Review Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Request for Review based on WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC Criteria

I am submitting this request to draw the reviewer's attention to the specific evidence that satisfies multiple Wikipedia Notability Guidelines, including the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG) and criteria within WP:ACADEMIC. I cannot make edits to the draft myself due to my declared Conflict of Interest.

The following sources confirm notability for this biography:

Policy Criterion Satisfied	Independent Source	Evidence of Significance / Coverage Type
WP:GNG (General Notability Guideline)	Diário de Notícias (15 Oct 2012)	Substantial, non-trivial coverage. Feature article published on Page 19 of a major Portuguese national newspaper [3] explicitly profiling the subject's role related to the Nobel Prize work.[3, 4] This single source meets GNG.
WP:ACADEMIC C3 (Elected Leadership)	Society of Crystallographers in Australia and New Zealand (SCANZ) records	Highly selective honor. Elected President of a binational scholarly society, SCANZ. SCANZ is a member of Science &a.mp; Technology Australia (STA).[5]
WP:ACADEMIC C1 (Scholarly Impact)	FCT NOVA / ITQB-UNL press based on Nature 2011 paper	Significant research impact. Co-author of a highly cited Nature paper. Institutional press confirmed this specific contribution was "fundamental for the attribution of the Nobel."[6]
GNG Reinforcement	FFMS Podcast: Assim Fala a Ciência	Dedicated interview discussing the subject's expertise on open science with a major foundation (Fundação Francisco Manuel dos Santos).

I request that the reviewer assess this documented evidence and, if satisfied that the notability bar is met, accept the draft into the Mainspace.
