I don't really see much, if any, indication of notability. The awards do not appear notable themselves. The two links in Croatian might show some notability, thus AFD instead of A7 CSD. TexasAndroid (talk) 01:39, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The fact that the additional material is not in English shouldn't be an argument that the subject isn't notable - not everything revolves around the English-speaking world. I think his work by itself proof of his importance. Besides, he was a director of a professional theatre. I added a source for both of these facts (albeit not in English), hope this is enough. --Yerpo (talk) 12:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. No, the world doesn't revolve around English, but the English Wikipedia does. It's not really realistic to expect English speakers to assume that foreign language sources say what you claim they do.Niteshift36 (talk) 16:05, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that even without the knowledge of language you can easily determine that the person in question is the central subject of coverage in references provided. Automatic translation tools are also available. The publishers of those references can themselves be easily verified - SiGledal, Vjesnik, and Slobodna Dalmacija. --Yerpo (talk) 06:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete if subkect is notable there should be more then one reference to source him as such. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 14:17, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: the links provided at the bottom are interviews in major Croatian newspapers, so those are more references. There are also passing references to his function as a theatre director in major Slovene newspapers (such as Večer and Dnevnik), but only the one I provided explains the fact fully. --Yerpo (talk) 15:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would swith my vote if more sources can name him as notable. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I added his entry in the Slovene National film fund database, but to be honest, I think you're not being reasonable anymore. Three independent and reliable references are more than enough to comply with WP:NOTABLE guidelines. --Yerpo (talk) 06:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Commentthere are many further references like: Cankar Hall, Dnevnik, Vest, Radio 101, DokMa, European capital of Culture, Gorenjski glas, Kultura hr, Teatar hr, ITI and others. Of course most in foreign languages ... —Preceding unsigned comment added by SparkleShark (talk • contribs) 08:24, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Nothing in policy or guidelines says that sources have to be available to everyone, whether for reasons of physical access (e.g. if they are from books or journals only avaliable in libraries in one country) or of language. Sources have been provided for this article, and they are verifiable. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:27, 10 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Non English sources are fine. - Richfife (talk) 04:21, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
