Emílio Henrique Baumgart
Few hits on Yahoo or Google; may be known in his native country (hence the Portuguese article), but non-notable elsewhere Jim62sch 17:43, 11 March 2006 (UTC) Keep. If he's notable, he's notable, even if the people who are most likely to recognize his notability don't speak your native tongue. Monicasdude 22:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BIO. . PJM 18:34, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * delete if he's notable, this article sure doesn't do a good job of explaining why. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 19:57, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep He lived and died well before the Internet, and being notable in another culture doesn't prevent en.wiki from writing about him. I read some Portugese, and his article in that language softpedals his notability, but he does seem to possibly be notable in a poorly documented, non-trivial field. I vote "keep" to avoid perpetuating systemic bias. — Adrian~enwiki (talk) 19:59, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep The pt.wiki entry isn't very convincng but one of its links seems to claim that he introduced reinforced concrete to Brazil.     Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  21:46, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment -- reading the Portuguese article (yes, I too read Portuguese) he doesn't seem all that notable -- in fact, the English article is a translation of the Portuguese article. In fact, I went on Yahoo Brazil and he has a whole whopping nine hits, including one on Typhus(?).  Seriously, the guy is not notable (the argument about living and dying before the internet is specious -- so did Frank Lloyd Wright and he has how many hits on google or Yahoo?)


 * Delete: I can hardly figure out what he'd be notable for. He sounds as notable as any other architect - which means not particularly.  —Wknight94 (talk) 15:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
