[edit] Raffaele Cadorna, Jr.
Contested prod. Violates WP:RSUE and WP:BIO. Failed WP:Geogre's Law at the time of the prod. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:11, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Appears notable from a Google search, although I would like to see more references. Isn't there a street named after him in Rome too? Bardcom (talk) 02:20, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Seems to be an entire book about him: [1]. And I think Geogre's law is a bit silly. A new user might simply make a typo when writing the new article's title and not know how to move the page to the proper location. Zagalejo^^^ 02:39, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Subject appears to be notable; I cleaned up the text and corrected the article title; I'm sure the user wasn't aware of the naming conventions when he created it. Yes, the article needs work, but that's nothing new to Wikipedia. Also, I think WP:RSUE isn't sufficient grounds for deleting an article. At worst, the Italian-language sources should be removed, and the article tagged as unreferenced. Parsecboy (talk) 05:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Notable Italian general and statesman. SUE doesn't say delete it for violating SUE, it says English language sources, all things considered, are preferable for en.wikipedia. This doesn't mean en.wiki uses low grade English sources, and eliminates non-English speakers, when these resources are not readily available. English sources are a courtesy to the reader, not the only allowable reference materials. There probably is a street named after him in Rome. I've never heard of him doesn't mean he's not notable. --69.226.108.255 (talk) 08:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, chief of staff of a national army would seem inherently notable position, and having been a Senator means he passes WP:BIO automatically. --Dhartung | Talk 09:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, user may need to review quoted policies for this. And I agree with Dhartung. ~ Cheers! Dreamy § 23:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep — being a provincial legislator alone is sufficient for notability purposes; national legislators should be even more obvious. Of course a national legislator is notable. Nyttend (talk) 02:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
