The biography is full of weasel words, biased info and trivial details. Now it reads:
Freitas-Magalhães, A. ( 1966-) was born in Fornelos, North of Portugal. His work has been the focus of many print, radio, and television appearances (e.g. Folha de São Paulo, Brazil) [1]. He provides training in conjunction with Paul Ekman in detecting deception and evaluating truthfulness. He is currently consultant to Ekman Group (USA). He is the author of the book "The Psychology of Human Smile" [2]. Since 2006 he is Professor of Psychology of Emotions, Psychology and Law, Applied Psychology and Experimental Psychology at University Fernando Pessoa(UFP). He is a founder and currently director of Facial Emotion Expression Lab (FEELab)at University Fernando Pessoa Health School. He is a fellow of the International Society for Research on Emotions (ISRE), the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) and of the International Society for Facial Expression (ISFE). Freitas-Magalhães is the author of F-M Portuguese Face Database (F-MPF, 2003) [3], F-M Emotional Intelligence Scale] (F-MEIS, 2004) [4] and Smile Perception Scale] (SPS, 2003) [5], unique in the world (Ph.D. Thesis, 2003). Faculty member and Director of Facial Emotion Expression Lab (FEELab), at UFP, Prof. Freitas-Magalhães has also written several books, his studies focusing on the recognition from basic emotions, particularly the smile.

He lives in Oporto, North of Portugal, with is wife Ana, and his son, Gonçalo. His personal interests include international travel, photography, poetry, web design and simply to observe the face world.
After editing I come to this (and I think there are still too many details there - like author of a book - that is practically part of his job)

What is so notable of this person above and beyond any normal university professor; they all write books, appear on television, publish articles (>100 peer reviewed articles is not exceptional for a professor; this guy seems to have to add conf proceedings and reports to achieve 100). The only claim to notability beyond his normal job profile is being mentioned professor of the year by a commercial biographical information publisher International Biographical Centre; which has dozens of such awards every year. (not wanting to doubt good faith I think it is striking the original article was put up by an editor named feelab1, which happens to be the name of the lab this professor founded and is director of; which makes me wonder about potential conflict of interest of the original creator of the article).

I have been trying to locate the books added by the 195. anon editor. However it appears these book do NOT exist. At least, the books DO appear to exist in Portuguese version only; so there is no actual book with the title in English. In my opinion translating book titles is not a good idea as that (at best) implies the book is in English. Therefore, awaiting evidence the books are actually publicly available in English, I have removed the book listing. Arnoutf ( talk) 18:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The list of publications contains books published by
To be honest the first two publishers are obscure and it is very unlikely that books published by those publishers will have a notable impact on international scientific discourse.
The last publisher Elsevier is not obscure, but a chapter in an encyclopedia of theirs is a short summary aimed at a broader public - tertiary literature. Writing such chapters is very common for academics, to an extent that it hardly counts towards e.g. tenure track criteria in many systems. Hence this particular chapter is likely not very notable on its own.
In addition, while English titles are mentioned, the ISBN refers to a Portuguese book, hence the titles listed here do not exist as such e.g. [4] [5] [6] and cannot be found with the provided information e.g. [7]
Actually the only listing I could find was the chapter in the Elsevier encyclopedia
[8].
In short: Evidence of the actual existence of these books under the listed English titles is absent. The only publication that can be found is a rather unnotable 10 page entry in an Encyclopedia.
This all says nothing about the quality of the work. However it says much about notability, or indeed existence that it cannot be found.
I have been bold and removed the book list for all those reasons, but this has been re-added without even an edit summary by anon editer. Per WP:BRD I am waiting for their response. Arnoutf ( talk) 19:47, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
