Traian Vasai

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

There's no evidence this man is "notable", as claimed. The only non-trivial mention I could find is an interview in an obscure Montreal magazine, but notable artists usually have a greater Internet presence. Moreover, Romania ceased being Communist in 1989, and the article's creator is now banned, which is further reason to doubt the claims of notability being made.

 * Delete. I found one passing mention that I added to the article, and one other passing mention that I can't get the text for. Nothing more--which suggests that nominator is correct on the point of notability. Drmies (talk) 18:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems the article was part of a largely suppressed effort to write spammy stubs on all sort of Romanian non-entities, in order to promote the Romanian Canadian community on some symbolic level. Plus, I looked over the link provided by the nominator above as the only outside source to discuss Vasai (it is not an interview, btw, but more of a promotional piece). Here's its conclusion, in the French original: "Il est bien dommage que Traian Vasai ne soit pas connu dans le milieu artistique de Montréal." My translation: "It is indeed a shame that Traian Vasai still isn't known to the Montreal artistic milieu." And, heh, that's his most important attribute...
