An entirely unsourced BLP, for one. For another, no real claim to notability under WP:PROF, but even if he has such a claim, it needs to be sourced. I could find no evidence of his notability myself, as expressed in independent sources. Biruitorul Talk 14:01, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment. With six published books listed, my default assumption would be that he's notable, but I'm not going to !vote to keep it unless/until we have sources. Additionally, he seems to be a victim of the American Biographical Institute vanity scammers — I removed some of their cruft from the article — which calls into question the trustworthiness of what's left. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:13, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete The number of books he published is actually pretty much the one required in Romania for one to hold an academic seat. No proper coverage in outside, third-party, sources is discernible. Dahn (talk) 12:59, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:RS and WP:PROF. I was unable to find any independent source in web searches to verify contents of the article. American Biographical Institute is a paid-inclusion vanity directory; awards granted by them aren't notable. Most of the article is word-for-word from the linked 'personal website' so WP:COI may be an issue. Unable to find the name listed in the Babeș-Bolyai University philosophy journal at http://jsri.ro/ojs/index.php/jsri or other links to faculty (although translation software may be responsible).
