This person does not pass notability. In addition, there seems to be a conflict of interest. Sulmues ^(talk) 20:48, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Found this: Elina Duni prezanton "Bareshën" në Evropë But unless we have input from Albanian-Wikipedians, willing to research Albanian sources and discuss possible notability of his work asan actor in such as Treni niset më shtatë pa pesë, Gurët e shtëpisë sime, and Ne cdo stine, and of his directorial work in such as Kronikë e atyre netëve [1] this one may be doomed due to WP:UNKNOWNHERE.

Reply to Comment: I really appreciate your research and please understand that I am a big fan of the Albanian movies. Unfortunately he was a minor actor and a minor movie director or theater director. I have seen his performances in some secondary roles only. He is clearly not notable in the Albanian movie environment, as a matter of fact he isn't a Merited Artist of Albania, or People's Artist of Albania, which were the notability-help articles that I started last year. The problem is that there are no sources for now and I doubt that there will be for a long time. I have had a very hard time finding sources for the greatest Albanian movie director of the 20th century, Dhimiter Anagnosti. Spiro Duni would be at a very low in the ranking of the Albanian movie directors, let alone actors' rankings.

Agreed... sourcing is a grave concern, and in its lack, it fails en.Wikipedia's WP:BIO. Perhaps the article might be better off on the Albanian Wikipedia. Is there one? Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 23:07, 21 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is one indeed [2]. The Albanian wikipedia is actually extremely poor, but it includes Duni. --Sulmues ^(talk) 02:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
