Kindly provide a definition of notability before deleting this article.

Does a person have to be a scholar of European languages to qualify for notability. None knows anything about these Italian writers outside Italy. Does that disqualify their notability?

OK, Notable but cleanup please
I stand corrected. However this biographical article needs to have non-English language removed, add biographical information (birth date, place), etc. laurap414 (talk) 01:41, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
