The result was Delete the consensus of this discussion is delete, unless WP:RS were presented , the references dont go to the extent of satisfying notability as per WP:Athlete;

the first point of that competed in a fully professional league, or a competition of equivalent there arent any sources to support him as being professional.

As an amateur the requirement is highest level in amateur sports (who meet the general criteria of secondary sources published about them), its the lack of secondary sources.

Taking all of this into consideration, on the surface there appears to be potential for an article if sources to address the notability are provided. Suggest that media outlets in his home may have written articles at the time his winning the Portuguese title... If sources are provided then the article deletion can be/should be reversed.

Contested speedy. Seems to be a non-notable kickboxer. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 15:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, I agree def. a speedy! --Camaeron (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• He is an active professional kickboxer. The author doesn't list any references but the information is not bogus. There's a lot of worse articles on kickboxers, something like this Morsak Muangsu. i say Keep it.(Marty Rockatansky (talk) 08:14, 12 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]
• Relist AfD (since this discussion is running out of time and there is no consensus formed yet) and flag for rescue. If he has won some competitions at a national level he may well be notable, but we do need references and sources to establish this. If none are forthcoming, then the article should be deleted.

• Comment Just a reliable reference or two and he would satisfy wp:athlete. I can not find any, but someone else might be able to. Barring any addition, this has to be deleted. Mstuczynski (talk) 15:43, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - There are no references. Bearian (talk) 21:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There are references... one just must look for them, and use the little spanish accent thingy at the end of his first name, and include sources in the native tongue of the subject (Portugese). He was the 2004 WAKO Portuguese Champion.

• Delete. There are some mentions of him in various online references, but no actual significant coverage in reliable sources that I can find. The two references above are examples of that: the first is a forum site (which does not meet WP:RS in any case), and merely lists his name in a list of matches, and in the second, there is a single mention of his name in an interview with someone else. This does not add up to notability per WP:ATHLETE. --MCB (talk) 04:21, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
