 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. nomination is vague wave, other delete argument is about current state of article, ignoring potentials sources. On the other hand, the keep arguments posit liklihood of sources plausibly, but I don't think with strong enough evidence for a clear "keep" consensus. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 00:56, 23 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Potential keep -- As I read the article he was a (perhaps the) leading archaeologist of Malta of his time. In view of his dates, we should not expect there to be a great deal about him on the Internet.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:48, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
