I just had to gut this article due to a copyright violation of http://www.arapacisinitiative.org/en/il-consiglio/8-membro-del-consiglio/89-pietro-kuciukian. Now, doing a Google search, I can't really find any noteworthy third-party coverage, or anything else to satisfy the relatively high bar that WP:CREATIVE sets. — PinkAmpers &^{(Je vous invite à me parler)} 18:35, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I found a lot on him. I mere google search yields dozens if not hundreds of results. He is a prolific writer and has written many books. I believe that alone stands for nobility. Also, Italian sources seem to talk a lot about him. See:

There's also a Virtual International Authority File on him ([5])

However the article does need MAJOR improvement. I'll take up that task soon. Proudbolsahye (talk) 07:58, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Update I did a massive improvement of the article. Please take it under consideration when voting. Thanks everyone! Proudbolsahye (talk) 08:45, 26 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Proudbolsahye's update. --Երևանցի ^talk 00:11, 27 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There is a VIAF entry for anyone who has every published anything a library cataloged. It's no more a justification for notability than having an ISBN is notability for a book. BTW, 5 of the 8 references in the VIAF come from Wikipedia--they're marked "Test"-- I didn;t know they were testing adding our articles as authority, but I see some problems of circularity, because we have ion the past accepted their entries as evidence for form of names.

Keep The references are sufficient. As usual for an author of creative works in another language, WorldCat shows few holdings, but that's irrelevant. 'DGG (at NYPL) (talk) 20:07, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
