Declined prod. The added source is a 1 sentence and not SIGCOV. Does not meet WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. Also spinning out the NEXIST argument when sources can't be found doesn't work for establishing notability. LibStar (talk) 22:48, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Well then, what Portuguese newspapers did you look in for coverage? BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:25, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Portuguese newspapers do come up in google news. What sources have you found? LibStar (talk) 23:32, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I asked which ones did you look at? Of the ones you say are available, how many are from his era? You, as the nominator, are obligated to do a WP:BEFORE search. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:34, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The onus is on keep voters (which you normally are) is to identify sources when lacking. Prove me wrong and show me evidence of multiple sources in any media source. Otherwise I will no longer respond to you. LibStar (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Hmmm... how about the fact that he posts in-depth magazine stories on him on his Facebook page; not only that, the magazine talks about other magazines that gave in-depth stories to him... BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:40, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It's almost like the magazine indicates that other sources exist. If only there was a Wikipedia guideline for that concept. --Habst (talk) 00:54, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, subject was covered extensively in Portuguese TV, interviews, etc. The following is a blog but gives an idea of the depth of his accomplishments and coverage available: https://www.wikisporting.com/index.php?title=Joaquim_da_Silva_Ferreira I actually left that link in the article as a comment anticipating a future AfD from you, but there was no acknowledgement of it in the nomination. --Habst (talk) 23:38, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Clearly notable per my own comment and Habst. BeanieFan11 (talk) 23:42, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per Habst and BeanieFan. The lack of WP:BEFORE from this nom is frankly appaling. Coeusin (talk) 10:34, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
