This article has one independent source, which is not about the subject but is a discussion of one paper the subject published. Guy (Help!) 09:05, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep: With an h-index of 38 according to Google Scholar, a very clear pass of WP:PROF#1 in a field (mathematical logic) that does not generally have high citation rates. The article itself either needs pruning or far better sourcing - it is probably generally accurate, as the topics discussed match the subject's most highly-cited papers, but while the citation rates establish the subject's notability, we still need verification for individual claims.

 * Keep. His Google scholar profile shows a clear pass of WP:PROF and I think the two articles about him linked from this one   provide enough reliable and in-depth coverage about him to form the basis of an encyclopedia article. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:08, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Please cancel the deletion process. He is a major mathematician, and a living legend here in Brazil (I'm not kidding!). See, for example, http://adonaisantanna.blogspot.com.br/p/grandes-nomes-da-ciencia-brasileira.html Juliana Torres Dias (talk) 04:05, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep on basis of stunning citation record as above. Nominator is reminded of WP:Before. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:04, 2 March 2016 (UTC).
