Livia Nichifor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No evidence of any notability for this Romanian doctor. She existed and was a director of a children's home in Romania and was awarded a medal. Nothing here suggests any notability and the refs are simply about her existence, her medal and her slightly better known son. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 08:34, 23 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete - as noted, no sourced evidence suggests this individual was anything but a fairly ordinary doctor. The communist regime handed out hundreds of medals each year, and the one she won was decidedly minor. I especially call attention to the obituary in Viața Medicală, a seemingly independent reference: that text is basically lifted from the now-deleted ro.wiki article, making it a veritable Russian doll of self-publication.
 * I'd also like to point out that this was not only deleted on ro.wiki earlier this month, but that User:Al Balint (note that Dr. Nichifor's maiden name was Balint) admitted to being none other than the subject's son, Șerban Nichifor. Moreover, during that discussion, he created no fewer than six sockpuppets: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
 * Finally, let me note that back in 2012, Mr. Nichifor was editing as Snichifor and as Serbannichifor, making this at least his third account here; note also this strangeness.
 * Anyway, in conclusion, WP:NOTAMEMORIAL applies, and let's hope we have a less contentious and sockpuppet-filled discussion than on ro.wiki. - Biruitorul Talk 04:31, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I am unable to find any published sources about the subject, apart from the obituary in Viata Medicala. This link is to the real obituary, not the fake one uploaded to Scribd.com. They are somewhat different. Even so, this is simply not enough. There are no other aspects to her biography in the WP article or the obit which indicate that subject comes anywhere near to passing either WP:ANYBIO or WP:PROF. The entire article is referenced to primary sources apart from the obit. This is simply not acceptable. She died quite recently (April 2017). Had she been a figure of national importance, there would have been something in the mainstream Romanian press. I can't find anything. Voceditenore (talk) 15:04, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
