Although the article was created in 2007, it appears that WP:BLPNOTE fails. None has any intention to improve it. 115ash →(☏) 08:33, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: There are numerous transliteration issues, as well as language problems, in the article. However, the director is an award-winning director. "Cavafy" (sic) is better known in English as "Kavafis" (1996). The fact that these issues have been known for years and that no one has lifted a broom is a bad sign.

 * Keep One of the most prestigious Greek directors, whose films pick up lots of awards and big audiences in the country (note: "prestigious" is not the same as "good"). Most sources are going to be in Greek, but here's some in English and French: Cavafy, El Greco, God Loves Caviar (aka The Pirate) Article obviously needs a lot of tidying up, though some of the first paragraph isn't terrible.
