Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result was no consensus to delete, default to keep. As an aside, if you look on google for "Joao-Maria Nabais" or "Joao Nabais" (no ã), you find quite a few English language hits. Neil  ☎  11:04, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Twice speedied by me as A7; then a contested prod. Looks like non-notable biography/possible vanity to me, but difficult to tell since most/all references are in Portuguese. android 79  22:03, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced. Looks like a badly formatted resume. -- Hawaiian717 22:09, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. No indication of notability, no reliable sources. This is the english wiki, not Portuguese. --AliceJMarkham 11:00, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. This is English language Wikipedia, but that doesn't mean that non-English sources should be given less weight, or that non-anglophone subjects are inherently less notable. See WP:BIAS Phil Bridger 12:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed on the latter, but as to the former: "Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be given whenever possible, and should always be used in preference to other language sources of equal calibre." android  79  15:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * But that doesn't say that non-English language sources are considered less reliable, just that when there is a choice of sources the English language one should be used for the convenience of readers. Phil Bridger 20:27, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, Hawaiian717, and AliceJMarkham. Violates WP:BIO. Bearian 20:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced. Jack1956 21:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep until references are assessed by a Portuguese speaker. The Portuguese Wikipedia article on this person has existed since March 2006. Foreign language sources are acceptable and would should try to avoid an Anglo-US bias. Will reconsider if someone evaluates the sources and finds notability lacking.

 * Keep. While my feeling looking at the links is that they are not definitely reliable as established by WP:RS, I really have no way to evaluate such and duffer to WP:V and will say keep the article as there do so seem to be multiple sources. As above, however, I will reconsider based on further information on the content of the sources. SorryGuy 02:12, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
