Questionable notability on an unsourced article. Unable to locate reliable sources for the article.

- Keep. Reliable sources are readily locatable simply by clicking on the word "news" in the nomination statement, and notability of a world championship medallist is far from questionable. Phil Bridger (talk) 10:13, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Useful for those who speak that language; was/is not readily available for those who speak English so it wasn't that simple to evaluate sources. I placed a {{findsources}} on the talk page but could not find sources that I could evaluate.

- Keep - I'm a little mystified that the nominator thinks that there is questionable notability when the article notes a bronze medal at an archery world cup event. It's easy enough to verify with his profile at the World Archery Federation. -- Whpq (talk) 17:02, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. Participation in the World Cup appears to satisfy the criteria of WP:ATH, according to which sports figures are presumed notable if they "have participated in a major international amateur or professional competition at the highest level such as the Olympics". However, Google News Archives search for ("dos santos" roberval "copa do mundo" arco), intended to catch Portuguese-language sources, turned up only fairly perfunctory coverage (e.g. this passing mention in Globo Sports or two short paragraphs at terra.com.br), so my "keep" !vote must be a weak one.

- Comment - Relying on google translate makes searching for sources difficult as I have zero proficiency in Portuguese. This article seems to be rather substantial featuring do Santos prominently. -- Whpq (talk) 15:50, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
