Stefano Di Cagno

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by creator, a user with no other contributions. This article does not establish the notability of the subject. the onlyt sources are self-published or books by the subject - we do not say "X is notable as the author of book Y, source, book Y exists", which is essentially what this article does.

The only real attempt to assert notability is his role as an assistant to someone else who won a deep dive record. Notability is not inherited. Guy (Help!) 14:16, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Guy, sorry but I'm not so able in use Wikipedia. I wrote first this page on the author and then, when you proposed the deletion 'couse no references, I watched the Wiki rules, where f.ex. Google's books research page is considered has one. So I put it on. The author was awarded for his novels by the president of "Premio Letterario E. Casalini", mr. F. Ferraro, who is also the President of the Italian Fair of books... and I put a link on Premio Casalini on a government website, the Municipality of Piombino. So, in fact, I don't know what you mean exactly. Stefano Di Cagno is one of the most important diver in Italy, may be the Most one, author of books, founder of a magazine, explorer, and hardly engaged in social and civil right. Help me, because I don't understand... Happy new year, anyway ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ammi1929 (talk • contribs) 16:52, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Ciao from Italy. My opinion is that on Wikipedia there are a lot of people there are not notable at all, and they still are here. This author is not only the best known writer of diving novels in Italy, but also one of the best sport and extreme diver in the world. You think at be "assistant to someone else" is a joke...? Yes, may be in your digital world: the "assistance" was done on the maximum deep of the recordwoman, and was a record itself: Italian and European deepest male dive!!! Has author, he is in the catalogue of the Italian National Biblioteque in Roma, and in those of the Central National Biblioteque of Florence (http://www.bncrm.librari.beniculturali.it/) (http://www.bncf.firenze.sbn.it/) His books are sold everywhere, from Amazon to the biggest Italian bookshops like Feltrinelli or Mondadori, and not only for one edition, but for a second in few year has everybody can mark with the ISBN reference numbers: Incubi decompressivi first edition ISBN 88-902358-1-0, sec. ed 978-88-908646-2-9 and Morire quassotto... first edition (???) second edition 978-88-908646-0-5 This is not a blog author or likesome... So, I don't understand this deletion request and I say NO! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.160.101.66 (talk) 21:56, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete I searched *.it and found one article online that mentions Di Cagno .. the evidence doesn't suggest notability for Wikipedia. We need book reviews and newspaper and magazine articles about Di Cagno. Not by Cagno, but about Cagno. --  GreenC  05:34, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
