The article is sourced only to IMDb which is not a reliable source. My search for other sources came up with directory listings and the non-reliable Find a Grave, but no sources providing indepth coverage. The unticle has been tagged as unsourced since 2014, and has existed for 13 years. Wikipedia is not meant to be a directory of every person who ever had a credited part in a film. We need reliable secondary sources to show that people actually had impactful acting careers. The number of articles on actors and actresses sourced only to IMDb is staggering, and the refusal to accept that as reasonable grounds to prod delete articles, and the refusal of those who remoal the proposed deletion tags from articles to add any other sourced besides IMDb in the process means we are currently in a situation where we have lots of under sourced articles on actors and actresses. Many of these are not much more than bare filmographies which is its ownproblem. John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:01, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Passes WP:NACTOR - this guy appeared in 60+ films across three decades. The main issue is that span was from the mid 1920s, and he's Portuguese. However, within a few seconds I found some sources straight away, and have included them in the article. Sadly, I don't speak Portuguese, but I'm betting there's a ton more in his native language.

 * And here's the discussion that Lambert alludes to in his "The number of articles on actors and actresses sourced only to IMDb is staggering, and the refusal to accept that as reasonable grounds to prod delete articles, and the refusal of those who remoal the proposed deletion tags from articles..." comment.

 * Although I speak fluent Portuguese, I wasn't able to find other portuguese sources. However one of the sources you found is from the Diário de Notícias, a well known Newspaper of record in Portugal. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 15:02, 16 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment Being in a lot of films is not a sign of notability. What is needed is significant roles. He may or may not have had them, but I have seen enough long lists of uncredited bit parts, and even lists that include on the cast list outright extras to know that merely being in many films is not a sign of notability.12:22, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Find sources above yields 3 critiques from the New York Times with his own name, therefore I'm leaning Keep. Regards, Comte0 (talk) 15:02, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. As well as the sources identified above and in the article there is coverage at . Phil Bridger (talk) 09:22, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep: I think there's enough here to merit an article. I can't read the Portuguese sources, though, so input from someone who can would be great. Dflaw4 (talk) 10:46, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
