:({{Find sources AFD|title=Marco Trombetti}})

I believe the subject of the article does not meet WP:GNG due to not receiving significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. None of the sources referenced by the article meet both these criteria - there are many citations either to primary sources or to reliable sources that only briefly mention the subject.

After searching online for sources:

• Google web search shows no significant coverage from reliable sources in first 3 pages
• Google Books shows the following results:

:* Zero to AI by Valigi and Mauro: Some passing coverage in a section, a few pages long, about the technical details of Trombetti's work.

:* How AI Ate the World by Chris Stokel-Walker. Passing mention of the subject in the context of an opinion he expressed on one occasion and a discussion of its merits.

:* Handbook of the Language Industry, published by De Gruyter. Even briefer mention of the same event.

:* Some more works that cite the subject as a source.

• Google News shows a few podcasts and press releases, but no secondary sources.
• Google Scholar shows about 700 citations, 400 to the subject's academic work. WP:NPROF is questionable.

Additionally, the tone of the article borders on WP:PROMO, and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=1265260028 recent events] appear to indicate undisclosed paid editing on a topic closely related to the article's subject. --Richard Yin (talk) 02:21, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

• Not sure yet Delete. Certainly no pass of WP:Prof#C1 in a very high cited field. There is a lot of grandiose puffery of his entrepreneurial activities that other editors will have to assess. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:01, 26 December 2024 (UTC),

• Delete. The GScholar profile[https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=CZf5x6MAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao] shows h-index of 5, certainly not enough to pass WP:PROF. The case for WP:BIO notability as an entrepreneur also appears weak, per the nominator's arguments. In any case, the article is so promotional as to border on G11.

• Delete. Overtly promotion and obviously created by someone with a close connection to the subject. Brandon (talk) 14:00, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
• Delete Fails SIGCOV and NBIO. No significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Also, fails WP:PROMO. ---Steve Quinn (talk) 23:46, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
