Has been tagged for 5 and a half years now. The ref is to a dead link which this seems to just be something that was a minor news story from the look of it. Now i will admit that this does sound interesting-but nothing else is written bout it! Wgolf (talk) 05:01, 11 September 2014 (UTC) Withdrawn   Wgolf (talk) 05:25, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment. Nothing notable in English; appears to be significant in Greek maritine industry given the stated size of his financial transactions, probably notable w/ Greek sources.

 * Weak Keep - That there are dead links are not a reason for deletion. On the other hand it seems to have been a minor story. Anyway, what I can find online points to notability. --BabbaQ (talk) 20:31, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep I added 9 sources, mostly from HighBeam. The important points these sources reveal was first that the kidnapping received international attention and second, it extended over considerable time.  It was in the news at least from 2009 to 2012, when at the end of the trial, the Greek prosecutor's home was bombed.  I believe that there is enough in-depth detail to turn this stub into a nice article. I am One of Many (talk) 05:19, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * -Thanks for finding sources, I think the problem was the article seemed to have well too many issues. Wgolf (talk) 05:22, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn-Thanks to for finding refs, this afd saved this article from disappearing IMO, really though thanks and its nice to finally see something has happened. Wgolf (talk) 05:25, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * The sources, in general, just don't show up on Google. I wish all the regular editors here could have access to HighBeam, it would be a lot easier to determine notability for people and events that were in the news 3 or more years ago. I think your nomination was very reasonable since you didn't have access to sources behind paid sites. I am One of Many (talk) 05:31, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
