Believe this person is non notable and fails GNG Gbawden (talk) 11:32, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep I have expanded the article. Being chosen as a Great Floridian is a substantial state recognition and Frantzis is notable for his authorship of an account of his community's Greek sponge divers as well as for his businesses and community activism. Substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Candleabracadabra (talk) 14:09, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete I consider the prize as not significant for notability. He's one of the earlier winners, and the best list I can find is at List of Great Floridians--I think based on what is said there, most of the ones would not qualify for WP articles. There doesn't seem anything else that might qualify, &#39;DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 20:46, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak delete While I do believe his recognition in the Great Floridian program contributes somewhat to notability, there are no sources cited to contribute anything else to his notability. From what I can tell, he was a local businessman and an author of a non-fiction book; even combined I don't think it's sufficient to pass GNG. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 01:33, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Clarification: What I meant by "no sources" is the sources cited do not establish notability, as they are not significant coverage even if we would consider them reliable. &mdash;Darkwind (talk) 01:34, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:BASIC. The Odyssey of Hellenism in America, Sponge Industry Seeks Federal Aid, Plans Set for Bringinging 100 Greek Sponge Divers to Reopen Idle Beds. 24.151.116.25 (talk) 15:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * comment I made some minor improvements to the article. I do not know if it is enough to save the article; I’ll leave it to the administrators if it meets WP:GNG. But if it does, the article at least looks better than it did before. Regards, Jeff5102 (talk) 10:12, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - Going to say keep; has a claim and some sources to back it up. While its not stellar, more information is likely to be found with some effort. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:49, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
