[edit] Leonardo Malcovati

Leonardo Malcovati (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Living writer with only one book and no other claim to notability. A prod tag has been removed three times, twice by different anons and once by the original creator of the article User:Giovanni.manganello (in his third edit ever since he created the article 7 months ago). All three gave similar reasons in the edit summary, and may be the same person. Side note: User:Complainer claims to be Leonardo Malcovati, and has edited the article moderately. Giovanni and Complainer have both been informed after I added the Prod for the first time. Overall I doubt the notability, hence delete. Chris 73 | Talk 21:09, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - No assertion of WP:N.--Bryson 21:23, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Comment. If a {{prod}} is removed, it should not be restored. {{prod}} is only for uncontroversial deletions. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 22:42, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Since the article expressly links his notability to authorship of a particular book, I have focused on that by extension, and found nothing that would meet even the threshold standards of Wikipedia:Notability (books). The book returns zero results for a Worldcat search[1], ranks at close to a million at Amazon, is not found through google books, does not appear to have won any awards, and so on. Under these circumstances, if the book is not notable by our standards, then the author is certainly not.--Fuhghettaboutit 22:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
