The result was delete. Very weak arguments for inclusion amounted to "we'll find sources for non-directory information one day". I will userfy this content if anyone wants to work on adding those sources. W.marsh 21:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

This has no references other than IMDB. After searching google I could only find directory and forum listings, and of course this articles content spread over many mirrors. I am proposing that this article had not been shown to meet our notability criteria. Until(1 == 2) 16:31, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, The only English related reference is IMDB, but in Romanian their are other references in his list.. Since he has only filmed in Romanian I would presume most of his reference would be from there. So I say keep, seems like a notable film director in Romania. Callelinea 16:44, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you point me to the source you used to determine his notability? I really did look for such a source. Specifically a source that meets the requirements of Notability (people). Until(1 == 2) 16:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete without prejudice, allowing re-creation if the subject later can be established as notable. I don't actually see any citations in this article to Romanian-language sources. Also, I couldn't find evidence that he has an article in the Romanian Wikipedia (which could have helped establish notability). --Metropolitan90 17:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, of course I agree that the article should be recreated if it later meets inclusion standards. Until(1 == 2) 17:39, 8 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep lack of sources is not a reason for deletion if the material is verifiable, see WP:DEL. With some effort sources can be found. Tag it as laking references and let editors respond to the request. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 03:12, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, one feature film with no notability (e.g. awards, reviews, int'l distribution) does not notability confer. As for re-creation, I found some thin references to a saxophonist of the same name while fruitlessly searching Google News Archive. --Dhartung | Talk 06:22, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Romania-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 16:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, but add refs, clean up, and expand. Bearian 19:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - no notability and self promotion. In response to Callelinea, I'm Romanian, I live in Ro and I'm interested in cinema but no one heard about this guy here. AdamSmithee 13:53, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, no sufficiently reliable sources, he could have created his own IMDB listing. NawlinWiki 13:32, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
