• This substantial article was created on June 19th and is new enough and long enough. It is well-referenced but the references are either in Romanian or offline, so are accepted in good faith. DYK demands inline citations for the hook and most of the above hook suggestions do not have citations at the end of the sentence, so I have struck them, leaving the one about his poet son. I made no effort to check for policy violations. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:30, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
