Giuseppe Said
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable alleged claimant to various extinct titles of nobility, created by the subject's son, who at one point put himself in the article. There are only 11 Google hits on this fellow, all from his son's website, this article and Wiki mirrors. The previous AfD cited a three-year-old consensus to Keep at Deletion_policy/Maltese_nobility, which posited that any noble title anywhere, and anyone who could ever make claim to one, was notable by definition; however, the only source positively connecting Said to these titles come from the son's website, which is a huge WP:COI issue. At the time, the consensus also held that all these Maltese nobility titles had to be improved; three years down the road, this has not happened.

 * Delete. The Maltese nobility may have had some significance at some time. Their great grandchildren (or whatever) have no significance now. The web.archive.org copy of a page of Tancarville's quotes ome of these descendants telling us I doubt the general population occupies any of its waking hours thinking about the nobility. Incidentally, while I'm not sure if the British have a "nobility", the British royles do have some minor significance; but even so, minor British royles do not automatically merit an article. -- Hoary (talk) 15:57, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
