Virgil Ianţu[edit]

Article about a television personality, of course by a single-purpose account, who doesn't appear that notable based on the sources provided:

I hope you'll forgive me for not dwelling on the pages from virgiliantu.ro, the YouTube videos or his LinkedIn profile.
A biography from his employer
Passing mention on some kind of PR page
A blog post
A contract (!)
Passing mention in some kind of blog post about an environmental event
Birthday wishes from a semi-scandal rag
Some video
Something that doesn't even mention him
Some movie theater's gossip blog
An interview with a women's tabloid
Interview with another middlebrow press organ
Interview with some guy
Article about his brother, a TV repairman
A couple more interviews

To be sure, not all the above should be summarily discarded; no one, for instance, would say Adevărul is not a serious source. However, the article as it exists appears to be a case of a lot of padding (in the form of invalid "sources") being added in order to make the subject appear more notable than he in fact is. As for the awards he's reportedly garnered, sourcing on those is weak, and we have no indication of their possible significance. - Biruitorul ^Talk 15:56, 13 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete—block evasion by sockpuppet of User:Beleiutz. Like his other contributions, this one is a poorly sourced, copyright-infringing puff piece. —Psychonaut (talk) 21:09, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
