Pavel Djidjov[edit]

Does not appear to be notable. Exert (talk) 23:41, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. With four books and a papal homily listed as references in the article how does this "not appear to be notable"? Phil Bridger (talk) 16:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Here at Wikipedia we don't delegate decisions of notability to religious leaders. We have our own standards of notability. Drawn Some (talk) 00:21, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We also have standards of civility here. Someone with four books and a papal homily in the references is notable, period. No need to sneer at some religious authority; the authority that matters here is WP:GNG. Djidjov was beatified in 2002; that alone is probably enough to acquire notability, something that both you and the nominator could have found if you had read all the way through the article. And I know there is no guideline that says that--there doesn't need to be. People who are beatified generate coverage, and so did this one. Drmies (talk) 02:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Keep. I did a quick google search, and though at first it would seem like an issue of WP:ONEVENT, I've noted that he's gone through Beatification, thus making him notable in my mind. -- Nomader ^(Talk) 01:01, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above. JJL (talk) 01:53, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep--a pretty obvious case of a notable person. Books, beatification--that ought to be enough. Perhaps someone wishes to argue that this person's execution was an example of WP:1E? Drmies (talk) 02:42, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Seems to have sources which fit WP:N. --Explodicle (T/C) 16:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
