There is no evidence whatsoever that this person exists. Neither a GScholar nor a VIAF search provided any results, for that matter. 78.53.128.204 (talk) 19:51, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, this article is the author's sole contribution to Wikipedia, and the Japanese version of the article already seems to have been deleted. --78.53.128.204 (talk) 19:55, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've completed this nomination on behalf of 78.53.128.204, who posted the above at Talk:Francesco Bizzarri. On the merits, I have no opinion - but do note that the fate of the jp.wiki article is not strictly relevant to the fate of this one. My own (admittedly brief) search came up with results similar to the IP's - that is to say, nothing of relevance. But YMMV. UltraExactZZ ^Said~ Did 20:26, 3 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I can't find anything either. I'd be prepared to AGF the offline Italian sources, but without inline citations, they don't actually back up any of the statements in the article. -- 203.171.196.18 (talk) 03:09, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for failure of WP:V and lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. There are publications by F. Bizzarri in Google scholar but they all appear to be different people in unrelated subjects. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:40, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I wouldn't say that there's entirely a WP:V problem, just a web access to it problem -- the strangely titled, "Iconography of Italian Entomologists, with essential biographical data" does exist. It does however seem unlikely that he would pass WP:PROF, and I think some parts of the article (starting with the name...) are suspicious of a hoax. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 07:19, 4 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Cannot find sources to support WP:N. -- 202.124.72.19 (talk) 12:55, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
