Declined speedy; assertion of fame is there but subject does not appear to meet WP:BIO for inclusion in the encyclopedia. Searches do not reveal any hits, although I understand spelling may be an issue. If notability can be established, I would happily withdraw the nomination. (I did try several ways and came up with nothing.)  Frank  |  talk  14:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

• Delete - in fact, I'd have counted this as an A7 speedy. The only assertion of notability, that he is "famous for his creative ideas and skills" is such a vague generalisation it's not even worth considering. The fact he is described as an "architect, designer, cinemetographer, writer and also painter" makes me strongly suspect most or all of these things are spare-time hobbies.

  I nearly did just that, but there's no harm in having an actual discussion for a few days. Lots of times these articles are recreated and speedied, wasting additional time and causing hard feelings; if we have a community discussion, we can get the matter decided. There may still be hard feelings, but at least there's consensus to point to. And sometimes the article is rescued, and sometimes surprises happen as well. (I was "sure" of what the outcome of that AfD would be.)  Frank  |  talk  14:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

• Delete no proof of notability to back up claims Letsdrinktea (talk) 17:40, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
• Delete Can't find any relevant sources, and frankly, even if sources were found to back up the claims in the stub, the subject would fail WP:BIO. Abecedare (talk) 08:14, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
