Seemingly fails our requirements for biographies, as the article lacks sufficient reliable, independent sources. Steven Walling &bull; talk   23:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I understand the concern about lack of sources. The problem is that the main sources are in Portuguese and Danish. There is a blank entry for this artist on the Portuguese Wikipedia, where she is listed as an artist, but a biography has not yet been written. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deolinda_(desambigua%C3%A7%C3%A3o) http://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Deolinda_Fonseca&action=edit&redlink=1 I have added one more independent source that I could find in English. She is a well-known artist in Denmark and Portugal, but apparently less so in the English-speaking world. I hope that the biography can remain in Wikipedia and we can build on the sources as more become available. Aadelse (talk) 00:05, 10 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as not having in-depth independent third-party coverage. If sources in non-English languages are found, ping my talk page. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:16, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
