Luca A Longobardi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Smells like a promo article for the upcoming film mentioned. No proof of his book having been a "bestseller" anywhere i could find nothing in English despite having been a "best seller" in the UK and USA... Apart from having been mistakenly arrested by the police I can't see him meeting WP:GNG Domdeparis (talk) 16:38, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep : Clearly passed WP:GNG . elaborate news articles about the banker in the top news papers of Italy like La Stampa, Il Secolo XIX makes it pass GNG. Godisthebestone (talk) 18:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Could you provide for the claims of him being a bestselling author? otherwise being wrongfully arrested seems like a case of WP:1E --Domdeparis (talk) 14:42, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Kindly go through the La Stampa article - > | La Stampa Article. Godisthebestone (talk) 17:34, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Other than the elaborate articles in La Stampa and Il Secolo XIX about the banker, there is a deep article in Italia Oggi , News 24 etc. This certainly proves the notability. Godisthebestone (talk) 17:55, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment The article claims that the book was a bestseller on Amazon...I checked and it is ranked N° 324,514...so not really sure if the article is proof of much to be honest...I googled Luca Lombardi and there were pages and pages about a composer and a photographer with the same name but nothing about this chap. I then added in the word Mafia and still nothing...he clearly fails the criterion WP:DEPTH IMHO --Domdeparis (talk) 08:52, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I think you are not being honest here and you are going personal here and I just noted that you tagged one of my other page having greater notability too for deletion. Please study much about wiki notability and go for the tagging ? Wiki is based on News references and when a top news paper says his book is the best seller means it is . Amazon is the biggest online book store in the world and when La Stampa says his book is bestseller in Amazon it means for wiki it is the Bestseller on Amazon. Kindly go and see the wiki page of Bestseller. You can understand in deep. It also means bestseller in stores . So kindly don't go personal and don't tag my pages unnecessarily. I have nothing in personal with you.Godisthebestone (talk) 13:32, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Nothing personal at all but when an editor behaves as in a way that suggests he may be a WP:COI editor it is normal to have a look and see if he has behaved in the same way on other pages, the 2 pages that you have created look remarkably like the work of a PR company but of course I am assuming good faith as per WP:AGF but the other page I tagged looks far from being in line with WP:GNG and as a new page patroler it's normal to tag a page that doesn't meet the criteria when you see one.

 * Delete. One does not get notable by being in the same prison as notable people. Then ame-dropping shows the nature of the article to be promotional, so there's two reasons for deletion; either would be sufficient.  DGG ( talk ) 04:41, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as I concur WP:GNG is not applicable if WP:NOT can in fact be used, and it is, since none of it amounts to meaningful substance, not simply some information and links. SwisterTwister   talk  05:03, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I dont understand why this article becomes promotional. The article states true facts about the person with significant news references. Eeither it be about his banking career, Either his book being a best seller , he marrying Miss Brazil , Arrest by interpol and release , new movie trailer winning best trailer award in film festival. There are these much facts that adds to his notability. All these facts have relevant news reference. So as DGG suggested its not about the arrest alone. So I endorse this article to be live Godisthebestone (talk) 04:27, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Hi there is no proof that his book was a bestseller apart from the fact he wrote it on the cover...marrying someone who was considered a beautiful woman 20 years ago doesn't make you notable...being wrongfully arrested happens to lots of people...a movie trailer is just a movie a trailer and there is no mention of awards in the article. The press articles that you have provided links to are almost identical with almost no rewriting of the PR companies text at all. "Lastampa" dated 05 february 2016, "ilsecoloxix" dated  07 february 2016 and the poorly translated "news24hours" 07 may 2016 are identical in structure, this is pure and unadulterated Churnalism.

 * Delete - Nothing to show this person passes WP:GNG. Domdeparis' assessment of the above points is spot on.  Onel 5969  TT me 21:55, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
 * DeleteClearly promotional article about pushy nobody. What the sneck is a hospitality entrepreneur???TheLongTone (talk) 13:59, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
