Unsourced biography of a living person — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnihilatorHeli (talk • contribs) 28 June 2011

Keep. Do not delete this article. It would be a mistake.
1- Angelo Correia has been on the Portuguese language Wikipedia for years.
2- He was a Minister of the Portuguese Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Cavaco Silva.
3- He is a noted opinion maker and appears regularly in the Portuguese media (television and press).

Delete per lack of reliable sources. If he's been in telvision and press, then can't I find any written articles online. I feel that one source may not be enough to sustain the article. Keep since notable sources have been added to the article. SwisterTwister talk 22:16, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 14:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. He is not only a former member of a national parliament, but also a former Minister of the Interior (a cabinet position) in Portugal. See list of ministers under 1981-1983. As such, he easily qualifies as notable under WP:POLITICIAN. A Google News Archive search turns up numerous references to him, mostly in Portuguese but some in English as well, which makes it relatively easy to verify his credentials. This article needs improvement, not deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:20, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Snow keep. Easily meets WP:POLITICIAN as a former member of a national legislature and holder of national office, as verified by reliable sources (Google translation). I will ask the nom and the one person who recommended deletion to reconsider their !votes but absent that I recommend WP:SNOW closure. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 15:42, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep, speedy close. An object demonstration of the disruptiveness of initiating deletion processes while editors are trying to write new articles, as well as the importance of complying with WP:BEFORE. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 18:46, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Snowball speedy keep and close - easily verifiable former MP and Minister. Article needs work, but deletion suggestion is ludicrous --Saalstin (talk) 20:17, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
strong keep Fist: Former minister. Second: a nomination after only 7 minutes is ridiculous, at least wait an hour to give the author a chance to finish the article. Night of the Big Wind (talk) 00:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - passes WP:BIO and WP:POLITICIAN. I don't wish to assume bad faith about the nominator, but this was clearly a mistaken nomination: a quick search for sources would have demonstrated that he obviously meets our inclusion guidelines. Robofish (talk) 14:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
