tagged for notability for 5 years; I couldn't verify notability Boleyn (talk) 21:44, 16 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: His large beetle (and other insect) collections and entomological notes are an important contribution to the development of this science in late 19th and early 20th century Italy. His name appears in contemporary works and in directories. He is not in the first rank but would easily make the second. Deletion of this article would remove a start point for further research. Please keep. Notafly (talk) 08:26, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Notable scientist. Ruigeroeland (talk) 22:30, 17 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - it needs work and it seems the most valuable sources might be in Italian. That's fine, of course, but I can understand where the nomination came from. I think it would help to have verification that his collection is/was considered to be an important contribution to science (I mean beyond the opinion of editors here, as valid as those opinions might be). I think his notability is established anyway, but it might help avoid a return to AFD in the future. Stalwart111 00:27, 18 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
