Marin Bunić[edit]

I've nominated this article for deletion in accordance with the talkpage consensus on the issue [1], and on the grounds that it does not indicate why its subject is important or significant. I've considered speedy deletion, but considering the fact that the article has been on for quite a while and its contents are more than a little disputed, I opted for "standard deletion". The article states that Marin(o) is a "World War II survivor", a person who led some immigrants on their trip to Peru, and "helped establish an immigrant community". I'm sure he's neither alone in that, nor does he appear to have been an "official" or elected leader of some group. He merely appears to have been a more prominent person among the Peruvian Croatian immigrants. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 10:27, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, per above. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 14:24, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no indication of notability. Borderline A7 speedy. AlasdairGreen27 (talk) 08:05, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can I enter my names under several other pseudonyms (all Croats apparently with Anglo-Saxon pseudonyms) and decide to overule the "majority"? I have a real problem with the way a decision will be taken...no that I'm necessarily in favor of keeping the article. Debona.michel (talk) 10:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The best thing you can do is to provide evidence that this person is notable enough. --Ivan Štambuk (talk) 12:51, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course that's subjective. I'm now thinking that deletion is convenient for some because it buries the whole discussion/evidence and sweeps the problem away. Debona.michel (talk) 14:48, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a suggestion, but implying the !votes are made by sock/meatpuppets with a hidden agenda is not assuming good faith. If you feel this article is worth saving, then you need to improve the article and/or explain why the article should be kept. Edward321 (talk) 16:17, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
