The result was keep. . Two !votes for keep, with only the nominator voting for deletion. As SatuSuro indicates, having coverage (including a profile written about someone) is indicative of them passing the General Notability Guide (non-admin closure) Crisco 1492 (talk) 12:41, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

fails WP:BIO. simply being the first Italian to settle in South Australia does not grant automatic notability. at best this fact is covered in 3 books [1]. but we really do not know anything else about him. LibStar (talk) 06:27, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment my my, afd really has gone to some depths if indeed fails WP:BIO. simply being the first Italian to settle in South Australia does not grant automatic notability. - that comment in itself should require a response - however WP:AGF and WP:Civility require that I say no further.

'Keep - the very reason for afd as provided by the nominator should in fact be the retention of the article - however slight or flimsy the record! - Satu Suro 12:04, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it does not grant automatic notability. Similarly does the first Fijian in South Australia grant automatic notability? My my. LibStar (talk) 12:42, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep coverage in two books published 5 years apart, bust and statue of the person in SA show he's recognised character in the History of SA. So while the being the first itself may not engender notability, being written about and having public sculptures made of does. Gnan garra 13:12, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
