No ENGLISH references, terrible grammar. Beeshoney (talk) 09:36, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - although there are no inline citations, there is evidence of notability in the external links provided (e.g BBC article). Note that the nominator has not proposed any reason based on policy why the article should be deleted. Thparkth (talk) 12:05, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please read this and this. There are no English references for this article - I quote from Verifiability: "When citing a source in a different language, without quotations, the original and its translation should be provided if requested by other editors". I also quote from BLP: "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source using an inline citation". Unless the article is improved, I still say delete. Beeshoney (talk) 12:25, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the nominator has not requested a translation of the sources, and has not identified any specific material which he believes is problematic from a BLP point of view. Even then, these are not reasons for deletion of the article. Thparkth (talk) 12:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well then, I request a translation of the references. It seems as if you don't read Wikipedia's guidelines yourself - all articles, especially biographies, need references. Simple as. Beeshoney (talk) 13:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here you go. [1] [2] Of course machine translation isn't good enough to quote on a page but IMHO good enough for simple verification. Thparkth (talk) 13:14, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - per Thparkth. --John (talk) 13:18, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You call that a translation? :O I don't understand it. The article still needs English references. I won't comment any more as I've put my point across. I still say delete. Beeshoney (talk) 13:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Thparkth. If bad grammar was grounds for deletion, we should start with the nominator's userpage. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:52, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
