The reference takes me to nowhere, so it doesn't prove me anything. Besides, your article does not assert notability. Being a relative of a famous person is not a claim of notability unless the relative has achieved notability himself. Victao lopes (talk) 21:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I declined the speedy and fixed the ref. I suspect this will go to AfD, but let's give the author some time to get it in shape first. It doesn't appear to be a hoax or a vanity article and it might have legs.Toddst1 (talk) 23:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, if you believe the article should be given a chance, let's do it. However, I don't believe this person is notable, only for being related to someone famous. Victao lopes (talk) 00:00, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
