Definitely vanity page, clearly written by the person himself; makes unsubstantiated claims eg " region's leading font software firm". Have already deleted link to page of New Zealand political party leaders page, this guy clearly isn't one of those. Is not a person of note.10:32, 18 February 2010 (UTC)~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ruatoriapies (talk • contribs)

Comment: I have corrected the attempt to reopen the the original AfD, which closed as keep in 2007, and moved the above comment from there.-gadfium 19:39, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Most of the mainstream media mentions that I can access only have passing mentions of him and/or interview him as an expert. planete-typographie.com however has a lengthy interview with him about his own work. Pcap ping 00:39, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
His fashion magazine Lucire, has some coverage in the NZ press, but only very brief coverage in the Romanian press [1] (the article is about all "glossy" fashion magazines in Romania). Pcap ping 00:55, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, meets WP:GNG with references listed in the article and others e.g. NZ Herald, Stuff.co.nz. Some of the 3rd party articles are only a trivial mention, but others are more in depth. XLerate (talk) 01:32, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The subject is running for mayor of Wellington, as I have added this to the article. The article strikes me as POV, so I've also tagged it regarding neutrality. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 05:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, it was largely edited by the same editor that edited Lucire and Medinge Group, so the WP:COI is rather obvious. Pcap ping 06:38, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I must say I love the accusations of my authoring my own stuff, or at least the frequency of their appearance. Most recently I saw it on a Stuff article that I had not read until several comments had been added concerning me, to find that one commenter accused me of writing the earlier ones. I see the same issue has arisen here on my first visit to Wikipedia in ages. I won’t add any vote, being the subject, though I am not a political party leader and even that deletion I agree with.

- Comment If anyone can be bothered chasing up the offline references, there are a few more for editors’ consideration here. Over to you. Jack Yan (talk) 17:35, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
