• Delete as lacking in-depth coverage in reliable, independent third-party sources. Should such sources be integrated into the article, feel free to leave a note on my talk page and I'll take another look. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:12, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Ahem--no reliable sources? See this, for crying out loud. Just because stuff isn't always available online and in English doesn't mean it should be disregarded. Has anyone noticed that the National Operetta Theatre in Bucharest is named for him? This is such an obvious case of keep... Drmies (talk) 15:28, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've left a note at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Romania#Companies_and_Bucharest. Someone needs to get a double DYK out of this. Drmies (talk) 15:31, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Obvious keep. Per Drmies. There are piles of references via Google books (on Dacian himself, not just references to the National Operetta Theatre). PЄTЄRS J V ►TALK 15:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - online sources are a bit scanty, but this, this, this and this (along with having the country's premier operetta named after him) clearly establish his notability. - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:50, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per new sources and new interlink link. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:07, 16 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
