Jacob Kurek

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article about an architect at Henning Larsen Architects, written by Henning Larsen Architects. In my opinion, he fails WP:GNG Night of the Big Wind  talk  02:15, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I don't really see much in terms of independent references. I did a Google search, and a scholarly reference search, and most of the links to Mr. Kurek come from his employer, Henning Larsen Associates. Debbie W. 04:09, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Don't delete A quick google search show a lot of independent references: http://www.cityscaperiyadh.com/Conference/WAC/Speakers/Speaker-Profiles/Jacob-Kurek/, http://www.ajman.ac.ae/austweb/indexd301.html?catid=11&newsid=1792&langid=2, http://www.meed.com/sectors/construction/real-estate/jacob-kurek/3092668.article, http://www.designbuild-network.com/features/feature513/feature513-7.html, http://www.sesam-uae.com/jeddah/profiles/jacob-kurek.asp. Mr. Kurek is an important, well known architect in the Middle East Area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josefine vesterbrogade (talk • contribs) 08:42, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm not convinced Kurek is notable in his own right. Several of the sources listed above are promoting him as a speaker, or lecturer, therefore not independent or reliable. Generally the articles cited in the article are about Henning Larsen projects, not Kurek. He probably deserves an honourable mention in the Henning Larsen article. But if more than one news article substantially about Kurek can be found, I'll happily change my 'vote'. Sionk (talk) 23:58, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete. None of the sources listed by Josefine vesterbrogade appear to be independent, they are profiles written for conferences that he attended. Such sources are often OK for basic facts, but they lack the independence to be reliable indicators of notability. Sjakkalle (Check!)  19:12, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
