Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Shinto shrines in Brazil

The result was Delete. The argument that it is "quite probable that these exist" is one of the least compelling arguments to keep an article I have ever seen. We need reliable sources to verify content, not just a good chance that the subject even exists. While there is no deadline, this has had 36 months in which to "grow", and it hasn't happened.

Delete for reasons Koavf stated. All redlinks, offers zero sources. --BaronVonYiffington (talk) 17:48, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete No sources except for one broken link, one long list of places that may or may not be Shinto shrines and that may or may not be located somewhere in Brazil. Sansso Jinja! Dois Galhos Jinja! Hakkoku Sekioi Jinja!  That doesn't really tell us anything.  Mandsford (talk) 18:45, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment According to As religiões japonesas no Brasil by André Masao Ozaki, there are 9 shinto shrines in Brazil, the first nine shrines cited in the article. Lechatjaune (talk) 19:51, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep added some source to the article, didnt spend great effort, but see New religions in global perspective: a study of religious change in the ...‎ - Page 199 - quite probable that all these shrines exist. The problem with this list, as elsewhere in Wikipedia, is that it is unfinished business, lets give time and room to grow.  AfD rationale is absolutely unconvincing.
