Hey Rodrigo,
I don't know of any example where Site Notice has been used in the past to point people to facebook.
Although the intentions behind what is being proposed are good ones, I think there are probably issues that surround neutrality and with the very different privacy policy of facebook.
Based on those things alone it is not something I would recommend. I would be happy to follow up with you further off list if you would like to discuss this further.
Regards

Hello fellows!
Since the end of the last year some contributors from pt.wikipedia are discussing regarding the idea of including the promotion of our Facebook Page on site Notice [1]
That proposal was started by Teles, a Brazilian steward. He received a lot of local support.
The general idea is to bring more people from Facebook to access Wikipedia through our Facebook page, but what we are doing is redirecting users from pt.wikipedia to Facebook and including a free Facebook ads on pt.wikipedia.
I would like to know if it is ok for the Wikimedia Movement and if this kind of Facebook promotional campaign was proposed and published in other wikipedias/wikimedia projects.
