João Batista dos Santos[edit]

A Brazilian craftsman. No notability evident or even asserted, so could even be speedied. However, it's a contested PROD, so let's hear it. Sandstein 09:16, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep notable maker of notable guitars. Eivind ^t ^@^c 17:09, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Any sources for this? Google shows only one pertinent hit: what I assume is his website. Sandstein 22:59, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete possible speedy. A Google search came up with 79 hits for him [1]. Not one of them is verifiable evidence of notability as an instrument maker. No sources provided and from my efforts none are available. Possible speedy as article does not assert importance. Capitalistroadster 23:40, 17 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. A skilled craftsman for sure, but not WP:BIO. Portuguese bio on his site doesn't assert any real notability other than being great at making and selling guitars. No independent sources thus far, making "keep" a curious choice here. Deizio 01:43, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. --Khoikhoi 03:57, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
