Gian Carlo Petraccaro

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional and deceptively sourced article on a non notable individual. Article has many sources but looking at them I see junk. A look at some.
 * Three sources to say he got $300 to attend a conference? Hardly the stuff that belongs in an encyclopedia. And the sources, His name appears on a list in the first. No mention in the other two.
 * Two sources that tell us that a bank collapsed. No mention of him. They do not verify the claim about him.
 * A link to a home page to say he was a board member. No mention of him.

This all comes down to being the writer and director of Offside, a film of questionable notability (Articles for deletion/Offside (2009 film)). Even that section is bombarded with the same source repeated multiple time, each time with a fake title. Without that film there is no notability. Even with it it currently falls short of NFILMMAKER as that film lacks "significant critical attention". duffbeerforme (talk) 03:41, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete. Agree with the nominated reasoning; and for similar reasons discussed in Articles for deletion/Offside (2009 film). Also, a ProQuest media database search for Carlo Petraccaro only returned 4 results in which his name was mentioned in passing and he, or his films, were not the subject of the article-- the coverage was not substantial, failing WP:NOTE.

 * Delete No notability independent of the film which has itself already been judged non-notable. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 06:08, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
