Unsourced BLP. Originally translated from the Portugese Wikipedia article that is also unsourced.  Gazi moff  13:27, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Mild keep, clearly notable in Brazil. Citations added; more would be welcome.  I appreciate the effort going into cleaning up BLPs, but we need a better method than listing them on AfD.  I've seen a number of clearly notable articles listed here -- especially on topics that are more famous outside of the English-language web.  In many places we're countering systemic bias as coverage improves, but not [yet] on AfD.  +sj +  20:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are plenty more sources available amongst these books and these scholarly papers. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, clearly notable, founder of the largest retail chain in Brazil and a pioneer of 'low-end' retailing in the developing world. There is a biography of him in Portuguese, Samuel Klein e Casas Bahia : uma trajetória de sucesso, which went to a 2nd edition. I also added a couple of English-lang sources to the article, including a front-page Wall Street Journal profile. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 21:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
