Joaquim Valente

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable martial artist. Studying BJJ under the Gracies doesn't make him notable and he has no sporting success to show he meets WP:NSPORTS or WP:MANOTE. Lacks the significant independent coverage needed to meet WP:GNG. Article has the usual unsupported claims about training police and military personnel. Mdtemp (talk) 17:03, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

"Unusual unsupported claims about training police and military personnel"??? This must be a hater trying to delete the article about a martial art professor who received his belt and professor diploma from Helio Gracie himself. Only 27 people in the world have achieved this. About military and LE instruction, Valente has taught local and federal law enforcement departments and most of the US military branches. Recently these guys were teaching the elite of the Navy. Just do a search on google and you will find all the info on them. These guys are recognized around the world as being the most legit instructors in self defense and yes they are NOT competitors and hove NO fame for that. THEY ARE PROFESSORS AND FOR THAT THEY ARE VERY HIGHLY RECOGNIZED AND FAMOUS.

I wrote this article because I saw a big piece on him on Ocean Drive magazine and on a Record TV. I did some research online and found a lot of evidence on the Valente's. It is very useful to keep this article online. Miamijj1 (talk) 20:34, 3 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete both My search didn't find multiple cases of significant coverage in reliable independent sources and there's nothing in the article to show they meet any notability criteria. Notability is not obtained from one's instructor. Papaursa (talk) 15:47, 8 August 2015 (UTC)
