no information shown and no proof of notability Redsky89 (talk) 08:01, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I don't understand what information is not shown, its just a normal biographical stub. As for notability, [1] says he was the Deputy Minister of Culture. [2] says he served in both the senate and the house. (Note that I'm using Google translate for translating these). Legoktm (talk) 08:06, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article provides useful basic biographical details. --Ipigott (talk) 08:11, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Take another look at the article and you'll see how ridiculous this nomination is. --Michig (talk) 08:22, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep "Secretary of State for Culture and Media and Minister of Education, Culture and Science", obvious keep. Article should be expanded though, but that's no reason for deletion. Garion96 (talk) 10:35, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, this article about a notable deceased person. Though there are indeed better secondary sources out there than these obituaries, these articles written after his death indicate positions of notability [3], [4], [5]. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 00:33, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep passes WP:POLITICIAN. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 01:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
