Biography with no references to reliable sources, which is generally a bad thing under the BLP policy - there has been IP edit-warring over information in the article with no evidence of what's correct. There's an assertion of notability regarding a major award he's won, and his IMDB page suggests he's been involved in a fair few minor productions, but I cannot find any real references to back up most information in the article. ~ mazca ^talk 11:00, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I haven't seen any strong indication of notability in English-language sources, but I have seen some decent looking sources in Italian. I'm not sure if WP:NOENG applies here. Toccata quarta (talk) 12:22, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Notability has nothing to do with language of a source. Could you provide links to the sources you have found? --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 13:13, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

[1], [2], [3] and [4]. Toccata quarta (talk) 13:18, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I've listed more reliable sources in my comment below. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 13:32, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (ec) This article (culturalnews.it) says Siciliano received the award "Composer of the Year" at the 67th Venice Film Festival. His works are noted by notable Italian newspapers such as la Repubblica [5] or Libero [6]. It is possible to find out more about him here. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 13:31, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The article as it stands is much clearer about his education and his retirement than about the achievements which presumably came between. (Whether he retired is a question, actually: according to it:Louis Siciliano he merely changed his professional name to ALUEI.) The 2006 Nastro d'Argento for Best Score for La febbre does suggest notability, but his is only one of the four names listed. I currently have no instinct as to whether the article should stay (and be improved), or should go. Ian Spackman (talk) 08:37, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Composer of the Year" award at the 67th Venice Film Festival and 2006 Nastro d'Argento award for Best Score are quite enough to pass WP:ANYBIO's first requirement. The coverage that was listed above is also fine. Cavarrone 06:54, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Cavarrone and the sources given by Vejvančický and myself. Toccata quarta (talk) 09:23, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I'm italian. This guy take advantage of self-made fake news in order to gain visibility. Articles are constantly deleted for this reason, check again links you've posted in this discussion! --Tarukofusuki (talk) 12:44, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
