Not enough references to establish notability or warrant an entire article for this person. Appears to me a minor fringe author who proposed a location for Atlantis HealthyGirl (talk) 19:03, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep This author is referred in the Location hypotheses of Atlantis. People would like to know his details.Dhani irwanto (talk) 16:43, 22 May 2016 (UTC)Dhani irwanto (talk) 16:45, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep This Article was just created and is probably not expanded at all. The Author is dead for ten years but the theme of "Atlantis in Indonesia" is greatly revived with recent findings of Gunung Padang that is told to be the oldest aritificial pyramid in the world, found in Indonesia.
 * Article needs better references and need to be checked for consistency, however, this Author maintained a largely accessed website on the theme of Atlantis. His site is claimed to be the most visited site about Atlantis. He got well known in the sect with the articles he published. His theory is more popular in Indonesia, because it could bring interest in Tourism and it may be that he never had space in the occident.
 * Santos is the only one said to have ever proposed one really "scientific" theory on the matter of Plato's Atlantis. He is cited in the page Location hypotheses of Atlantis as the "main Advocate" of such theory. He probably never had the space some novelists and some disruptive Authors have due to the more scientific nature of his work.
 * Authors on the theme of pseudoarchaeology and pseudoscience, and novelists like Graham Hancock and others indeed borrow from unkown authors such as this one, who usually do all the real scientific research, and end up with no credit neither in the field of "parascientific", nor in Academia, which usually abominates theme...

 * Delete. No evidence of notability. The references include a blog, a book by Arysio Nunes dos Santos, web sites of fringe organisations, and so on. Searching for information about him I found more of the same. There does not seem to be any significant coverage in any reliable independent source.

 * Delete Does not meet WP:GNG. His only book is self-published and as Atl@ntisfowl points out, the reason that this has gotten any attention at all is because of a hope for tourism… Sorry. giso6150 (talk) 04:31, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - a self-published book, no evidence he meets WP:PROF. As for Gunung Padang Megalithic Site, an article which makes some very dubious claims about its age, the West Java Tourist Board only dates it to 1500 BCE, nothing that special although fascinating.

 * Delete as this is overall still questionable for the needed notability aside from the apparent "Atlantis" claims, nothing else convincing. Notifying who wishes to be notified of such subjects and I also welcome his analysis.  SwisterTwister   talk  05:09, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
