No particular indication of notability here. The subject has participated in some random conferences, which hardly makes him encyclopedically notable.

As a side note, someone should look more closely at the article creator and his activity. He seems deeply involved with an obscure movement called Empathism (do check out that article, though fair warning: your eyes may hurt), and has been creating stubs about even more obscure figures associated with this supposed literary current.

Anyway, to return to Chelaru: nothing about his record, and certainly not the mediocre sources, suggests that he should have an article here. Thus, delete. Biruitorul ^Talk 15:35, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I don't find any coverage for this person. The Romanian wiki article seems to be sources to CV's or biographies on various websites, hardly notable either. Oaktree b (talk) 15:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged the "empathism" article for clean-up, it's too wordy and over-quoted for what it's trying to day. Oaktree b (talk) 15:58, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete it falls dangerously below WP:GNG and all other known notability guidelines. Even his listed works do not mention him and the works do not have tittles, where they were published and their identifiers such as ISBN, ISSN. Piscili (talk) 16:00, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this article on a non-notable writer fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR. This article is one of a series of promotional articles (a walled garden of sorts) surrounding the so-called Empathism "movement" and the poet Menotti Lerro (who "invented" Empathism and wrote it's manifesto), and the "award" given to the people who adhere to Empathism. Other articles of questionable notability are the other "members" as well as Lerro's Cilento International Poetry Prize and others that I do not have the time at the moment to add. Two SPA's are creating numerous articles that all connect back to Lerro (hence the "walled garden"), whose article on Italian Wikipedia has been deleted for lack of notability. The whole group of articles are WP:PROMO. Netherzone (talk) 01:41, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, aggressive WP:PROMO. Allan Nonymous (talk) 12:51, 26 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: as per all of the above. Axad12 (talk) 04:00, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
