rather, he added a picture of a building (presumably one of his designs?) and then removed it. --Trovatore 15:57, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

• Keep but clean up. I did a first pass, wikifing and doing basic formatting. But sources need to be cited and more work done. This person seems notable enough to me, but all the google hist i found were non-english pages. The automatic translations are good enough to make the page look plausible, but i dodn't trust them enough to use them as the basis for adding or revising content.

• I'll go keep based on initial clean-up. Marskell 21:00, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Thanks to DES for his work on the article. Capitalistroadster 01:01, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as nn commercial architect. Unverified info in article indicates Geltrudi has entered contests and exhibited his designs (not generally notable), but only actual buildings mentioned are minor commercial works. Besides, if he's not verifiable in English-language sites, does he belong in the English 'pedia? Obviously he could go in the Italian, but .. well, I don't know enough about how the diff. language versions are coordinated, if they are at all. Anyways, NN. Eaglizard 15:02, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Notable enough. If he belongs in the Italian WP, he belongs here, when someone writes a reasonable article in English about him, for which this is a start. Xoloz 17:08, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I strongly disgree with that statement. Given that the subject is Italian, while it is necessary that he be notable enough for inclusion on the it Wiki, it is not sufficient as I would expect topics that would be of marginal and localized notability to be notable enough only for inclusion in certain Wikipedias. For example, the vast majority of U.S. high school articles are not notable enough for any Wiki execpt the en Wiki. Caerwine 18:01, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep, but it'll need some cleanup. Karmafist 17:58, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
