Antonio Nardini

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable person. Indications of local note only; insufficient evidence of notability beyond his role as a local historian. It may be interesting to note that this person's biography was deleted from the Italian Wikipedia following an AFD there. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:12, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete The Italian AfD found this is a local historian of local interest, no evidence of books receiving significant independent coverage. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 17:18, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm finding substantial coverage including in English as here from the New York Times news service. Candleabracadabra (talk) 11:39, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually, that is a piece about a soldier named John Fox, in which they happened to interview Nardini as one of the local historians who was remembering Fox. Anything else you've found?  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:49, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * While Nardini is not the primary focus of the article, his role as a local historian and former fascist are discussed. This is substantial coverage along with the dozens of articles in Italian. Candleabracadabra (talk) 11:52, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The coverage I've found of him in Italian media all originate from the Barga region, where Nardini is a local historian. The evidence of wider notability is missing.   WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:29, 12 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Thanks for Candleabracadabra's NYT find with significant coverage, I did more searching and found an additional source. It is offline but request verification at WP:REX (Source: ProQuest). It makes a direct assertion of notability "a potent symbol for Italian youth".
 * Eoin Callan. "Brave stand of soldiers ignored by their country", Financial Times [London (UK)] 26 Aug 2000. Quote: "A young man recruited to the local fascist party, who later became disillusioned, said war veterans such as Antonio Nardini were still a potent symbol for Italian youth."
 * I think with this international coverage, plus substantial local coverage, is enough to err on the side of Keep. --Green Cardamom (talk) 17:16, 12 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment Although I don't have access to the full Financial Times story, there is a brief synopsis here which shows that the Financial Times coverage is for the same single event that the New York Times coverage is for: a group of Buffalo Soldiers (African-American soldiers of World War II) returned to Italy to commemorate a particularly heroic act by one of their members. Nardini happened to be interviewed by an on-spot reporter as a local historian of the event, and that story got picked up by FT and NYT and others.  This still doesn't appear to me to indicate any significant notability.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:33, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
