Portuguese mathematician (BLP). I can see no evidence that he meets WP:BASIC, since the sources cited are just a routine bio on his academic institution and two publications by him. I cannot immediately see any basis on which he would meet WP:ACADEMIC either. Dionysodorus (talk) 15:47, 27 September 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. This is a low-citation area, but we still need evidence of significance, and with the low citations and no awards or the like evident, we don't have the evidence we need for WP:PROF#C1, #C2, or any other notability criterion. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:59, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. I'm looking for several highly impactful publications for an NPROF C1 case, and I'm not seeing these. I do see a long tail of moderately well-cited papers, but the record generally looks a bit weaker than other discussions that have ended in deletion. Given the long tail, I'm watchlisting discussion in case better evidence of notability arises. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 21:46, 27 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete - one citation is not enough for a BLP. It's basically original research. Bearian (talk) 00:42, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete. The one non-primary source he has doesn't seem to be WP:SIGCOV since it's about his department, not about him. I could be missing something, but I don't even see him mentioned on the page. Lovelyfurball (talk) 22:38, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I searched he doesn't seem to have a lot of citations and the only non-research based publication I could find him in was an opinion piece he did for a Portuguese newspaper. Doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG. Agnieszka653 (talk) 19:19, 2 October 2025 (UTC)
- Delete I couldn’t turn up any decent sources either. Doesn’t seem notable. Absurdum4242 (talk) 12:35, 4 October 2025 (UTC)
