[edit] Martina Mariotti

Martina Mariotti (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

As far as I can tell from the article as it stands, the only thing which might establish this person’s notability in Wikipedia’s sense is the un-named and unreferenced “widely published paper discussing the political intervention in Italian media, particularly that of former Primer Minister Silvio Berlusconi.”

Yet a Google search for ‘"Marina Mariotti" berlusconi’ produces only two hits: one to this article and one to a 9Mb pdf which may, or may not, refer to the paper or, indeed, to the same Mariotti. (I didn’t think the download worthwhile.) Apparently not a widely-discussed paper. I think that the article as it stands should be deleted, just as its predecessor was, and that it should only be re-created if very clear notability can be established from the start. —Ian Spackman 09:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it is worth noting that:

• A previous version of the article stated that ‘Martina is engaged to Canadian Urban Planner, Darcy Roszell, and together they live in the city of Empoli.’ (I removed this sentence as unencyclopledic trivia.)
• The article’s author is called user:Droszell
• He [or she] previously created an article on Darcy roszell (sic), which was speedily deleted (log) on grounds of non-notability.

• Delete. Does not establish notability. --DAJF 12:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I have tried locating her on the websites of the University of Pisa, but failed to fina anything. This does not mean she's not somewhere there (my Italian is less than rudimentary, I admit), but in any case there is no obvious mention. Even a Google search for "Martina Mariotti" only gives few hits and nothing that seems to be related to this article (which is, in fact, the first result to pop up). --Crusio 20:44, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
• Weak delete If she were a professor at Pisa, she would have published more than one paper. Unless something can be fond to substantiate her record, I can not see keeping the article. The author has been notified; let's see if he finds anything. DGG (talk) 01:22, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
