Umberto Calvello

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I am the creator of this article. As I learned more about the subject, I realized that, by the Aerial victory standards of World War I, Umberto Calvello lacked notability. I am now requesting deletion. Georgejdorner (talk) 19:15, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Well this is certainly an interesting AfD-- someone nominating their own article! I had some suspicions that he might be notable based on the fact that his infobox says he was awarded two silver and one bronze award for valor (though this was unsourced).  I checked around to see if I could find any contrary evidence pointing to the individual's notability as a fighter pilot.  Calvello was a Sottotenente di Vascello, which is a position just below Lieutenant, so that doesn't qualify him under WP:SOLDIER #3,4, or 6.  This Italian page suggests that some of the aces involved in that war were awarded Silver and Gold medals for military valor, but doesn't indicate who they were awarded to.  However, this book about Italian aces seems to confirm that he was awarded two Silver medals for valor by the Italian military, and this seems to fulfill WP:SOLDIER #2.  The individual is further given some biographical coverage in this book in addition to the significant coverage in the Italian aces book, which would also support the general notability guideline.  I, Jethrobot  drop me a line (note: not a bot!) 20:10, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep One of the Italian aces of World War I. The article can be expanded.User:Lucifero4


 * Keep Fighter aces are inherently notable; also per I, Jethrobot. --Sp33dyphil ©hatontributions 04:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Note It was the lack of details for his fifth victory, plus the arbitrary way in which Italian aerial victories were adjudged after World War I, that made me doubt his acedom and thus led to my listing this article for deletion.Georgejdorner (talk) 18:27, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
