Paul Dimitriu[edit]

The sourcing is thin (mainly a lecture once delivered by a genealogy hobbyist), the claims unverified, and in any case they don't amount to much. If he was a newspaper editor, I see no source suggesting that as a notable attribute of his. As to his professorial, legal and writing career, even less so.

Delete The full name is fairly common in Romania (meaning that there are several Paul Dumitrius out there), but I see no particular coverage of this particular one, and the part of the article that is actually sourced is entirely unconvincing. With that, it fails our notability policies for either academics or politicians. Dahn (talk) 15:31, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep -- hard to find information that is definite given the language barriers, but the Revista Magazin article argues for his notability as does the recommendation in [1] and that major US libraries do hold his book even despite the language difference ([2]). None of this would be enough for a US writer or academic born recently, but for a Romanian writer born in 1920, I wouldn't expect much more even if he were clearly notable. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 03:45, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The only sources we have in the article appear to be a single book review and a genealogy of someone else's descendants in which he appears. I don't think that's enough. And I can't get any useful information from the link posted by Cuthbert either. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:11, 11 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
