Unsourced essay that doesn't accurately explain the importance of the subject. Would take a complete rewrite to fix this. Falkirks 14:00, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep: needs sources, and appears to be an imperfect translation of the long-established Italian Wikipedia article (with section headings added and the order of some of the text juggled), but appears to be notable.  Pam  D  19:52, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep, the article was nominated for deletion 25 minutes after its creation and 15 minutes after the last edit by its creator. The subject is clearly notable and easily sourcable, as shown by the same sources later added to the article. It would be more useful trying to explain to the editor which are the differences between Italian Wikipedia and English Wikipedia than starting a deletion discussion.

 * Strong keep - The article was nominated for deletion much too soon, as Cavarrone points out, and after sufficient editing is clearly notable. ö   Brambleberry   of   RiverClan  23:02, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep The article prose and references definitely need work (I did some, as have others, but there is a lot to be done), but the individual himself appers sufficiently notable. It would be good to get WP:RS for honours etc. but that is symptomatic of his lifespan preceding online resources. AllyD (talk) 07:17, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. An article, not an essay, and being poorly written is not a criterion for deletion. Apart from anything else, he was a Grand Officer of the Order of the Crown of Italy, the second-highest grade of that order, which I think definitely qualifies as "a well-known and significant award or honor" per WP:ANYBIO. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:06, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Absolutely no reason to delete this.--Ipigott (talk) 15:06, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
