Article appears to be about a diplomatic tension that literally never meaningfully existed outside the in context of “between these years, there was a diplomat from Portugal”. The title of the article was invented for Wikipedia by the author and there’s no indication of historical significance or interest in this topic that warrants an entire article, and this is the third in a recent string of articles from this author with these problems. See also Portuguese Newfoundland and Luso–Danish expedition to North America or the Pining expedition and the associated AfDs for both. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 08:02, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

:I’ve already addressed the title issue on the talk page. Regarding notability, I believe the topic has merit, as it directly contributed to tensions leading to the attacks on Portuguese vessels and resulted in a U.S. Congressional Act to address these issues. I do believe it has its own historical significance, especially in the context of U.S. foreign policy.

:Ultimately, I’ll leave it for discussion. Jaozinhoanaozinho (talk) 11:16, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

::A search for "Da Serra–American conflict" only returns this AfD discussion and the article itself. I struggle to see how this passes WP:GNG and even the article doesn't highlight a conflict, just that diplomacy was taking place. Warrenᚋᚐᚊᚔ 11:51, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete - everybody and their friend Kitara in 2025 knows that we have never published original research. Talking about "merit" and "significance" are irrelevant if it's never been discussed anywhere in any other context. Bearian (talk) 06:01, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
