Yes, we've been here before and it was a 20-day no consensus AfD. The issues remain that there is a lack of significant non-trivial RS coverage that doesn't rehash the exact same text. The man saw a UFO, that doesn't make him notable. Appears to be a clear case of WP:BLP1E with the only possible wrinkle being that we don't know whether he's alive. Many people claim to have seen UFOs, there's no evidence this sighting was notable. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 02:46, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Big deal. I always see UFO'S. Unless of course there's substantial coverage in reliable sources. -- brew crewer  (yada, yada) 04:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment: Dear Travellingcari, you don't really seem to give up, do you? Anyway, there's nothing I can do for the article, so go ahead and delete it. I've found this reference (In Spanish), but I don't think It'll help. Victor Lopes (talk) 22:03, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment the previous AfD was closed with, "No prejudice against a re-nomination at a later date." That was four months ago and the article has not been improved in the mean time. As for not giving up, no, I don't when it comes to improving the encyclopedia. Unfortunately, geocities is generally not considered a reliable source, the language is not the issue.

 * Comment: I truly understand your point. However, although I know you didn't intend to offend my with these words, be careful when stating something like "when it comes to improving the encyclopedia". I've got more than two years of hard work here at Wiki, and my contributions do not prevent it from being improved. Actually, most of my edits are made in order to improve this encyclopedia. Victor Lopes (talk) 19:10, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Apologies I didn't mean to offend you in the slightest. I've come across your work on a couple of other articles, although I'm not sure exactly which they were at the moment. What I meant re: improving the encyclopedia was in response to your "never give up" I don't, I want to make it a better place and I don't think we're helped in that cause with relatively weak articles such as this one. That's all I meant, nothing with regard to your other contributions. Apologies again. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 20:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: Please, don't feel guilty. I also want to make Wiki better, otherwise I wouldn't be here for two years. If you and other editors feel that this article is not good, OK, let's make it better (even if it means deleting it). Victor Lopes (talk) 21:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
