[edit] Peppino Gagliardi

An Italian singer. Was tagged as a speedy delete, but with 19,400 Google hits he appears to be notable. Can anyone provide the article with some context and content? u p p l a n d 06:32, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Keep Flawed nom. Popular (if cheesy) Italian pop singer of the 70s, and well above many of the barely noteworthy bandmongers who get articles. CSB, all that. Here's a bio: Nato a Napoli nel 1940, Peppino Gagliardi comincia la carriera di cantante con un complesso che porta il suo nome, i Gagliardi. Diventato solista, nel 1963 ottiene un primo successo con 'T'amo e t'amerò'. Il suo periodo più fortunato è quello dei primi anni '70: va in classifica con 'Settembre', 'Sempre sempre', e nel 1972 e '73 ottiene due secondi posti a Sanremo, il primo con 'Come le viole' e il secondo con 'Come un ragazzino'. A partire dagli anni '80 si ritira gradualmente dal mondo della canzone; sua ultima partecipazione a Sanremo, nel 1993, con 'L'alba'. Eusebeus 08:03, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
  • If it is speedily kept, it reverts back to the state in which a user nominated it for speedy deletion. Why don't you just improve the article? u p p l a n d 08:43, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• I have had a go at improving it based on Babelfish translation of Eusebeus's Italian bio plus other resources. I think it demonstrates compliance with WP:NMG. Keep. Capitalistroadster 09:28, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep following the expansion by Capitalistroadster. --u p p l a n d 09:50, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep If the article had been even half as good as the improved version I wouldn't have nominated it for a speedy delete in the first place. Caerwine 19:58, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
