Dora (singer)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. In 1986 she was 14th with Não sejas mau para mim and two years later she was 18th with Voltarei. Schuy m 1 ( talk ) 20:31, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom due to the issue of reliable sourcing. I will check back on this debate periodically to see if anyone can locate documents to demonstrate the notability of the subject.   coccyx bloccyx  (toccyx)  17:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep - She has represented Portugal twice as noted in the article, and confirmed from the Eurovision particpation history for Portugal. Dora, as a name makes it hard (nearly impossible) to search via google, and I suspect that most sourcing would be inPortuguese which I cannot read. -- Whpq (talk) 21:07, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Twice represented her country at the Eurovision Song Contest and not notable? Let's use a bit of WP:COMMONSENSE here. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:36, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Seems the page has had the same two sentence description since April 2006. A look at Eurovision Song Contest 1986 shows a list of the top 20 and lists Dora as number 20, not 14 (Confirmed by the official website as well) and for 1988 she was again 20, not 18([http://www.eurovision.tv/index/main?page=66&event=304 official). Either way Dora would still be included on that page, there is no need to keep a two line article.
 * Comment. That's untrue. Those references confirm that she was placed 14th and 18th - 20 is simply the draw number. It's the column on the right that you need to look at, not the one on the left. But anyway she's notable for representing a country in the contest, not for the position she gained. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:17, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: My bad. I see that. But I still stick to delete as a two line article is weak. Soundvisions1 (talk) 20:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. And since when has being a two line article been a reason for turning it into a zero line article? This needs expansion, not deletion. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:00, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment:I am all for any article being expanded upon however the topic here is not expansion it is "should it be deleted." I said "Seems the page has had the same two sentence description since April 2006" and I make my choice on that. Soundvisions1 (talk) 21:14, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
