 * Keep Nick Evangelista, Delete Justin Evangelista. I agree: The father is controversial in fencing circles, the son is unknown. jsavit
 * Keep Nick Evangelista, Delete Justin Evangelista. The father seems notable on the basis of the four books published by non-vanity publishers and currently available on amazon. He has an apparently significant fan base based on the quantity and knowlegability of user reviews, as well as quotes from independant publication book reviews on two of the listings (see, , , and . Many of the reviewers seem very familiar with the author, and one of the reviews of "The art and science of fencing" states "Evangelista's book is likely to be the only book on sport fencing available at your local book store." It seems to have first been published in 1996 by a small publisher in indianapolis but the edition available on Amazon is a 1999 edition by McGraw Hill, from which I infer the original edition must have been fairly successful. He is (was?) also the publisher of a fencing magazine that has been in print for a decade (though last issue was spring 2006). Obviously the article needs work and better references but he seems legitimately notable in the fencing world. His son seems to have followed in his dad's footsteps and done little I could find that was of note. -RustavoTalk/Contribs 04:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep father Nick, delete son Justin. Rustavo beat me to it – the father is published, publishes(ed?) a magazine, and certainly seems notable to fencers, but I have doubts about the son. Krakatoa  Katie  08:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
