Remus Pricopie

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An impressive résumé, to be sure, but the subject fails all relevant notability criteria.


 * He doesn't meet WP:POLITICIAN. He was never elected to any position, and at the Education Ministry, he was a mere State Secretary, not a Minister &mdash; one of two or perhaps four people holding the position simultaneously. (For precisely how he fit into the ministry's structure, click "Descarcă" here; he was a "secretar de stat".) A few Romanian state secretaries are notable due to press coverage/academic or legal work, such as this guy, but as a general rule, they tend not to be notable, unlike ministers.


 * As far as I can tell, he doesn't meet any of the WP:PROF criteria. If someone wants to correct me on this, fine, but let's make claims of academic notability from reliable sources, not an unreferenced CV.


 * I don't see him meeting the general biographical requirements either. What I find most telling is that in the main Romanian newspapers, he receives scant coverage, and when he was covered, it was usually just a quote he gave to the press here and there, nothing substantial or about him; nothing that could be used to write an actual article, which this is not. - Biruitorul Talk 01:23, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
