This is an unreferenced BLP. The subject appears to be a book binder, which isn't particularly notable. The notability claims come from winning an award from the Union of Greek Writers, which only gets slightly more google hits than the subject. The other award is second place in an unnamed contest based in Johannesburg. While this name does generate some google hits, several of those are for different people with the same name.

 * Keep. He's not just a book binder. He's an author and a poet who has written a number of books. Don't know how significant his achievements are but certainly more notable than "book binder". Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 09:14, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. Notability neither asserted nor demonstrated.  Nothing here shows that this qualifies per WP:BK. Qworty (talk) 23:42, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Delete, assertions of notability but insufficient sourcing available, just wiki mirrors, perhaps the WP:WikiProject Greece can help. Jezhotwells (talk) 02:04, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Have added a source reference which appears to be verbatim to the wikipedia article but in the Greek language. Not sure if it is the original source or if the content has been taken from Wikipedia. One thing that the reference does have going for it is a photograph of the author which Wikipedia does not have. Also there is a note at the bottom of the article that indicates that whoever created the page made an effort to do research to put the article together. As I said before I have no idea if they were the original researcher or if they have used the content available on Wikipedia. I also note that three of the books that he has authored are about ancient history including the "Ancient Inhabitants of Halkida", "Founders of the Ancient Settlements of the Evoians" and "History of the Evoian Byzantine Monks". That kind of makes him a historian too. Maybe an amateur historian but he has written three books that can only be classified as history books. He has also written a tourist guide about history. He seems to be an expert on the history of that region. Nipsonanomhmata (talk) 09:07, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Reluctant delete: he does not appear to meet notability guidelines, even in Greek Google results, most hits on his name refer to unrelated people. As an amateur historian he is of some local importance, but IMO not enough for the English WP at least. Constantine  ✍  10:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
