COI bio of minor businessman. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  05:13, 15 December 2010 (UTC )
 * Keep and improve. Nominator, please define the conflict of interest of a biography (not a BLP) of an Italian businessman who died in 1968?  As for him being a "minor" businessman, his companies had 13,000 employees.  Is that really minor? The article was clearly written by someone whose English skills are not excellent.  It seems to me that the normal editing pricess is called for here, not deletion. Cullen328 (talk) 06:01, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * response - the COI comes from the fact that the article was created by User:Andreazanussi. The firm may be notable, but there's no evidence offered that the founder was notable. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:11, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment TIME magazine profiled him on June 28, 1968 following his death in a plane crash in Spain. A reference in Italian is furnished 9 lines into the article.  An experienced Italian speaking editor could almost certainly provide other references.  The man was notable, in my opinion, and the article should be improved rather than deleted.
