Non-notable person, self-promotion. Per WP:BIO and WP:NOT. Dahn 13:05, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Actually there are numerous Google hits but they mostly seem to be in Italian or French, and I speak neither. Anyone with some ability at Romance languages who could check the notability of this guy please? Pedro | Chat  13:24, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment They are actually in Romanian (my and his native language). Mr. Rădulescu is one of the (many) contributors to Jurnalul Naţional, a newspaper which has internet versions of all its articles. As far as I can tell, virtually all of those links point to articles he had signed, made available in this way. Writing many articles does not make one notable. There are also links which indicate that he has directed plays etc., but they do not provide basic material such as critical assessments or third-party biographic data. The remaining links appear to be blogs and the like. Dahn 13:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Addition - my unrestricted google search gives 640 results in all, with and without diacritics. Keeping in mind that "Rădulescu" is a quite common name in Romania, a lot of those overlap mentions of various people (for example, one hit I get on the 6th page mentions the literary critic Pompiliu Eliade and the Greek director Kostas Assimakopoulos). Restricted gives 220 hits without diacritics and 7 with - their nature is discussed above, and there is notable overlap. Dahn 13:43, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - clear self-promotion, no references, user has almost no other contributions. Biruitorul 22:21, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
