Portuguese epic poetry

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Being Portuguese, I am sorry to nominate this for deletion. The article fails WP:RS and the sloppy, historically inaccurate writing mucks up its clumsy attempt to suggest notability. (For the record, each culture in the Luso world has its own poetic traditions.) Ecoleetage (talk) 00:13, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete with no prejudice to re-creation. The article as it stands is nothing more than an abandoned shell, sadly. This is an apparently encyclopedic topic, but not an encyclopedic article. Mostlyharmless (talk) 00:42, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Very short article, serves no purpose. Also, some headings don't have anything written underneath, and no external links. Per:,, , and . America69 (talk) 01:49, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is there anything on this topic in the Portuguese Wikipedia that could be adapted for use here? Could material in Wikisource be linked here? --Eastmain (talk) 02:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If you are fluent in Portuguese then feel free to Transwiki it. Atyndall93 | talk 04:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. The article is a stub. Stubs are often useful. --Eastmain (talk) 02:18, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete I would have normally sided on the Keep side of the argument in a situation where the content is the problem, not the actual notability. But if the content is full of factual errors and would mislead those people who read it then it is better to have no article than an article that will factually mislead people. When someone is read to write a proper article on the topic they can always recreate. Atyndall93 | talk 04:47, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete An 8 month thereabouts old article with very little reliable sources. Artene50 (talk) 06:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Article is too short to warrant distinction from Portuguese poetry or Portuguese literature, although its mention of The Lusiads should probably be incorporated into one or both of the latter articles. Cosmic Latte (talk) 17:06, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge: Add the the information that is relevant and reliable toPortuguese poetry. Leonard( Bloom ) 20:41, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: not much to merge (it's probably all there anyway). Portuguese poetry should be able to handle the topic without this page. Ron B. Thomson (talk) 21:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
