This really doesn't look like a genuine village at all - it's a residential/holiday development, and the article is written in a promotional style by a company promoting the place. See and  for details of its true nature. The original source from which the article was copied is at, which is clearly a property marketing site - check the article history to see the original version, complete with that as its only source. I've done some Googling, and I can't find any coverage of the place outside of residential/property promotion sites, so it looks like a promotional article for a non-notable development. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:00, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * PS: The author originally created three such articles, for similar developments, and I requested speedy deletion as a copyright infringement on this one (I think - sorry if I have any details incorrect), and as a combination of copyright infringement and advertising on the others. This one has now been undeleted as copyright permission has been properly done by OTRS, but the other two remain deleted as promotional. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:08, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep but edit. NYT style magazine at http://tmagazine.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/07/23/full-disclosure-comporta-portugal/ refers to one of the restaurants as a "former rice husking factory", suggesting the place had some existence before becoming a holiday resort for the Beautiful People. Treat as just another village, therefore notable. Will do some editing now. PamD (talk) 19:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Have moved the page to Comporta - several incoming links - and stripped out a lot of the peacockery. PamD (talk) 20:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Note that the place is listed as a redlinked village of Alcácer do Sal Municipality since at least 27 Dec 2009 - linked as Comporta (Alcácer do Sal), I've made a redirect. Appears just as Comporta in List_of_parishes_of_Portugal:_A. PamD (talk) 20:10, 7 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep/Withdraw. Nice find - you were more successful than I was. As it now has one decent source and has had the promotional puffery removed, I'd like to withdraw my nomination. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 20:44, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
