Comment: At first I was willing to save this article (indeed, I believe a major cleanup could leave a fine stub), but now I just found out that the article was created by a corporative account (User:Sistema Firjan), also responsible for the following pages (as listed by the account itself):

By glancing at all pages, I'd say they are pretty much promotional material on potentially notable organizations created by a promotional account. This editor did the same thing at the Portuguese Wikipedia, I might add. Could we nominate them all at once so we have one single discussion? Victão Lopes ^Fala! 20:14, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I am marking this because no one above appears to have expressly recommended deletion even though that appears to be implicit in the above discussions.--Rpclod (talk) 22:05, 19 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, all. I was trying to understand what you read in this article that motivated the initiative to nominate it for deletion. Reading the above, I came up to the conclusion that there are two reasons for that:

"find sources" ;
"At first I was willing to save this article (indeed, I believe a major cleanup could leave a fine stub), but now I just found out that the article was created by a corporative account".

Well, regarding the first reason (not enough sources), I worked that out and included another 5 independant and reliable sources - which I hope will solve the problem. But with respect to the second reason... is there any? As far as I am aware of, Wikipedia does not prohibit organizations to edit. Further in cases when "a major cleanup could leave a fine stub". Can we do this cleanup together in order to keep the article? The same applies to the other article's debate, about the Industry Social Service of the State of Rio de Janeiro. All the best, Bernardo Sistema Firjan (talk) 17:14, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

No, it is more the case that mr. Sistema Firjan is promoting the work of the company Sistema Firjan based on non-independent sources supplied by Sistema Firjan. The Banner talk 13:09, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Non-independent sources"? I am afraid you know nothing about news vehicles in Brazil. I suggest you take a look at the websites below (which are referenced in this article) in order to inform yourself better, given the fact that you are looking forward to eliminating articles related to important themes of my country without the necessary knowledge to do so:

G1 portal: a news portal from Globo Organization;
GloboNews: an all news TV channel;
Monitor Mercantil: a traditional newspaper specialized in finance/economy that exists since 1912;
O Dia: a very popular daily newspaper in Rio de Janeiro, created in 1951;
Último Instante: a famous real time news provider.

There are other examples, but I won´t waste more time with someone who positions himself with destructive commentaries and is not opened to learn.

And frankly, administrators should limit your influence in Wikipedia, since your behavior seems to go against its policies.

--Sistema Firjan (talk) 19:58, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm gonna have to partially agree with Sistema Firjan on that one; the sources above are indeed independent and acceptable. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 21:39, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

5 out of 22 (in fact 6 out of 23) sources link to the Firjan website. The rest I did not judge, as I don't speak Portugese. But with the company name abbreviated to Firjan and this article written by User:Sistema Firjan, some suspicion about the neutrality of the author and the article are warranted. The Banner talk 21:46, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I know, you have all the reasons in the World to question neutrality, and I questioned it too. I'm just clarifying it so that nobody misjudges those sources later. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 22:21, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I just performed a major cleanup on the article. I removed what I considered to be blatant advertisement that would require a significant rewriting to abide to our guidelines and left what I thought was important to at least let readers know what the institution is about. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 22:21, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your cooperation, diligence and wiki spirit, Victão Lopes. I appreciate your effort to improve this article. Do you think the changes you have made are enough to remove the deletion label? And the "orphan" label, which it is not? Many thanks, Bernardo.--Sistema Firjan (talk) 19:45, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion is now up to the community. The tag will only be removed when this debate is declared "closed", which is normally (but not exclusively) done by an administrator. It will depend on how other editors judge the article. If nobody else expresses their opinions here, it might be closed as "no consensus reached", which will mean the article will be kept as it is now, but anyone can nominate it for deletion again anytime. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 22:22, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. After my clenaup edit, I think the article has become less promotional. Notability is now quite evident given the independent multiple sources. Victão Lopes ^Fala! 22:22, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - there's no doubt the new version is better. I still have some concerns that the same sources appear several times - multiple instances of coverage from the same source isn't considered "multiple sources" for the purposes of WP:N. But there are other sources there and while I don't speak Portuguese, the subject is mentioned in the title. I think, if nothing else, the "advertising" concerns have been addressed. Though the remaining COI is obviously an issue, it isn't a valid reason for deletion. St★lwart¹¹¹ 13:56, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
