Joachim Ferrera

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article on a Boer soldier has had no sources for preceding 11 years. A search on Google News, Google Books, newspapers.com, and JSTOR fails to find any. I also checked "Joaquin Ferreira", however, this appears to be an entirely different person. Fails WP:NSOLDIER and WP:GNG. Chetsford (talk) 17:00, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - I found nothing in Google, Google Books, Newspapers.com or Newspaperarchive.cvom; Fails WP:SOLDIER.-- Georgia Army Vet Contribs Talk 18:47, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Joachim Ferreira - Has entries in the South African Military Who's Who, Volume V of the New Dictionary of South African Biography, and the Biographical Register of Swaziland to 1902. His name is correctly spelt Joachim Ferreira according to these sources, which I believe meet WP:ANYBIO #3. Additionally he meets WP:SOLDIER because leading a large portion of the Boer force at Majuba, a significant battle, counts as combat command. Kges1901 (talk) 00:40, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep and Move and withdraw delete per discovery of correct spelling by Kges1901. Since the reason there was no evidence of any sources on BEFORE was, apparently, because the name was misspelled in the title the rationale for deletion is obliviated in my opinion.

 * Keep and move per Kges1901. Satisfies GNG and SOLDIER. The nominator could not find sources because the article is at the wrong location. The man's name was Joachim Ferreira. The article has been expanded since nomination and there are more sources in GBooks etc. James500 (talk) 15:17, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have effected the page move. The page is now at the correct spelling. James500 (talk) 15:22, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - per correct spelling and appearance in dictionary of national biography. Significant military commanders of independence movements are often notable, even when the force size involved is small.Icewhiz (talk) 07:54, 22 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep important commander who has an entry in the dictionary of national biography. Meets NSOLDIER. ~ EDDY  ( talk / contribs )~ 16:25, 25 August 2018 (UTC)
