This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (The person is awarded by the Italian Government as a Knight and was the guide of The Pope Benedict XVI to Istanbul) --Tacci2023 (talk) 13:58, 23 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Lol, in history there were 129,554 Knights. --Vituzzu (talk) 11:26, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Obviously we shouldn't include all italian knights to the Wikipedia. But wait a second, are you saying that it's easy to become an Italian Knight? I don't think so, look: The order is bestowed by decree of the President of the Italian Republic, as head of the orders of knighthood, on the recommendation of the President of the Council of Ministers (source:Order of Merit of the Italian Republic). Also the guy is recognized not only by the Italian state but also by the Turkish local government.--Tacci2023 (talk) 16:29, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

(your reason here) --95.8.244.226 (talk) 21:15, 23 October 2013 (UTC) in my opinion this article should not be deleted but developed. this gentlemen is clearly an important person in his country and for the relationships between the two Countries (Italy and Turkey); with a quick google search i found out several italian major newspapers and magazines regularly talk about his achievements, http://www.ilsole24ore.com/art/cultura/2013-02-03/quel-filo-lega-genova-081442.shtml http://ricerca.repubblica.it/repubblica/archivio/repubblica/2013/09/22/bandiere-sporche-logore-povero-tricolore.html http://www.rivistailmulino.it/news/newsitem/index/Item/News:NEWS_ITEM:2016 but these should have been stated in his wiki as well.Reply

Let's debunk'em! All these three sources state the same thing: he coordinates restoration of an historical landmark in Istanbul, so those sources definitely don't talk regularly about him. You're also misusing some Getty Images in order to write an hyperbolic statement about the Pope being served by him! --Vituzzu (talk) 11:30, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
