Article has been here 3 years, and consists of 1 sentence. Not every member of every foreign government is notable.

• Keep. Where to start? First let's get the facts right. She's a member of a parliament, not a government, and for about half a billion people that parliament is not "foreign". Next length of an article is a reason for expanding it, not reducing it even further to nothing. As regards notability, members of national legislatures are considered to be ex officio notable, so the same should apply to members of the legislature of a supra-national organisation which many regard as having greater powers than countries.

• Keep. Members of national or supranational parliaments seem prime encyclopedia fodder. Espresso Addict (talk) 18:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep A remarkably well known and outspoken Portuguese politician, and member of the EU parliament. Indisputable notability for inclusion. Húsönd 18:31, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
