Non-notable "individual". I can't even tell what they're claimed to have done in life. I find no sources for whomever or whatever this article describes. Oaktree b (talk) 20:16, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The subject was an Italian soldier, as the article says, and the corresponding article in the Italian Wikipedia has lots of references. See it:Flaminio Paleologo or el:Φλαμίνιο Παλαιολόγος. There's an article on him in an Italian biographical directory, which is enough to demonstrate notability. See Laura Turchi, PALEOLOGO, Flaminio, in Dizionario biografico degli italiani, vol. 80, Roma, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana, 2014. If the subject of an article is from a language/country/society with its own Wikipedia, then WP:BEFORE requires that you check for references in the corresponding article in that language's Wikipedia. In this case, you'll find lots of them. Just Googling an article title isn't good enough. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:59, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify. The subject is a historical person with an entry in the authoritative Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani and the it.wiki article has several apparently decent sources. However this en.wiki version is largely gibberish and when I read that one of his daughters was called “Margherita pizza” it’s clear that the creator just gave up on trying to produce anything worthwhile. Properly written and sourced, there is a valid article here. Mccapra (talk) 22:02, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify: With a considerable entry in the national encyclopedia (and a hell of a last name), he appears to be notable, but this has to be one of the worst quality articles I've ever read. Curbon7 (talk) 00:18, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
