Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Don Albert - Architect

Please state further reasoning for this deletion request? Don Albert is indeed a well noted architect in Southern Africa - and has been internationally recognized by leading Architecture sources such as Phaidon (which in itself is an encyclopedia of 20th / 21st century architecture and architects) as well as many other architecture journals. I am still puzzled as to why this article keeps coming up for deletion? I have included sources and sent you a notable persons statement - what more should I do?

Below please find the initial notable person statement.

To whom it concerns, please consider the following:

Don Albert represents one of the few architects in South Africa who is practicing in a unique philosophy and represents a new direction for contextual design practice on the continent of Africa. His award winning Millennium Tower is a landmark in the city of Durban and is an iconic backdrop to the city (it is also the world's largest wind wane in the world), and his Highperformancentre and the Barrows factory are reknown in South Africa, and abroad, as ground breaking typologies. These projects have been published in Japan, Italy, China, UK, South Africa and the USA.

His work is comparable in stature and importance to many architects whose work is recorded in wikipedia such as David Chipperfield, UN Studio, David Adjaye and others.

Don Albert was the second youngest architect to be featured in Phaidon World Atlas of Contemporary architecture, and two of his projects were featured in that publication putting the city of Durban onto the architectural map - an accolade in itself.

Don Albert is renown in South Africa as a most notable architect, and has been awarded a contract in India to the value of US$350m which will be made public soon. It is for these reasons that Don Albert is in fact a notable person and should be included into the Wikipedia.

Please remove while I further research and investigate.
Hi,

To further research and investigate all the sources you are requesting will take me a bit of time. Please can I ask that you delete the entry for Don Albert - Architect.

I have taken a copy of the HTML and once I have got all my sources together I will resubmit all of this.

Thank-you for your time and dedication, and for supplying such a great service.
