The result was speedy delete by Jimfbleak (talk · contribs) per WP:CSD#G10 (negative unsourced biography). I thought that was only supposed to apply to living people? The deleted version of the article states (in the still-untranslated French part) that he died in 1998. And I'm not seeing the attack content. But it was deleted, so might as well close the AfD. —David Eppstein (talk) 20:21, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't seem to come close to meeting WP:BIO. As far as I've read in the article while translating it, as adventurous and heroic as his life was, he doesn't seem to have become well known, and there are no Google hits for "Idalio Fialho" or "Idalio Angelo Fialho", other than a single Google Books hit for a book that was dedicated to someone by the name Idalio Fialho, but doesn't otherwise mention him. —Largo Plazo (talk) 19:21, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unsourced biography of someone who, despite being Portuguese and having lived in France, was not notable enough to appear in the Portuguese or French Wikipedias. If he was a notable politician he'd be mentioned somewhere online. For all we know this could be completely WP:MADEUP. --NellieBly (talk) 23:15, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Political activist (not a politician as stated by the article, as he has never held office) with no real evidence of notability. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 14:19, 26 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
