[edit] Ionuţ Iftimoaie

Ionuţ Iftimoaie (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Most of my searching turns up youtube or youtube related videos documenting the individual fighting - I haven't noticed anything that suggests notability or decent coverage in mainstream reliable sources. Might retract based on community help though. Wisdom89 (talk) 18:44, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

  • KEEP - He might not be very well known abroad, but he is very well know in Romania.
    Yes the article is less than satisfying atm, but a lot of good articles were like that before. diego_pmc (talk) 20:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Since you speak Romanian and many of us don't, can you help to add sources to the article? We have fairly strict policies on how to write biographies of living people; it's better if all information is cited to reliable sources like newspaper articles. cab (talk) 00:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Yeah, sure. I'm gonna look for the citations that are marked as "needed" in the article first. BTW, are videos good references? And is someone finds something in Romanian, and is not sure, I could check it. diego_pmc (talk) 07:52, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete - no references; no particular assertion of notability. Biruitorul (talk) 23:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I speak no Romanian, but I can see a lot of hits from what would appear to be reliable sources (i.e. media outlets for whom Wikipedia has articles, like Pro TV [1], Evenimentul Zilei [2], Adevărul [3], etc). cab (talk) 00:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
    • The link to Evenimentul Zilei's site, says (in the intro of the article) about Iftimoaie being a fighter in K1. However, that article's main topic has nothing to do with that. Would that do as a reference, by pointing out only that part? diego_pmc (talk) 08:31, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Romania-related deletion discussions. cab (talk) 00:00, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep per cab's good research on the subject.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 00:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
