Delete a non-notable model.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:14, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being named Brazilian model of the year in 2005 is notable. Notability is not temporary. Brazil has over 200 million people, the 5th-largest population in the world. Rafael Verga also finished #2 in the "Most Beautiful Man" contest in 2005, finishing behind Chris Evans...yes, the actor. Clearly, he was big a decade ago. He retired in 2014. A lot of references have been removed over the past 15 years. Removing references does not make someone 'not notable'.Ryoung122 10:04, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Ryoung122 There are lots of “most beautiful people” listicles but these do not necessarily indicate notability. The article also doesn’t say who has chosen the subject arbitrarily as “most beautiful man”. Which of the sources that have been removed do you think best show notability under WP:BLP?

Delete Per lack of independent reliable secondary sources. I couldn't find anything in Portuguese and the claim that sources were removed should be proven. I was looking at the history of the article and couldn't find any reliable sources. Bolhones (talk) 21:08, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - vague allegations of winning accolades does not make a person notable without significant coverage in reliable sources. There's been literally zero newspaper articles about this model. Bearian (talk) 03:39, 16 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
