non-notable -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:54, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Bart Locanthi is, as an AES and ASA fellow, and AES Gold Medal recipient, very notable. Pent112 (talk) 10:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's not notability. If you want to easily prove Alan Liefting's pretty much nonexistent rationale false, cite multiple independent reliable sources that cover this person's life and works in depth.  I see that you had already cited one (a page-long article in the JAES) before the article was even nominated.  Cite some more.  You'll give the closing administrator something clearly and strongly founded in deletion policy to hang xyr hat on, which cannot be said of that nomination rationale.  Sources! Sources! Sources!

 * That's more like it. That gives the discussion specific sources to address.  If you can find and cite sources that are primarily about Locanthi, discussing him in depth, that will help to make your case watertight. Uncle G (talk) 12:53, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep - per sources found by Pent112. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 00:30, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Sources are available to establish notability. -- J mundo 20:43, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
