[edit] Gheorghe Teleman

Gheorghe Teleman (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Unknown and non-notable general. Perhaps slightly famous in his time, but non-notable now. Jmlk17 07:27, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Notability doesn't change over time. They're either notable or they're not. Nick mallory 08:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep General, senator and mayor. Clearly notable in Romania. Abberley2 12:22, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Seems to satisfy notability, though the article definitely needs expansion and sourcing. --Moonriddengirl 13:44, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Google isn't a great resource for finding info on 19th Century Romanian generals, so in the absence of evidence to the contrary (such as something like the book "A Comprehensive History of the Russo-Turkish War" makes only a one-line mention of him) I'd be inclined to regard figures like this as notable by default - a wartime general will almost certainly have received significant printed coverage. Could use expansion by someone with a knowledge of Romanian history, but for the moment it's a valid stub. Iain99 13:54, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
PS One source I did find ([1] p62) seems to confirm most of the information in the article, and that the Romanians considered him at least notable enough to erect a statue of him by public subscription. (Assuming my stab in the dark at interpreting Romanian is moderately accurate, of course) Iain99 16:47, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
