[edit] João Vieira

This looks like a vanity page/advertising to me. A Google search turns up his personal consulting website, followed by the Wikipedia article. —Pearcej 05:20, Jan 28, 2005 (UTC)

• Offer for translation/transwiki if the Portuguese-language Wikipedia wants it. Samaritan 05:45, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. PearceJ, did you put the vfd tag on the article? Because it's not there now, and I can't find it in history. JoaoRicardo 07:02, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• An author with three published books, we are told. Assuming that the books are real (ISBN references, please), Keep and send to Cleanup to bring it into line with other articles about published authors. Uncle G 15:14, 2005 Jan 28 (UTC)
• If no source for the information on this page other than User:Jvieira xemself can be found, then Userfy. Uncle G 15:27, 2005 Jan 28 (UTC)
  • May I ask what "userfy" means? I haven't seen that term before. -Willmcw 23:11, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete, until verification is established this does indeed look like a vanity/personal advertisement page. Megan1967 00:26, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Googling on the book titles turned up several hits, including online bookstores showing the book covers. I've added the ISBN references to the article. Keep, but certainly Cleanup. Alarm 16:56, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
• Three programming instruction books do not notable make, delete. --fvw* 16:58, 2005 Jan 29 (UTC)
• Delete. Basically agree with fvw. -R. fiend 06:52, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. If this page as it currently stands is voted down, it should be made a redirect to João Bernardo Vieira, president of Guinea-Bissau.

This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.
