Francisco José da Silva Couto

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It was deleted from Wikipedia in Portuguese. It does not seem to be notable. Several sources are unreliable (My Heritage Blog "Free University of Juá") The ones which do are reliable are either official diary (it does not any show notability because any Run-of-the-mill bureacrat has his/her name published in the official diary when he/she is hired, gets promoted, etc) or are about the relatives (the source mentions the name of the person who is from the family but does not show that that he/she is related to Francisco José da Silva Couto, i. e. WP:OR). There is the claim that the family's house was donated for the purpose of installing a school but the sources only mentions the school, but not that the building was donated by his family, i. e. WP:OR. It was mentioned that there is a place named after him but google maps at best only shows that there is a place named "coronel Couto" not that it was named after him (and Couto is a pretty common sur name in Brazil it may be named after another Colonel), i. e. WP:OR. Bilhauano (talk) 03:36, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Answer to the proposal for deletion. Many new references and some photos were added to the short biography of Francisco José da Silva Couto, including the reference to the book of MACATRÃO (2009): "Casarões do Brejo & Outros Pontos" (Big Houses of Brejo & Other Sites"), which are probably sufficient to give the required credibility to the contents of the text. By the way, it is necessary to clarify that My Heritage genealogic trees have, similarly to Wikipedia, their own systematic way of crosschecking the information inserted, named SmartMatch, by comparing the many genealogic trees added by different people in their data bank and asking for the cross confirmation.

 * Strong Delete and SALT: has to go. This is basically a family tree/genealogy masquerading as an article. Quis separabit?  14:44, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment I was looking for the book using ISBN search of the National Library of Brazil and I couldn't find the book (I was looking for the book using the title, name of the author and publisher). It seems that the "book" does not even have a ISBN. In any case, it seems that the book is about the house not about Francisco José da Silva Couto (WP:NOTINHERITED). In addition to these, you say that My Heritage is like Wikipedia, but Wikipedia itself is not a reliable source. Blog is not a reliable source. Bilhauano (talk) 01:56, 15 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete and SALT: not notable, trivia and WP:Memorial applies. Kierzek (talk) 14:08, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
