Nobel Peace Prize
Being nominated for the Peace Prize is an honor, but it is not official and not necessarily prestigious. Any national legislator or about a third of the university professors in the world can make a nomination, and there have been as many as 140 some years. Nominators are requested to keep their nominations secret, so it's only those wishing publicity who make announcements. Altogether, I see no reason to keep it. No offense to the subject, this is a general Nobel Peace Prize "nominees" issue. -Willmcw 03:57, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)
 * ''Chico Xavier was recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1981 and 1989 but did not win because of his scarce popularity elsewhere in the world. Although he did not win either of the nominations, his popularity remained unchanged in Brazil.

Emmanuel name
In the book "Há 2000 anos" the Emmanuel's name was Públio Lentulus. I don't know if it's an Portuguese adaptation. Should we modificate the name in the article?
 * No. "Há 2000 anos" was supposedly authored by the spirit Emmanuel by means of Xavier's mediumship. In that book the spirit tells a story that happened to him in one of his lives, one in which his name was Publius Lentulus, a Roman personage who supposedly lived from 10BCE to 65CE. It is clear when you read the book that Emmanuel and Lentulus are two different characters, yet the same person (that's reincarnation, after all...) jggouvea 17:35, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

I know that. The question was about how is the correct spelling. If it is Públio or Publius. I know that the Portuguese version is Públio, but I don't know if the English translation is Publius. dmelorj
 * I know Wikipedia isn't a source by itself, but even the portuguese Wikipedia says his Latin name would have been Publius. Gschadow (talk) 02:21, 17 March 2019 (UTC)

Request for English links
A quick search on Google reveals only Portuguese pages. Thanks.--Jondel 09:53, 15 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I have included two English links. Renato Costa 17:14, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

in the box at the rigth, named spiritualist topics, I must tell you that "fortune-telling" cannot be related with Spiritism by no meaning. Spiritismo is philosophy, with moral consequences, and respects Science. It's a Christian philosophy and his goal it's to live according to the Gospel of Jesus of Nazareth. Fortune-telling is a frivolous activity that spiritists NEVER do! Ricardo/Portugal —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.129.235.235 (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

This article is partial
"The good spirits healed his wounds"? Seriously? 177.143.133.42 (talk) 04:47, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes I have removed that part. It is in history and can be re-written, and cited if need be.  I will probably remove more of this article, which appears to be poorly translated from somewhere, unless proper sourcing can be found fairly quickly. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 00:44, 9 July 2014 (UTC).


 * No kidding it's partial. He's like the national hero of Brazil, a country where some estimate 80% of the population believe in spirits and mediums. I'm guessing this article is a translation of the entire [Brazilian language article]. Shouldn't be hard to rewrite it with some objective sources, but I'm guessing it'll be much smaller once you remove all the sources written by authors who consider him a saint. - LuckyLouie (talk) 03:35, 9 July 2014 (UTC)


 * This article is a joke. Seriously, any source that portrays his claims as fact, can be considered a fringe theory and removed. Huge amounts of highly dubious content without sources. Spacecowboy420 (talk) 08:28, 26 August 2016 (UTC)

Fk off with your nihilism — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.191.20.194 (talk) 07:51, 20 January 2022 (UTC)


 * nihilism is when people don't believe wild claims of spiritual activity at face value with zero evidence, apparently 2603:3018:CD9:100:FCFB:C71C:B795:E6E0 (talk) 08:38, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
