Count of Paço de Arcos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced stub about a Portuguese title of nobility. I was unable to find public sources to verify the information in this article. Additionally I have concerns that it may fail the notability guidelines.  M w w 1 1 3    (talk) 16:00, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: I wish to side on keeping the article on the counts of Paço de Arcos. First, the article's references state the source of the content (including page number). Owing to the subject matter they are in Portuguese, as would be expected, including the [this] from which this general article was based. Furthermore, in terms of notability the Counts of Paço de Arcos have appeared referenced in other online resources, this general article only uses the "Count" variant of the Portuguese. Regardless, a search on the subject matter will discover other references to "Conde de Paço de Arcos" or "Conde de Paço d'Arcos", including examples of genealogical records, thesis and online research. As much as they may be skewed to the first count, the countship is discussed, noting the importance in the diplomatic, military and economic spectrum in the formative efforts in Brazil. I can also cite that there are online references to Henrique Belford Corrêa da Silva, 2nd Count, indicating the counts importance as well. I hope that this will justify the Countship of Paço dos Arcos/d'Arcos. I suggest that this content be considered a "stub", but that there are important reasons for keeping it.ruben jc ZEORYMER  (talk) 17:28, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep from what User:Zeorymer says, this is clearly not a hoax, but a genuine hereditary title of nobility. We have articles on every such British title; and I see no reason for not having them for other countries.  The only exception for British titles is where the first holder was also the last, when we redirect to his bio-article.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:40, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
