Eero Aarnio

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No major notability established. Article reads as a vanity piece with no reliable sources cited. seicer &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  13:17, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep: Eero Aarnio is one of the most famous furniture designers of the 20th century. This article needs better sources, but a quick google search would have yielded at least that much information: please do some research before nominating things for deletion.

 * The article has been up since 2004, pretty much in the same form. Can you care to take the time to add citations? Or shall I populate it with tags so that someone, on a rainy day, might find the time to source it? seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  16:14, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Why the sarcasm? The article has been around since 2004 and hasn't been improved. This automatically means that it should be deleted? As T L Miles correctly stated, a simple google search would have shown notability. And yes, the correct thing to do would have been to tag it for sources. That's what they are for. The fact that there are too few editors who work on art and design articles has nothing to do with notability in this case. freshacconci  talk talk  16:33, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong keep per T L Miles. I was shocked to see this nominated. The article may be poor but that does not mean the subject is not notable. And to indicate that it's a "vanity" piece, in addition to being something that shouldn't be used in an AfD discussion (nor is it a reason to delete in and of itself), is ludicrous. I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that I highly doubt that Aarnio wrote this or has contributed to this. He doesn't need to inflate his nonatbility with a Wikipedia article. I would like to see this become a speedy keep.  freshacconci  talk talk  16:04, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
