This is my first AfD nomination so apologies if it is not correct. I've nominated the article because the subject does not appear to be notable. The article was created without any references in 2009 and I could not find any sources which suggest that the fountain is notable. Golem08 (talk) 19:36, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, inclined to agree on this one, as can find scarcely anything about it which would even marginally assert any notability. There wasn't a single content edit over a 10 year period which indicates to me this is not a notable topic. Searching under the native name of "Fonte de São Bento" returns mostly either social media or tourist-related sites. I'd be interested to hear what Joseolgon, the creator, thinks all these years later. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 21:15, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. Note that it does not appear to be heritage-listed. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:11, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Source: There's a short paragraph in Portuguese about the fountain aided by a graph in this Olinda history book. Left guide (talk) 04:00, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  That source is about a fountain of the same name in Olinda, Brazil. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 06:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks for pointing that out, I didn’t originally realize those are two different fountains, my mistake. In that case, delete. Left guide (talk) 07:22, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I think it's very likely that print sources exist, but I can't find anything online, so I have to !vote delete for now. The article is short enough that it can be easily recreated if more sources are found. Sojourner in the earth (talk) 06:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete – There are no sources on pt.wiki, I believe that any mention of the fountain must be part of the main article from Mira, Portugal. Svartner (talk) 04:49, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - per above. The article is a mess and completely unsourced, making me wonder if it is even notable. ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 05:12, 16 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
