Mild keep, clearly notable in Brazil. Citations added; more would be welcome. I appreciate the effort going into cleaning up BLPs, but we need a better method than listing them on AfD. I've seen a number of clearly notable articles listed here -- especially on topics that are more famous outside of the English-language web. In many places we're countering systemic bias as coverage improves, but not [yet] on AfD. +sj+20:00, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, clearly notable, founder of the largest retail chain in Brazil and a pioneer of 'low-end' retailing in the developing world. There is a biography of him in Portuguese, Samuel Klein e Casas Bahia : uma trajetória de sucesso, which went to a 2nd edition. I also added a couple of English-lang sources to the article, including a front-page Wall Street Journal profile. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 21:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
