[edit] Ricardo Carezani
This particular individual is not notable, neither per WP:BIO nor WP:PROF. The only mainstream notice of this person and his "signature" idea autodynamics has been through a wired.com article, which is not nearly enough to establish notability (See a previous AfD decision for precedent in this regard.) Moreover, as an academic, this particular person not particularly accomplished or recognized. There is also a matter of undue promotion made on the part of the authors of the autodynamics website in a possible conflict of interest or even soapbox representing the more gradiose claims in the text. Research this one carefully and you'll see that the sources used are all due to the internet promotions of a single non-notable would-be filmmaker David de Hilster thus you should pay attention to web guidelines for inclusion as well. This is a complicated one, so please be thoughtful in your evaluations. Nondistinguished 21:04, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

- Weak delete, since his only notable significance is the development of Autodynamics. Failing that, merge with Autodynamics. Xihr 21:25, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per my argument above. It would seem more reasonable to keep this one, as there is more content--his bio and his other views can be included. But one is certainly enough, and either would do. DGG (talk) 00:23, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. The subject is notable only for his crackpot Autodynamics. Merge some basic biographical info into the AD article. Askari Mark (Talk) 00:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect to autodynamics. Individual has no notability outside of his absurd theory. Cool Hand Luke 02:54, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- Very weak keep as there are sources here.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 09:33, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
