No evidence that this previously-deleted article is of someone who meets the notability criteria. It is not a recreation of the previous version of the article, but the additions are not sufficient in my opionion to show notability  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 08:02, 29 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. The previously-deleted article was about a different person, a non-notable Brazilian photographer, while this Fernando Ribeiro is the Portuguese leader and main songwriter of notable band Moonspell. Their album Memorial has reached first place in the Portuguese charts and earned gold certification, and their newest albums also placed on the top charts in both Portugal and other countries: . The band regularly tours both Europe and America, having performed almost 500 concerts in 22 years: . Ribeiro is also active in other bands and he has published three books of poems: . He is mentioned in books about heavy metal and has been interviewed by countless magazines: . He also gets invited on Portugal TV: . Mushroom (Talk) 10:15, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Not sure if Mr Ribeiro is independently notable, he is known mainly for his work with the band Moonspell. Anyway, redirect to the band's article would be definitely better solution than deletion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 12:20, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Strong Keep Fernando Ribeiro's Notability is self evident being the leader of Moonspell, the article is not about that guy  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Grigoros (talk • contribs) 13:37, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment I feel that his notability is basically because of Moonspell - which would warrant a redirect from his article to the band's article, but not sufficient for a stand-alone article.  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 14:18, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Moonspell as I see no evidence of notability independent of his participation in that band.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  02:17, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
