First, CorenSeachBot identified the page as a possible copyvio of PRWeb in August 2009. The page's creator removed the DB tag without substantially toning down the copyvio; portions of the page are still a close paraphrase.

Second, the individual is of questionable notability. He was a member of a band, O Peso, which has an unsourced page on Portuguese-language Wikipedia but no mention elsewhere on English Wikipedia. He also founded the company Translators, Inc., a company whose Wikipedia page was recently deleted as non-notable and unsourced.

Finally, the page cites only self-published or less-reliable sources: Portuguese Wikipedia, O'Meara's LinkedIn profile, his company's web site, and two defunct blogs. Cnilep (talk) 17:05, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails notability, and obvious self-promotion by two single-purpose accounts. CSD:G11 is your other option. -- Y not? 00:55, 5 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
