Possibly notable under our inclusion standards, but I can't find any indication of sourcing to demonstrate that. rootology ( C )( T ) 22:23, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I see from Scopus that he has published 22 peer reviewed articles, (this may be an incomplete list--Scopus is not complete in the social sciences) and there's his book, listed in the article, which from WorldCat is held in 236 libraries, looking mostly at the US.good for an academic book about Latin America. (and published by Cambridge Univ. P, an top academic publisher). That's enough to show as an authority in the field. . DGG (talk) 03:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Searching is a bit difficult as the subject's name is fairly common, but Google Scholar searches seems to come up with plenty of citations to his work. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Relatively recent PhD and only associate professor according to University of Minnesota website. However, his book Ambition, Federalism, and Legislative Politics in Brazil is published by a prestigious academic press, has 102 citations per Google Scholar and is held by over 200 libraries (per DGG). Getting a complete list of his other publications is tricky, as he has published as D Samuels as well as DJ Samuels, but I found one research paper with 97 citations and c. 12 others in the correct subject area with over 30 citations. According to his CV, he has co-edited/authored two other books. Espresso Addict (talk) 00:17, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
