Cristian Caraman

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The main reason this should go is the usual one: lack of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I could find nothing of the sort, either in English or in Romanian. (Tellingly, no major Romanian newspaper mentions him.) The "references" do nothing to bolster a claim of notability, either. Footnotes 1, 2 and 4 are meaningless. Footnote 3, even assuming it's legitimate, doesn't demonstrate any particularly significant level of coverage. Footnotes 5, 6 and 7 are also irrelevant: publishing a book (or three) does not automatically make one notable. Let's also point out the obvious: the man's name is Emanuel-Cristian Caraman, and this was created by single-purpose account Emanuelcaraman. He's a relentless self-promoter, but there's no reason to give him a berth in this encyclopedia. - Biruitorul Talk 01:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - I didn't see any links on Google and Yahoo that could help the biography. SwisterTwister   talk  04:25, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete The article is all about his music career, but there is no indication that there has been any media coverage of it. That's true even if you take the sourcing at face value. And the sourcing looks highly suspicious, for example for three books that he supposedly wrote. (No book review to boast of? What kind of book is that?) Kauffner (talk) 16:08, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
