Notability missing. Being a journalist, his job is to write some news articles, what about some notable work that make this Bio suitable for WP. Self Promo article. Educationtemple (talk) 20:47, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - I think he may be notable based on these sources:.   and several others that at least mention him. Unfortunately, I am not able to evaluate the reliability of any of these sources.- MrX 21:33, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment He is an Italian journalist, has written 8 books (which do not seem to have been translated, but they are all about current Italian politics and economics), and appears regularly on TV. However, it's hard to say how that translates to @en WP. The @it WP article is almost entired sourced from his own blog - their policies seem different to ours. I went through 2 major Italian newspapers and found only mentions (of his appearances on TV). I did not locate substantial sources about him. LaMona (talk) 00:11, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep He's a controversial journalist, author of many books. He worked for RAI (in particular Report (Italian news television show): he abandoned the show after a famous dispute which had legal consequences) and for major Italian newspapers. He appeared as a main guest in some primetime political talk shows too.--Shivanarayana (talk) 15:28, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
