Jaguar (cartoonist)

lacks evidence to prove he meets WP:CREATIVE Michellecrisp (talk) 22:56, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

*Strong keep - Meet WP:N, he together with Millôr Fernandes, Ziraldo and Prosperi criticized in the newspaper O Pasquim the Brazilian military dictatorship that installed itself after 1964. Jaguar however has been heavily criticized for receiving about US$500,000 in compensation for the persecution he suffered during those years. He was arrested by the censorship.

~~The article Millôr Fernandes is also being AfD. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Millôr Fernandes. EconomistBR 23:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)~~[reply]

Delete - I just noticed the article was created 3 years ago has been edited less than 10 times, still has no sources and is still a low-quality stub. Keeping low quality rarely edited stubs is against my basic Wikiprinciples. Delete per WP:Source and WP:CREATIVE. EconomistBR 00:16, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Keeping this may be against your principles, but it's not against Wikipedia's principles. The solution to the problem of having a low-quality stub on a subject that you know to be notable is to improve it, not to call for its deletion.

I disagree, if the article is low quality and rarelly edited as this one is, it should be deleted. This article was given 3 years to comply with Wikipedia policy, it failed, it should be deleted without discussion. The page is of a such low quality that it is violating the basic WP:Verifiability policy, on which WP:BIO depends on. Yet Jaguar (cartoonist) is going to kept despite of the WP:Verifiability violations and despite of the fact that it is de facto abandoned. EconomistBR 18:36, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Please add citations for the above in the main article. Thanks. Michellecrisp (talk) 23:56, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~:::English sources are hard to find but I managed to find this: Google books - Brazil in the Making By Carmen Nava~~

- Note that the reason this comment by Michellecrisp appears out-of-context is this edit by EconomistBR removing his previous posting. I'm not going to try to fix this, now, but I suggest that if you change your mind on any discussion page, it is better to ~~strikeout~~ your previous comment rather than remove it: especially if another user has replied.

There is quotes of Jaguar in Portuguese Wikiquote. Zero Kitsune (talk) 01:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
