Humberto Silva

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Silva is the founder of several organizations that appear to be doing good work, but are not themselves particularly notable. His Associação Brasileira dos Portadores de Hepatite (Brazilian Association of Hepatitis Carriers) is not even mentioned in this article, but has received some press in Brazil for funding Hep C testing in Brazil. The organization mentioned in this article, the World Hepatitis Fund, is, according to its Washington State filings, essentially defunct, with no income and no assets. Most of the references in the article refer to Silva's media appearances where he is being interviewed, but none of them appear to be independent reports about Silva. Also, the article is unabashedly laudatory of Silva, and appears to have been written by someone closely related. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:06, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment According to this edit, claims to be unrelated to Humberto Silva. I'm willing to assume good faith on this, but it does not change the issue of deletion.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

Response for the discussion about Article for deletion, Humberto Silva
The notability of the organizations in which Humberto Silva is founder aren't, separately, very notable indeed but the organizations are not the center of the article. The organizations are just a portion of what makes Humberto Silva a notable character in his country, his community, in Rotary, and in a lot of important international philanthropic organizations. The references clearly shows that he is a central pillar for enormous and fundamental social projects in Brazil. And I disagree on the claim that the article is laudatory, all the content of the article are the personal experiences of Humberto Silva, described by himself in his public pronunciations and interviews. And also all the humanitarian actions embased by the references. Julio.frasneli.silva (talk) 17:52, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as this is noticeably hinting at promotional also considering it's explosively detailed but still nothing for any simplicity signs of basic notability. Delete until someone can give a better article. SwisterTwister   talk  01:06, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
