This article is supported by 4 sources, 5, if you consider an article by the subject that is cited by the Italian version. The works section completely unsourced, and appears to have been copied from a Facebook post, according to [1]. The central claim appears to be that Petrucci is notabale for discovering several lost Bernini's. I'm not a Bernini expert, and I am not disputing that he was involved in their (re)discovery, but I dispute that he is notable for those, meaning that he has not received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources.

• Move to draft. The biography is completely unsourced. There may be notability here, but it isn't presently supported on the face of the article. Book reviews in reliable sources would help. BD2412 T 00:44, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete I think this is a case of WP:TNT. There is no way to properly source the current article. However, if the Italian sources were consulted, it's likely at least a decent stub could be created. Curiocurio ( talk) 17:18, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply

  Curiocurio, there are two sources from the French and Italian version that are not used in the English version, http://romatrepress.uniroma3.it/repository/60/pdf/e24e6add-59ab-4c24-be6d-a78c12564616.pdf and http://www.30giorni.it/articoli_id_4384_l4.htm Vexations ( talk) 18:32, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply

Thanks for pointing that out. The article was obviously created by someone who knows the subject (the photo of the subject was taken by the article's creator). I just don't see realistically how it can be cleaned up as it stands. Someone needs to trim it down severely, utilizing only actual sources. Curiocurio ( talk) 20:21, 12 July 2020 (UTC) reply
