Carla Cretan

I can find no evidence of this individual's notability. Of the many links supplied in the article, all but two are either dead or make no mention of her. This one is a letter to the BBC; writing a letter to the BBC does not make one notable. This one makes passing mention of an article she wrote about a decade ago regarding her days as a student wasting time in Internet cafés; again, that in no way establishes notability. All other claims are unproven, and in any case nothing particularly notable is even claimed. - Biruitorul Talk 18:15, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Nothing in Google news, books, scholar. Web search does not return anything that establishes notability.  The references on the current Wikipedia page are ridiculous, most are not even references at all.  Fails WP:GNG  MisterRichValentine    (talk)  20:21, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per GNG. I agree with nominator about an evaluation of sources and I'm not seeing anything better in a reasonable search. Subject likely exists, but I see no compelling case for encyclopedic inclusion. Based on edits to image, likely autobiography intended to self-promote. BusterD (talk) 17:55, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Her most significant childhood experience is that "she watched the Romanian Revolution on television". Are these the thoughts of a person that exists? 207.2.122.150 (talk) 18:50, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment One of my most significant childhood experiences was watching the moon landing on TV. And I remember watching the "Romanian Revolution on television" myself as an adult, and it made quite an impact on me. All this is entirely off topic, since some sources do tend to corroborate her existence. And Cretan's story is somewhat compelling. She seems a fine individual who cares and is trying to make something of herself. I'm sure it would make interesting reading in an autobiography, but we're not here for that and she's not yet a notable subject for an encyclopedia, based on sources found.

 * Delete I can't be bothered to click all the unformatted links that are presented as sources, but the ones I did go through either do not verify the text, are circular, or are simply put spam. Oh, and did we mention WP:COI? The bloody TV Revolution bit is to save for a potential anthology of wikipedia autobiographies. "Never loneliness felt so lonely in one loner's loneliest life", indeed.
