 * Keep and cleanup. The reasons given above aren't reasons to delete the page (certainly, the fact that the page isn't worked on frequently isn't a good reason). JCO312 15:20, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Unfortunately, this article appears to be mostly a cut-and-paste from here - either that or the other way around. He does, however, have several credits at IMDb, a mention on OpenDemocracy.net, and a total of 1,340 Google hits - and that's just in English. The copyvio needs to go, but the topic is definitely notable. Remove copyvio, rewrite and keep . Tony Fox (arf!) 21:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment I've added a 1960s biographical sketch and a 2005 commemorative stamp. That's good enough for WP:RS. Mereda 11:22, 31 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep Definitely expand the article, but if he has his own stamp, then I would say he is notable. MetsFan76 12:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
