Delete Relevant? Necessary? Possibly vanity. mu5ti/talk 02:32, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I've tagged it for speedy as vanity. --TM ^(talk) 03:41, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • And I've untagged it. A rector is "the highest academic official of a university in many countries". Definitely an assertion of notability. No vote. android79 03:50, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. - Not a vanity page--the philosopher Giuseppe Tarantino is long dead (there's also a violinist with that name, even longer dead). I've rewritten it as a stub, based on this publisher webpage: [1]. Chick Bowen 03:53, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep the rewrite. --TM ^(talk) 04:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as rewritten. -- BD2412 ^talk 04:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. – AxSkov (☏) 05:18, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as rewritten by Chick Bowen and thanks to him or her for the rewrite. Notable academic and philosopher. Capitalistroadster 09:17, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, but I am questioning whether the name of the university in the article isn't a conflation of two institutions of higher education in Pisa, the University of Pisa and the Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa. Uppland 19:27, 18 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right: he was apparently at U. di Pisa. I've made the correction. Chick Bowen 02:03, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep as rewritten by Chick Bowen. Hall Monitor 22:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep for reasons above, although I am not sure I agree with android's assertion that holding the post of rector at a University is on its own sufficient grounds for inclusion. Dottore So 15:41, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I never made any such assertion. I said the article makes an assertion of notability, and therefore does not qualify for speedy under CSD A7. Whether holding such a post is sufficient grounds for inclusion is something I have no opinion on, and I have not voted here because of that. android79 17:31, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
