Nicola Squitti

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Removed Prod with reasoning that I should find the sources however, its up the the creator to prove the notability not me. The article claims he was an Italian senator. However, none of the sources provided show that this is the person that they are taking about and a google search shows no evidence that this is actually the Senator Squitti. And infact the article seems to be more about something his father (who has twice fallen to afd) did than he did. Djsasso (talk) 02:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I believe the article does contain enough verifiable references to establish that he is a “Italian Senator/Baron” .  Given that fact, yes notability is established.  However, with regards to the Scranton, PA cite, I agree there is no way to connect the two, other than educated assumptions.  Man you picked a tough one here.  Lets go back and debate Zach :-) ShoesssS Talk 03:26, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, wouldn't have stumbled into it if the author hadn't recently recreated a few articles that were previously killed by afd. The Zach afd has actually been closed already. ;) -Djsasso (talk) 03:30, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Senator Squitti was a former legislator of Italy and named senator by the king for his service in diplomatic service I think that is a good idea to have a wikipedia article for him.(User talk:Lucifero4
 * Keep Even when reduced to the actual information about the Senator, its enough to show he's notable as a stub. American senators are notable, and that goes for the members of all other legislatures as well. I suggested  when I deprodded it that the thing to do is to look for Italian sources--  given the age, probably in print. DGG (talk) 01:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. A Google Books search finds several sources that confirm that the subject was ambassador to Montenegro and to Serbia, and this one confirms that he was a senator, passing WP:POLITICIAN. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:POLITICIAN. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 01:15, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
