The only verifiable facts from the references are that Varkonyi is a genealogist who has written a book. Most of the references are links to the front pages of websites which make no reference to him. None of the claims amount to notability. Cabayi (talk) 13:35, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Since the discussion is drawing in new editors from the Hungarian wiki I'll be a bit more explicit & link to the policies - this biography of a living person does not show notability under either the general notability guidance or the guidance for biographies.

 * Keep - "Verifiable facts" from the references are: full book texts (ref. 7, 10, 14, 17); full article texts (ref. 12, 13, 16); article abstract (ref. 9). Works: 4 books, 5 historical novel, 6 genealogy articles. Is this enough for you? Gondai (talk) 15:49, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * , no. We need reliable, verifiable, independent sources about the subject, not by the subject. Cabayi (talk) 17:16, 23 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete . when I run this name it through a news archive search, a find a  Tibor Várkonyi who was a journalist who was in Hanoi in 1967 and was  quoted in an AP story.  (before our Tibor was born,) and a Tibor Várkonyi cited by BBC monitoring (a service where the BBD posts thumbnail summaries of the day's news in Hungarian,) in 2012 in it's entirety "Commentary by Tibor Varkonyi says Fidesz is afraid of election defeat despite poll figures, wants to secure victory before elections with preliminary voter registration."   this is probably the same citation User:DBigXray I have no idea whether this is our boy Tibor.  But even if is, this article fails WP:GNG.  E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:15, 31 August 2018 (UTC)
