Harry Hasso

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

I'm really baffled that speedy was denied on this one. The initial edit summary for the article says, "Harry Hasso was my father I am his youngest daugther Magdalena Hasso/Callmér and his wife Britta Hasso has confirmed that the facts is correct.". Thus, it is quite obviously a vanity article. Flimsy assertions of notability include making documentaries which no longer exist and acting as himself. IMDB has heard of him but it does not appear to be a very distinguished career. Fails WP:BIO, WP:COI. Redfarmer (talk) 18:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * delete no sources. Logastellus (talk) 19:00, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Wife certainly seems notable since a search of him comes up with references of her having married him, but I can find no sources that he's done anything apart from marrying someone pretty . Travellingcari (talk) 19:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I will hold off for now. The IMDB entry cited in the nom indicates probable notability but the article needs sourcing. It is a brand-new article and we can see if any sources appear as the AfD progresses. And he certainly did seem quite competent at marrying pretty (and talented) women. Good for him! --JustaHulk (talk) 19:48, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I added a sourcelet to the article. Needs more, though. --JustaHulk (talk) 20:10, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It definitely needs more sources to be saved. The source you added is an article about his wife's death. If the article's notability were to be entirely based on that article, it would be notability through inheritance. It doesn't matter how notable his wife was; his notability has to be established independently. Redfarmer (talk) 08:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No doubt. --JustaHulk (talk) 12:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete non sources are seen, notability may also be the problem here. -  Milk's   Favorite   Cookie  20:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There is a reference to an article in a German periodical, added to the page today. If the page is not kept, I would suggest adding a few lines on Hasso to the article on his first wife (as she became famous under his surname) and redirecting his name to her. (For some reason, this article was never included in the User:AlexNewArtBot/SwedenSearchResult list of new Sweden-related articles. Could that be because of the listing on AFD?)
