Notability: While there are references they are all in Italian yet the Italian WP doesn't have an article on this person. Doesn't seem significant outside Italy, and not even in Italy. RJFJR (talk) 16:50, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, the parallels with Italian Wikipedia does not affect this discussion, Italian Wikipedia has different users, different guidelines and different notability rules, ie there it does not exist WP:GNG that instead is fundamental in English Wikipedia, and the subject appears to pass this guideline. Specifically, looking at first reference, in addition to being "significant coverage in a realiable source" (as well as the fouth), it documents that after his death a street was named with his name (see also ), sign of some lasting notability. There are still also (verifiable) events dedicated to his memory such as a Magnotta Day. So, keep, per GNG. Cavarrone (talk) 20:25, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep and improve - Meets WP:BASIC per, . Also, per WP:GNG, sources are not required to be in English. Northamerica1000(talk) 07:32, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and speedy close Bad nomination. Notability is not limited to one nation.  If that sort of coverage in English speaking sources would make someone notable, then the same sort of coverage in a different language makes them notable as well.  No article on another Wikipedia is not a valid reason to delete an article either.  The Italian Wikipedia only has 943,354 articles while the English Wikipedia has 4,012,201.  No valid deletion nomination given.   And the subject clearly meets WP:GNG.   D r e a m Focus  10:35, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep: There are a ton of italian newspaper articles about this person stretching over years. e.g., 2001, to just this year ]. The lack of an italian wikipedia article doesn't change anything, e.g., i created Stevo Karapandža the other day. Stevo is a very popular Croatian chef, but hr.wiki doesn't have an article on him, and in fact nothing substantive in English has ever been written about him.  But he's still notable.--Milowent • hasspoken  11:39, 28 July 2012 (UTC)
