Does not meet notability. The sources are neither reliable nor do they have significant coverage. giso6150 (talk) 17:58, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG with no significant independent coverage. There's also no indication of notability. Winning "many tournaments as a white belt" is the opposite of competing at the highest level. Notability can't be inherited from family members.Mdtemp (talk) 15:51, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete My search found no significant coverage from independent reliable sources. I also think this article's facts are likely wrong. It says he was born in 1978 and "dominated the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu circuit, winning every major competitive title from 1982 to 1990' which would mean he started dominating the BJJ world at the age of 4 or so. The article also claims "In 1990 he also graduated from Rio Federal College receiving a degree in Environmental Farming" at which team he'd have been 12. Finally, there's an unsupported claim he was the Pan-Am sambo champion in 1993 and 1994 as well as movie roles in 1994 and 1995. That's a lot of accomplishments for someone by the age of 16. I found a number of people named John Machado and I suspect this article combines facts from several of them. Papaursa (talk) 00:17, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
