Ludovik Kendi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All the usual alarm bells are set off here. Started by single-purpose account LudovikKendi (cough, cough) and seeming sockpuppet Shoegal? Check. Glossy self-submitted photos and publicist's tone? Check. "Sourcing" that ranges from cruft to directory entries to personal websites to advertisements to PR materials to passing mentions in government-issued bulletins? It's all there. "Significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject"? Not so much. - Biruitorul Talk 14:04, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete? Check! Per excellent analysis of Biruitorul. --Randykitty (talk) 14:10, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. None of the sources establish notability under WP:NM. Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 14:35, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete When I saw this title in the AfD list, my initial thought was 'hoax!', based on the similarity to the late British broadcaster Ludovic Kennedy. I've not come across Ludovik as a Romanian name, but it seems he was born 'Lajos', which is Hungarian. As to notability, I think not. Performing under the direction of a notable conductor (Simon Rattle) is not notable unless perhaps you were one of the soloists in a big work. Being an 'ensemble member' is equivalent to being in the chorus line or corps de ballet. I get the feeling this is a promo piece by the subject to try to hasten the day when his notability will come. It probably will - he's done some roles like Tonio already. He just needs that break that even the talented need. Peridon (talk) 20:50, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Biruitorul did a good explanation there. I searched for him, really nothing came up (Besides his own website and a couple other things). ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 21:59, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete due to a lack of significant coverage from reliable third parties. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:06, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - if he becomes more notable in the future, reliable sources will arise and there won't be a need for a COI editor to recreate the page. DaltonCastle (talk) 23:17, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
