[edit] Dragutin Novak

Article seems to be made up of mostly nonsense. CJ 12:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. Rolling back before what appears to be vandalism, the article is a Croatian bio-stub, with Novak being the first Croatian flyer, which can be seen here (according to my limited Croatian). While he struggles to meet WP:BIO (how widely recognised is the first Croatian to fly?), he also has an article in Croatian Wikipedia. Budgiekiller 13:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Rewrite a fine article exists on the croatian wiki concerning this man. if someone knows both languages it could be a better article. til then i will do some cleanup. no need to delete. seems to me like a person of note from croatia.--Tainter 13:21, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Yahoo turns up many sites on him, although most are non-english. What I can find list him as the first graduated pilot of croatia. I would assume croatians would find him notable. JN322 13:36, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. It appears from the well-sourced Croatian article that Novak may be almost as notable among Croatians as the Wright Brothers are among Americans. If he's notable in Croatia, he's notable enough for the English language Wikipedia. This should be sent to cleanup but should not be deleted. --Charlene 13:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Comment. It appears as if the entry (as it is now) is written in somewhat broken english. That is probably the reason for it sounding a bit nonsensical. JN322 14:38, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
