Barreto's Goa India

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Although terribly confused and contorted, this article appears to be about a home, the home of the Barreto family in Goa, India. The author (apparently the current resident of the home) has attempted to give this home notability with many links and references, but none of them mention this home specifically. While it is true that a Francisco Barreto was a Portuguese viceroy in Goa in the 16th century, and may have been awarded a coat of arms recognizing said service, there is no evidence that this home has any relation to that man. If it does, and this can be verified, a simple mention of that at the Francisco Barreto article would suffice. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:39, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete I read it as being about the 'house' in the sense of noble family (which is why I tagged it A7), and it appears to be a history of a lot of non-notables mixed with one or two who might be vaguely notable in their own right, but who don't lend their putative notability to the rest. There are houses mentioned in the sense of buildings, but it's the family I see as the central topic. Peridon (talk) 17:52, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete slowly or keep. Not sure what to say on deletion, but this isn't A7 material.  The article says that the family has produced multiple people who were prominent members of Portuguese Indian society; that by itself isn't enough to make the article keepable, but it's enough to make the family important.  If Peridon and I misunderstand the article and it's really about a residence, it still doesn't qualify: a house with multiple prominent residents is important, and buildings aren't A7-eligible either.

 * Delete - I'd only keep it if the house was historic for the events which took place; or has transformed into a museum about the individual who lived there and the events which took place within the house. Doesn't seem to qualify for that criteria. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 19:09, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - Doesnt seem notable as a historical monument or place.--Sodabottle (talk) 09:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
