Deletion of Maria Filotti

Comment: for an actress dead over 50 years, it's telling that the http://www.adevarul.ro/actualitate/Filotti-Maria-Va-amintiti-mai_0_113388693.html press is http://www.evz.ro/detalii/stiri/maria-filotti-teatru-in-sarbatoare-la-braila-870123.html still writing articles about http://www.9am.ro/stiri-revista-presei/2007-11-24/maria-filotti-actrita-nuantelor.html her life. I propose closing this |pointy nomination: sure, the nominator is miffed that we've eliminated non-notable Filottis from the encyclopedia, like Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Victor_Filotti|Victor Filotti and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Liviu_Filotti|Liviu Filotti, but Maria is one of the few whose notability is immediately obvious, and we need not spend any more time on this

Comment: This is a case of  from a vexed user. He himself says: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FMaria_Filotti&action=historysubmit&diff=417889166&oldid=417867256 "I am perfectly aware that subject is notable." Just because the article is of poor quality (I think Afil, as its creator, may know why), there is nothing to make it deletable, unlike most of the many other Filotti etc. articles Afil has also graced wikipedia with. See the most recent of them on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Romania

Comment: subject passes . But I don't agree with most comments posted here. The article itself could not be considered encyclopedic in its present situation. What we need to do is trying to find a Wikipedian who speaks both English and Romanian and who could maybe translate the impressing http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_Filotti article about this actress in Romanian. It could be done via one of the projects here, described in

Comment: This AfD nomination is a perfect example of why we have a procedure that is supposed to be followed '''before''' nominating an article for deletion.  This simple procedure can be found at  Point #4.  It reads, "Before nominating due to sourcing or notability concerns, make a good-faith attempt to confirm that such sources don't exist."  I had never heard of Maria Filotti before running across this AfD.  I entered her name into Google Books, and 30 seconds later, I knew for sure that she was notable.  Just take a look at the mentions in the very first book that comes up: http://books.google.com/books?id=tZ84AAAAIAAJ&q=%22Maria+Filotti%22&dq=%22Maria+Filotti%22&hl=en&ei=i551TYSaF4O2sAOc8JzTBA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA An Abridged history of Romanian theatre, by Simion Alterescu which describes her as among the "prestigious actors of the great realistic school" and called her the "directress" of a theater "that made an important contribution to transmitting the experience from one generation to the next."  If the nominator had done what I had done, then that editor could simply have added that source to the article, and several others readily available, and saved us all some time and trouble
