Completely unnotable. Links go to subject's website and the home pages of a university and and government ministry. The only Google hits for the book are wikipedia and mirrors. — Blue-Haired Lawyer 03:08, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete: notability not established. Nice CV, but not worth an article.--Karljoos (talk) 12:52, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. He presented at a conference: http://www.cibersociedad.net/congres2009/en/perfil/6724/marcello-cavalcanti-barra The British Library has a copy of his 1995 book, but Worldcat doesn't list any other library that does. He had a book launch event. I didn't find any reviews. Google Books has four hits, none of which seem terribly promising: http://books.google.com/books?um=1&cf=all&ned=ca&hl=en&q=%22Marcello%20Cavalcanti%20Barra%22&sa=N&tab=np  Google Scholar has these eight hits for Marcello Cavalcanti Barra: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Marcello+Cavalcanti+Barra%22&hl=en&btnG=Search&as_sdt=2001&as_sdtp=on  and 14 for Marcello Barra: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22Marcello+Barra%22&btnG=Search&as_sdt=2000&as_ylo=&as_vis=0 and 62 (many of which are other people) for MC Barra: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22MC+Barra%22&btnG=Search&as_sdt=2000&as_ylo=&as_vis=0  Unless someone can salvage notability from the Google Scholar hits, I don't think notability can be shown.  - Eastmain (talk • contribs)  01:34, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
