WP:BLP of a journalist and political organizer, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for journalists or political organizers. The attempted notability claim as a journalist is that his work exists, and the attempted notability claim in politics is that he serves on the organizational board of a political party, neither of which are "inherently" notable without solid WP:GNG-worthy sourcing about him and his work.
But the stuff about his political involvement is completely unsourced, while the journalism section is referenced entirely to sources where he was the creator of the content, which is not what we need to see: you don't make a journalist notable enough for a Wikipedia article by referencing it to sources where he was the creator of content about other things, you make a journalist notable enough for a Wikipedia article by referencing it to sources where he was the subject of content written or created by other people.
As I can't read Albanian, I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody who can read that language can find enough of the correct kind of sourcing to salvage this, but nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to pass WP:GNG on sources where he's the subject.

:::Interviews don't support notability either, per WP:INTERVIEWS. We need to see other people talking about his work in the third person, not him talking about his own work in the first. Bearcat (talk) 19:44, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

::::Please provide examples of what you think is significant coverage when it comes to Wikipedia article about politicians, as well as interviews about other people talking about the politician's work in thirdperson. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ Clara A. Djalim ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 13:38, 6 December 2024 (UTC)

• Delete as per Bearcat. Board members of organizations not even recognized as parties are not automatically notable. None of the current 3 sources are reliable. I’m willing to change my mind if an Albanian reader can find sources and add them to the page (emphasis mine in both cases). Bearian (talk) 07:18, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

:Hello, i am the living person in the Article, Olaf Bello, i think there is a lot of confusion here on all sides so i am here to provide some links and answer some questions if needed; as i don't know how wikipedia works (i literally created my account today since i saw this discussion going on and thought some clarification is needed) i just want to provide some more informations and leave it up to you.

:Regarding the first point Politics; I am in the current board of Volt Albania: https://voltalbania.org/people/the-board

:Volt Albania is the Albanian branch of Volt Europa which is a legal entity in the kingdom of Belgium in the form of a NGO:https://volteuropa.org/legal

:Volt Albania exists as a political movement only in the form of a NGO and is NOT a Political party as of now.

:Here's some newspaper articles about Volt Albania.

:https://zoom.al/deputetet-e-volt-do-te-inspektojne-2-qendrat-ne-shqiperi-denojme-marreveshjen-mes-melont-dhe-rames/]

:https://top-channel.tv/video/top-news-eurodeputetet-gjejne-gjadrin-bosh-kritikojne-italine-shpenzuan-60-mln-euro-per-asgje/

:Something which has not been talked about in the article which might be useful to determine the fate of the article is that I am currently the president of Volt Germany in Offenbach am Main; Volt Germany IS a legal entity in the form of a political party in Germany

:Here's the link which directly states it from Volt: https://voltdeutschland.org/hessen/offenbach

:Furthermore you can find additional informations from this article from a newspaper about my political work here which specifically mentions my name:

:https://offenbacher-wirtschaft.de/die-region-offenbach-braucht-europa/

:On the journalist side I want to mention that I was not the creator of the reportage "Meravigliosa Calabria;

:https://www.lacplay.it/video/meravigliosa-calabria_567/meravigliosa-calabria-st02-p10-%C2%96-civita-un-gioiello-di-calabria_21980/

:But was a guest as i was, but currently still am, the editorial secretary and active journalist for the local arbereshe newspaper Katundi Yne which has its legal seat in Civita,

:The creator of the Reportage is LaC News, Local Italian TV Channel, more informations here:

:https://www.lacplay.it/

:You can find more informations about Katundi Yne on this link, though some of it behind a paywall:

:https://meamemoria.it/magazine/

:The link does not have any direct names as it is handled by the Gennaro Placco association but i can provide you with my press card and further images of proof as the magazine itself with the names of the people making the newspaper is behind paywayll and is either printed or sent in protected pdf to the subscribers.

:At this moment i don't know how to add images in this comment but i think you're more interested in links and public third party informations.

:On that note i was also a journalist for TV Apollon, local Albanian newspaper, until april of this year. here's the link to its websites:

:https://apollon.tv/

:one of the articles for example, is this one which also talks about Volt in Albania:

:https://apollon.tv/protesta-ne-tirane-kunder-marreveshjes-rama-meloni-te-rinjte-dhe-shoqatat-italiane-ne-rezistence/

:As this is not a EU country no Impressum is given so my direct name is not shown for that reason i understand the claim is dubious to your eyes. In this case as well though i can provide Visual proof if needed.

:Anyway i have provided you with some links, not knowing Wikipedia rules i'll leave it up to you and i am available to provide further informations and i want to thank the person who created this page. Good work. Olaf Bello (talk) 14:59, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
