Octavio Augusto Ceva Antunes

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable guy. He did a nice work but he is only mentioned in media because of his death in an aircraft incident. Damiens .rf 15:44, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Has he published any journal articles? What does Brazilian media say about him? WhisperToMe (talk) 18:25, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Before the accident? Nothing, according to Google news. The article mentions "over 200 scientific articles". If we could source this (and make sure these are important publications), that could be a case for keeping. --Damiens .rf 19:07, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Keep The 200 articles are already mentioned in the link. I think that should be enough to consider him notable. Media mentions may be low, but don't forget that we are talking about an academic, appearences in media are not a mandatory part of their career as with politicians or musicians, so it would be out of place to expect that type of coverage MBelgrano (talk) 02:31, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

 *  Delete Keep. Just publishing articles is not enough. What is needed is that they should have been widely cited. A click on the scholar link above shows that they have not been. I appreciate the personal tragedy here but Wikipedia is not the place to publish obituaries. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:43, 7 April 2011 (UTC).

Keep: WoS indicates sufficient work to indicate noted scholar and pass of WP:prof. WoS reports 189 pieces of work with 1,468 and a h-index 19. (Msrasnw (talk) 23:16, 7 April 2011 (UTC))
 * If the WoS data can be verified I will change my vote, but on GS there are several Antunes with different initials. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:12, 8 April 2011 (UTC).
 * I don't know how to verify WoS other than by cutting and pasting all the refs and the citation counts. But that might be a bit o.t.t. All the refs are for Antunes OAC and chemistry and look right (his h-index of 19 is quite solid - he has 50 articles with 10 or more cites!) Google scholar is better with Antunes OAC, Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 00:30, 8 April 2011 (UTC))
 * Thanks for this info. I get an h index of 13 on GS, but WoS should be better. The field is a fairly well-cited one. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:10, 8 April 2011 (UTC).
