Conflict of interests: The article has been completely, entirely, solely and uniquely written by Aprilov's daughter. Магьосник (talk) 01:25, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So what? Lack of multiple independent sources documenting the person in depth is the criterion for deletion, not who an editor may be.   So when you did the search for sources before nominating an article for deletion &mdash; as one is supposed to do &mdash; and turned up the potted biography of this person in Kirilov's and Kirk's 1969 Introduction to modern Bulgarian literature, what made you think that  deletion policy should be applied in the way that you've applied it?

 * Keep. and improve. The subject is notable enough; Wikipedia is full of less-notable pages about people. The style needs improvement as well as the sourcing, but either Wikipedia is a Wiki that invites all users to edit or create pages or it is not. I think some Wikipedians try to impress higher standards on others than they themselves meet. Personally I find the style on this page refreshing when compared to a lot of ill-written Wikipedia pages, of which there are many. Tom Reedy (talk) 04:42, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - concerns about WP:OWN, maybe, but that's not enough to consider the article subject NN. There may be need for wider contribution but delete is not, in my opinion, called for. Stalwart111 (talk) 11:35, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep This nomination is absurd. Wikipedia doesn't prohibit biographies written by relatives. Kostja (talk) 16:36, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Terrible nomination. Article needs editing for style, I hope somebody does that. Carrite (talk) 18:05, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
 * (OP here) Dear guys, I now realise the absurdity and terribleness of this nomination, and I beg to be forgiven and promise to behave more carefully from now on. Can we have this case snowballed? --Theurgist (talk) 20:55, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
