  • Delete On ground of lack of notability and lack of meaningful content Computerjoe's talk 21:15, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. President of Pirelli, member of the European Round Table of Industrialists, 56 hits on Google Scholar [1], 41 hits on Google Books [2]. See also it:Marco Tronchetti Provera, [3], [4] etc. Notable international business figure. --Edcolins 18:12, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep President of Pirelli one of the largest tyre company in the world.former president of telecom italia.One of the main capitalist of Italy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucifero4 (talk • contribs) 20:11, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. I think he was also a leader in Confindustria. Every Italian has heard of him. it would be like deleting Richard Branson because he is only known in the English-speaking world. user:myth1727 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myth1727 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - you have to be bloody joking - this man is the president of a major international tyre manufacturer (see: http://www.pirelli.com/web/governance/board-dir/default_Tronchetti.page) Did any of the delete votes bother to see if this man was well-known?

  • Stop suggesting deletions without thinking. This man is very well renowned in Italy. The person who suggested the deletion I gather is the same one who suggested the deletion of Laetitia Zonzambé and Davide Stefanini. Just because these people are not notable in her/his country (US ? UK ?), it does not make them un-notable. If a person is notable in a country, this is enough for notability I think, and the same applies to all three cited here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edges273 (talk • contribs) 10:48, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Although you couldn't get much more of a stubbier stub the guy is the president of an internationally known corporation which I believe satisfies WP:BIO though some could argue (and will) that it is borderline as there are no citations or references to demonstrate what his notability as Pirelli's president is. Someone definitely needs to do some work on the article.--WebHamster 11:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
