  • I noticed two sources that mention the thing but they’re both pretty obscure and in Italian. Dronebogus (talk) 01:01, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dronebogus: Can you provide the sources? Obscurity and being in a different language doesn't mean unreliable. Pladica (talk) 06:41, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I found and added four sources to the article. They're all in Italian but the google translation is good enough where they're readable. With them and the book source if someone could possibly add it, I believe it meets the notability guidelines. Pladica (talk) 06:41, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
