Talk:List of Brazilian writers

message: Does "writers" (the last heading) mean "fiction writers"?  If so, I'd suggest changing it.  I got "chroniclers" from the Portuguese-English look-up at http://www.yourdictionary.com/.  —JerryFriedman 19:04, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to fill in the red names as best I could, but it's a bit bigger bone to chew than I think I can handle. I think I did fairly alright with the poets though. Anyway Brazil is not actually my interest, but I've noticed that major things concerning that nation are almost ignored outright so I decided to try to alleviate that as much as I could.--T.

message: This list has an extraordinary number of redlinks.  Either articles should be written, or non-notables should be deleted.  Probably both.  --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 07:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability? 

message: Oh, and the list should be alphabetized by surname, too.  --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 09:07, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Alphabetization 

message: I understand your concern, but I checked. I know most of the Brazilian authors by name and checked when in doubt. Some of the authors were familiar because I AfDed them. Anyway - long story short - all those red links should go. If they are important enough, they would come back as articles.Stellatomailing 08:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, go ahead.  It's just I recognized at least one: Silviano Santiago, for whom I'd already have thought of writing a brief article.  --jbmurray (talk|contribs) 18:01, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So -  I am trying to clean up the article from the various wannabes that had articles and were deleted. If I mess it up, please feel free to re-add anybody you feel I killed without reason.Stellatomailing 15:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The section for "novelists" is overwhelmed with writers that do not classify as such - poets, historians, chroniclers, non-fiction writers, etc. It really deserves a general cleansing. Ninguém (talk) 18:44, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Novelists

message: The following people are not Brazilian, and should be moved to the list of Portuguese writers (except Jean de Léry, who was French).
    * Antônio Ferreira (1528-1569) - Portuguese poet
    * Antônio Nobre - Portuguese poet
    * Bento Teixeira (1565- ?) - Portuguese writer
    * Camilo Pessanha (1867-1926) - Portuguese poet
    * Jean de Léry - French writer
And the following do not seem to classify as writers:
    * Cândido José de Araújo Viana (1793-1875)
    * Joaquim do Amor Divino Rabelo, best known as Frei Caneca (1779-1825) - revolutionary, does not seem to have been a writer
    * Assis Chateaubriand (1891-1968) - Press boss
    * Roberto Marinho (1904–2003) - Press boss
    * Vladimir Herzog (1930-1975) - Political activist, victim of torture
    * Dom Pedro II (1825-1891) - Statesman
    * Florêncio Carlos de Abreu e Silva - Politician
Does anyone disagree with excluding them from this list?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.27.28.245 (talk) 15:43, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
