João Almeida Photography

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is an article on a run-of-the-mill freelance photography project like thousands of others. The article itself makes no claim of notability. The provided links are dead and would not contribute towards notability anyway since they were primary sources (they linked to a minor exhibit and a photobook). A WP:BEFORE search could not find significant coverage in reliable sources so WP:GNG is not met. Also clear WP:COI since the the article creator uses a nickname that is related to the project and invites people in their userpage to visit this project's website.

 * Comment: Careful with the avalanche of false positives you will find when searching for this on Google, João Almeida is a common name in the Portuguese language. RetiredDuke (talk) 20:51, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete because no awards, reviews or exhibitions to establish WP:ARTIST. Plus the WP:COI issues. His own webpage lists the following:
 * São Tomé – Exhibition dedicated to the lush tropical island of São Tomé.
 * Commended in Sony World Photography Awards 2017 in the Open Competition – Nature category.
 * Ísland – Exhibition that explores a personal, less crowded and “postcardy” view of Iceland.
 * National Geographic Portugal  – featured at the Your Shot section with a portrait Cienfuegos market, Cuba
 * Four looks on India – Collective exhibit with Ruben Vicente, João Maia and Luís Ferreira, where each photographer shows a personal view of India.
 * Finalist of Travel Photographer of the Year 2014 award in the New Talent – Travelogue category.
 * People and Portraits of Myanmar – Exhibit with Ruben Vicente dedicated to Myanmar.
 * Para lá da superfície – Photo book dedicates to coastal areas, contribution with a set of photos.
 * Os Sem Nome – Collective exhibit of 30 Portuguese Flickr photographers.
 * None of the exhibitions establish notability. He didn't win the Sony World Photography Awards he was commended, for which they give 50 per category; this is not even the short list, for which they give 10 per category. --Theredproject (talk) 20:53, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
