Alleged to be csd eligible, however there is just enough achievement in the article that I think this guy may meet the notability standards to stay. Placing the article here for community input. TomStar81 (Talk) 07:29, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * keep I know this guy. He's been very active in the venture capital scenario in Brazil. He will be a major speaker in an upcoming venture capital conference in the northeast of Brazil. Mangue.bit Conference--Canton1998 (talk) 14:21, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete as searches found nothing convincingly better and none of the current article is currently satisfying the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  06:33, 1 March 2016 (UTC)

 * keep I agree with OP that there's a lot of achievement for this guy and he may meet the notability standards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.102.173.66 (talk) 16:49, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. There is no indication that the subject might pass the general notability guideline, and I can find no evidence of such. The only other possible notability guideline that might be applicable is WP:PROF, but, with Google Scholar showing just a handful of citations to his work in a very highly cited field, that also draws a blank. The "keep" opinions above are unconvincing, and more likely counter-productive. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 22:54, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. I found quite a good amount of references to his work on computer graphics / motion capture with a google search. Indeed his work is cross cited in several online libraries in universities in USA and Europe. Looks that he produced a lot of relevant stuff in his research field. On the venture capital side, despite being unknown outside Brazil, he seems to be quite known in the brazilian local venture capital ecossystem, running the largest vc fund in Brazil and doing a lot of talks all over brazil about the theme. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.208.33.32 (talk) 19:20, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Could you please provide us with some of the sources that you have found demonstrating that what you say is true? If you can show that he has received significant coverage in independent reliable sources, rather than just make that claim, then the article will be kept. None of the sources in the article constitute such significant coverage, and I can't see any better sources from the search results linked at the top of this discussion. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 19:51, 12 March 2016 (UTC)

 * I've looked at about a dozen of those, and all are just mentions of the subject rather than significant coverage, apart from the Bloomberg profile at the end, but those profiles are submitted by their subjects. In case I've missed some good ones could you please identify just two or three of those sources that have significant coverage? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 07:45, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Analysis by 86.17.222.157 seems correct. Judging by the SPA creation of the article and the mostly SPA panelists here, article is either fanpage or vanity bio. Agricola44 (talk) 16:39, 17 March 2016 (UTC).
 * Delete. Minor student accomplishments pad out an otherwise bare and clearly-non-notable narrative. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:22, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. Xxanthippe (talk) 23:20, 17 March 2016 (UTC).
 * Keep I believe his achievements and local awareness as descrbed in the references are enough to keep the page listed in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.132.101 (talk) 09:51, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak keep The statement (if proved) made in the article that guy created the first website of a city bidding for the olympics is quite interesting. I've searched at the Wayback Machine using the reference posted in the article and didn't find anything dated back the cited website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.173.155.130 (talk) 23:27, 18 March 2016 (UTC)  — 79.173.155.130 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep Subject seems to be a well know VC investor running one of the major VC funds in his geographic region. I tend to agree that there's enough achievement to keep its notable status. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 177.208.33.32 (talk) 01:14, 25 March 2016 (UTC)  — 177.208.33.32 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
