We don't generally consider colonels notable, unless their prominence is immediately obvious (Georgios Papadopoulos, Muammar Gaddafi, Henry L. Stimson). That is not the case for Filotti. That he encouraged the Crown Prince to modernize the army is admirable, and that this is (perhaps) recorded by a couple of memoirs and a text written by a family member is interesting, but there simply isn't enough for a standalone article. At most, he deserves a passing mention in an expanded version of Romanian Land Forces, but even that is doubtful. - Biruitorul Talk 17:13, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - subject of article fails WP:SOLDIER, and further fails WP:BIO. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 12:28, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Doesn't make the cut under any content guideline. Dahn (talk) 15:45, 9 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per RightCowLeftCoast, also seems to lack "significant independent coverage" and hence isn't notable under WP:GNG. Anotherclown (talk) 11:46, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
