Declining speedy; Can't make sense of this (click on "Google translation"), can't say that it's an A7, taking to AfD. - Dank (push to talk) 16:41, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not Greek, and don't know how to speak Greek, but I will babelfish it and edit it as I go along. Eurovision 2009 and 2010Sasha SonSakis Rouvas 18:51, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I have done. The article can now be found as Papanikolay Konstantinos and he can now be establised as a notable Greek journalist, so I say keep. Add external and internal links and this could be a really good article. Eurovision 2009 and 2010Sasha SonSakis Rouvas 19:15, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I have made some copy edits to attempt to make the text clearer. Neutral on AfD though. Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 01:57, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the given name is Konstantinis and the surname should be Papanikolaou (this is the only combination/spelling which yields results) Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 18:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment: needs an expert (and by that I mean a Greek-speaker. I have made some efforts to find sources and have nothing for my efforts (save the correct spelling of the man's name, the fact that he exists and is a journalist). I am loathe to say delete as I suspect Greek-language sources may be available. I cannot read them though and am further impeded by the fact that his appears to be a common Greek name (shared by a sportsman). Bigdaddy1981 (talk) 18:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I would suggest waiting until the page has been fully translated until we reach a consensus. Eurovision 2009 and 2010Sasha SonSakis Rouvas 12:02, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Move to RfD since the link is a redirect. The Junk Police (reports|works) 01:08, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That would be pointless. The article the link redirects to is the article which is the subject of this afd. Just because the article has moved, doesn't mean we automatically close the AFD-- Jac 16888 Talk 16:33, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak delete. I couldn't find an article about him in the Greek Wikipedia.]. A Google news search isn't that promising. A web search is more promising, revealing that he is giving a speech on June 11. It seems like he is nationally notable, as a journalist, but I don't think he meets the Wikipedia inclusion standards laid out here. Currently this article is basically an unsourced BLP and reliable sources aren't readily available, but (Like bigdaddy) I concede that sources could possibly be found.  This article was unsourced to begin with and perhaps should not have been translated. It might have been better if it were WP:transwikied to the Greek Wikipedia to give it the best chance for development and then deleted here per A2, with the hope that a better article would come about in the future, possibly based on the one originally submitted here.Synchronism (talk) 04:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Synchronism. Unsourced BLP. Willing to change vote if sources are found. لenna  vecia  18:59, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
