This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Portugal. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Portugal|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Portugal. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe.

Rui Borges (footballer, born 1973) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A clear WP:A7. There are no references; same happens in ptwiki. Always played for 2nd tier clubs and has no news article mentioning his name. Reference 1 is over 10 years old and from a local newspaper where he is mentioned as an "Assistant manager" of an, at the time, League 3 side. Not even mentioned (Ctrl+F) on the 2nd reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikisempra (talk • contribs)

• Delete: No sign of notability through examination of reliable sources. — 01:45, 27 December 2024 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8a0:67f0:5200:a89a:a85d:5582:5eb4 (talk • contribs)
• Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2024 December 27. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 13:51, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Sportspeople, Football, and Portugal. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 15:17, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Very difficult to search, even in conjunction with the clubs he has been associated with. The reason is that "the other Rui Borges" also had spells in Trofense, Famalicão, Académico de Viseu and up until a few days ago they were both employed by Vitória. But it is possible to do a WP:BEFORE with hits around 2000. [1] [2] is not overwhelming but it's a start and I know there are more. The nomination statement is highly inaccurate.

• Comment - no comment on notability but BDFutbol confirms that he had 221 appearances in the top tier of Portugal, which is quite a lot. This means that the nominator's statement of "Always played for 2nd tier clubs" is false. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:16, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Note: This discussion has been included in WikiProject Football's list of association football-related deletions. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 21:16, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep He may not have been one of Portugal's greatest players, but he is still a relevant athlete for having played in major clubs and scored goals. He was instrumental in C.D. Trofense promotion in 2008 and has had a long career with significant involvement in Primeira Liga. The user are filing request to delete the article due to conflicts with the other Rui Borges, as he have attempted to do on PTWIKI. Vazafirst (talk) 08:50, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per sources/arguments above which show notability. GiantSnowman 11:10, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
