Looks like a vanity page to me. Created by a User:Celloweb on 16 Mar 2004, then a minor subsequent edit by an anon IP in Brazil. I have not been able to confirm that he actually was one of the "most prolific and respected" Brazilian engineers: of the 82 Googlits found, many are for other persons. Lupo 11:21, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Searching for '"marcus vasconcellos" engineer' produces no results that are not Wikipedia derived. - Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 17:02, Apr 20, 2004 (UTC)
- Actually, that's not true. His name comes up on quite a few pages in Portuguese. As that's a language I don't speak, I'll vote neutral. <-- User:Pteron 22:06, 20 Apr 2004
- You must be doing a different search than I am, because I'm not seeing them. -- Cyrius|✎ 16:51, Apr 21, 2004 (UTC)
- Hmm, I don't see Portuguese hits on '"marcus vasconcellos" engineer'. What is your query, Pteron? I'll take a look at the Portuguese pages if they can be located. Wile E. Heresiarch 18:53, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)

- Delete. Anyone who takes 20 years of computer use to find out "it is possible to express himself in a digital way" can't be notable. Postdlf 22:27 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete: vanity. Only edits by User:Celloweb are to post this article, & to spam December 9 and 1962 with his birthday. Sheesh. Wile E. Heresiarch 18:53, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. (There is one "Marcus Vasconcellos" with a couple dozen hits and who is even registered at the Brazilian Govt's database of researchers -- but he is an obstetrician. The other "Marcus Vasconcellos"es (1-3 hits each) do not fit either.)Jorge Stolfi 06:50, 23 Apr 2004 (UTC)
