Non-encyclopedic material unlikely to become encyclopedic. BCST2001 (talk) 00:48, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems notabe enough to me. There's more information available if you search for "Francisco Felix de Souza" . Give Richardlord a chance. Zagalejo^^^ 01:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Reply I agree it is possible that article could be rewritten to achieve encyclopedic notability. Giving user Richardlord50 a chance may also seem reasonable. However, also note that the same editor is author of next entry on list, Knowledge Based/Knowledge Acquisition, and has made problematic edits to Michel Foucault. I am doubtful article in question here will be revised to a satisfactory point, but am happy if others are prepared to do so. BCST2001 (talk) 01:39, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If, after a few days, it seems that he's not making any progress, I'll try to whip the article into a decent stub. Zagalejo^^^ 01:47, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I've rewrote the article into a decent stub. Cunard (talk) 01:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Very notable individual. See this article on the Portuguese Wikipedia. A Google search reveals notability from this link which calls Sousa "the greatest Portuguese slave trader". Cunard (talk) 01:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Give an article a chance. It is but 2 days old. In the absence of the bountiful amount of sources, "the greatest Portuguese slave trader" is a strong assertion of notability to me. --I'm an Editorofthewiki[citation needed] 03:54, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep I have one of the sources, which the article agrees with, though the name is spelled 'Souza'. He held a monopoly on the Dahomey slave trade for about 30 years.  Edward321 (talk) 04:53, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
