Dossier Riolândia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Cross-wiki spam created by Machado Zamenhof, a sock-puppet user (blocked on Wikipedia in Portuguese, see also meta:Special:CentralAuth/Machado_Zamenhof, Category sockpuppets of Victor R12). Deleted from Wikipedia in Simple English and Wikipedia in French. It is only a temporary event. It had only received some coverage in January 2014 because the Dossier had been just finished, but it does not seem that it lasted. Anyway a document from INAPE's website (pg. 10) indicates that it is an amateur organisation: "INAPE (Instituto de Astronomia e Pesquisa Espacial), organização amadora com sede em Araçatuba SP" translation: "INAPE (Institute of Astronomy and Space Research), amateur organisation located in Araçatuba SP".

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete per Fringe theories, "To be notable, a topic must receive significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Otherwise it is not notable enough for a dedicated article in Wikipedia." This topic has been cited in a news item in a local newspaper, I would not call that "significant coverage".

 * Merge with UFO sightings in Brazil. Insufficient material for a standalone article. Victão Lopes  Fala! 15:56, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not appear to be notable, one newspaper article isn't enough to meet GNG, no Google News results, and most Google results are Wikipedia mirrors. Everymorning   talk  16:01, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable spam per WP:FRINGE. Bearian (talk) 01:44, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment - not that I think it should be kept, but it's not a sock if they are blocked on another wiki. Otherwise I'd just delete it right now. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 23:09, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
