 Relist rationale: Relisted, I'd like to see discussion of the sources added by Dan arndt on 26 May, which do not appear to have been in view for most of this discussion:. --j⚛e deckertalk 17:25, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete "Café owner dies in Europe" news item does not add much of a notability to an "architect". If I am not missing anything, all sources make trivial mentions of the person. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 17:37, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Present ref 17 about his 1951 "maisonettes" says "A significant early work by this important modernist architect. " Note that a RS calls him an "important modernist architect." Other refs from reliable and independent sources say he was then a leading architect in his country. Satisfies WP:N and WP:BIO. His work included residences as well as public buildings such as libraries and galleries. His modern style was notable at the time, and notability is not temporary. The opinions of Wikipedia editors that he was not important are trumped by reliable sources saying literally that he was a leading and important architect. Edison (talk) 18:33, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
