Lindomar[edit]

A speedy request that i'm not sure of. Tawker 03:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. 200.000 people in his community are enough -Ilhador-
If it's going to be kept, it needs to be cleaned up in a serious way, particularly the end. Abstain for now. Devotchka 04:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I don't see any real sources here that help enforce this as a major internet fad. Wickethewok 04:26, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I get over 18000 Ghits [1]. Though they're mostly in Portuguese, they seem relevant. Fan1967 05:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing to prove notability. I'd like more evidence than hits we can't understand seeming to be relevant. RGTraynor 05:23, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note Interestingly I found this one, from Portuguese Wikipedia [2], including the same picture. Fan1967 05:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non-notable. At most, it is a 3 month phenomenon. Ted 05:22, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, nn, unverifiable. --Ter e nc e Ong 05:47, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'm the author. Lindomar is indeed a significant internet fad in Brazil, you can see the numbers in the article and confirm them by searching Orkut. I think searching Orkut and getting big numbers provides enough verifiability. There are also many webpages (including blogs) about him, as told by Google. Also see the talk page for my other arguments. If you want cleanup, do it yourself, or say exactly what is the problem, and I'll do it. I have already read some Wikipedia guidelines in Wikipedia and I think the article is OK. As someone has already pointed, I reused the photo from the Portuguese wikipedia, but I did not write that article (though I edited it to make it less messy, though it is still messy) nor based this one in that one. I based the article from the communities in Orkut and in the "Diário de Pernambuco" that you can see in the references. Jorge 06:13, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not Notable. I already forgot what we were talking about. MiracleMat 15:57, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not for English wiki, even if it's suitable for Portugese one. Tyrenius 17:30, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: If it's suitable for the Portugese one, I don't see why it's not for the English wiki if Wikipedia is supposed to represent a global view. deadkid_dk 00:49, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: per my comment above. deadkid_dk 18:20, 27 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
