Jovo Stanisavljevic Caruga
Anyone heard of this guy? Not enough information in the article to establish notability. Radiant! 10:46, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, Google only turns up a few hits which hint at a possible copyvio and evidence this is some sort of personal/family vanity. Wyss 17:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This was hard to suss out. I found a few Google hits in Slavic when searching for "Slavonski Robin Hud" which include the name Jovo Stanisavljevi&#263; &#268;aruga(they didn't show up for Caruga, because of the missing accents). I then Googled the proper spelling with accents and got substantially more hits (71). That's not a whole lot, but I'd imagine there just aren't many Slavic folk resources online. Therefore, I'm suggesting we keep it unless someone who knows Slavic folklore says the person isn't notable. HyperZonk 17:56, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)
 * Tentative Keep, with reservations, after Googling the accented spelling (thanks to HyperZonk) showed almost all of those hits are Wikipedia mirrors. Most are for a Serbian outlaw, and a few are for a Serbian athlete.  If this is verified as not a wikipropagated hoax (for the latter's self-promotion or roasting) but a longlasting and widespread "Slavic Robin Hood" legend, then I think it's an encyclopedic topic for the English WP despite the fact that little seems to be online.

 * Delete, fails to establish notability, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 01:14, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, probably notable enough. He has been on List of Serbs for some time, under a slightly different name (now fixed). sjorford &rarr;&bull;&larr; 12:39, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, spurious notability. JamesBurns 06:48, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
