Talk:Valentin Ceaușescu

message: This article ends with "As a result, Valentin Ceauşescu has sued the government" and links to a BBC News article that is eight years old. Can we perhaps update this somewhat with whether Ceauşescu has been successful, or what the current status of the legal case is? --WhoAmI2009 (talk) 22:39, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Valentin was not adopted by Elena anc Nicolae Ceausescu.

replies: text: OK, I saw that.  On the other hand, on the same web site (at link provided just above), it is said that Valentin was adopted.  Clearly, the topic is under debate -- by the way, we need to look more carefully at scholarly sources, relying just on this web site (how reputable is it?) does not seem enough.  Is there a birth certificate for Valentin Ceauşescu that one can consult, and unequivocally decide the issue?  In the meantime, perhaps the best solution is to present both theories (with quotations for both), and let the reader decide (or not decide -- which is also OK -- sometimes one must live with the fact that certain theories cannot be decided with 100% certainty.)

text: A birth certificate would record the names of the (biological) parents, so it would settle the matter, I think.  A declaration by  Valentin Ceauşescu would be important, but not necessarily a completely deciding factor.  The interview in EZ does not quote the conversation ad literam, nor does it reproduce the interview in toto, but simply says:  "Nascut in 1948, fiul cel mare al familiei Ceausescu a mai demontat o legenda care circula, si anume ca ar fi fost adoptat de cuplul dictatorial: “Nu este adevarat”."  How definitive is that?   Turgidson 15:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Adoption infirmed

message: The article says his wife and child were expelled to Canada (when?) but I don't see any citations for that.  I haven't been able to find any references elsewhere.  — Athaenara  ✉  02:22, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

I am not aware of how to find information about this specific Ceausescu family memeber, as all i find are interviews about football, but could we get any update on his ucrrent state?
