Fails WP:NBIO. Tagged for notability since June 2008. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 22:03, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep as he is full professor at the very notable University of Campinas and has an H-index of 21 reported by Google Scholar, both of which I believe should make him qualify under WP:NACADEMICS. There are articles more fleshed out at pt:Željko Loparić and at hr:Željko Loparić that we can expand from. Sam Sailor Talk! 16:05, 23 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete the only source is a link to his own website. We can not keep articles with such total lack of sourcing. Being a full professor anywhere is not enough to meet the requirements for notability of academics. The level of citations is not high enough to pass notability guidelines 1 for academics.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:35, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * By what standard is the level of citations not high enough? Don't forget we make allowance for different citation rates in different subjects. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:55, 24 July 2016 (UTC).


 * Comment. This entry for him in a Croatian encyclopedia appears to be an independent reliable source. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:09, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. Passes WP:Prof in the low-cited field of philosophy. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:25, 24 July 2016 (UTC),
 * Keep - as has been noted above, an H-score of 21 for philosophy is pretty good. Bearian (talk) 19:47, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. According to this source (a journal article on the history of logic in Brazil) he played an important role as director of The Centre for Logic, Epistemology and History of Science at Unicamp, founder of two publication series Cadernos de História e Filosofia da Ciência and Kant e-Prints, and one of the founding members of the Brazilian Logic Society. I think that shows he is a leader of his field in his country and, together with the encyclopedia article linked above, should be good enough for WP:GNG regardless of where we set the threshold for citation counts. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:38, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
