Léon-Bernard Giot
The person's article is up for deletion in the French Wikipedia Léon-Bernard Giot, as well as the article for his school École internationale de chant et de respiration École internationale de chant et de respiration. There is little, or no material for this individual in Google, and nothing for "Bernardo Giotto". There are no recordings listed in any of the databases, nor was any information available for any of the awards that he has listed in Englih or in French. He lists no degrees, nor does he list ensembles that he conducts. There are also a great many references to his school and his name in other articles which have nothing to do with the subject which keep popping up in the French version of Wikipedia, as well as a great many articles about little known family members which are also being examined. To be consistent, I'm nominating this article for deletion. Please also see the Article for Deletion entry in the French version of Wikipédia Musikfabrik 15:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete unless evidence of notability is provided. Could somone alert someone on the Dutch wikipedia as well? Falphin 00:44, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Neutral, there are several results in dutch on the web. I'm not really sure of the notability if this is the same person as Professor Léon-Bernard Giot. Falphin 00:48, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone on French wikipedia has alerted someone on Dutch Wikipedia and hopefully, he will respond.  I work in the music business in Europe and no one I know has heard of him.  We'll see what the Dutch have to say about this. This is the same person as "Professor Léon-Bernard Giot", per a re-direct on the French site. Looking at the edit history of the Dutch article, I see that gidonb has made several edits on the Dutch version.  Perhaps he might be able to comment? Musikfabrik 09:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Musikfabrik, the Dutch Wikipedia is not equally strict with notability. From what I can understand LBG is a part-time musician who apparently also gives some lessons. Some of the information comes from a long-time participant at nl.wikipedia who knows him. LBG pointed out on the talk page that the title "professor" is not protected, i.e. he claims anyone can carry it. He uses the name International whatever school to describe his lesson practice. Personally, I do not believe that this is the best way to promote art, but Wikipedia is not a promotional site anyway. He has had second thoughts as well, because in the past he asked to delete the talk page for his Dutch article. It has been archived, with which he is unhappy. The article here is a promotional text, full of exaggerations. It was created, not by himself, after he had placed a request to be included in en.wikipedia. At his website there are some clippings from the local press, mostly about his ideas on better breathing. He suggests that he should become minister of breathing of Belgium (or was it one of its "states"). This suggestion attracted mild interest from the local press. gidonb 10:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
