Paolo Zanotti (author)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Improperly sourced biography of a writer, whose strongest claim of notability per WP:AUTHOR is that he and his work existed. The only references cited here at all are the Google Books directory profiles of four of his books -- but since nearly every book that exists at all is going to have one of those, they do not count as evidence of notability in and of themselves any more than having a sales profile on amazon.com would. There's no reliable source coverage about him in media present to support any of the biographical content at all, but that's the kind of sourcing we would need to see before we could keep this.

 * Delete: My searches are finding some blog posts etc. and a couple of passing name checks in books but nothing that can sustain an article as a reliable source. Happy to reconsider if Zazzysa locates anything as mentioned above, but as it stands this fails WP:AUTHOR. AllyD (talk) 07:54, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
