It is shown that no infinite-dimensional Banach space can have a weakly K-analytic Hamel basis. As consequences, (i) no infinite-dimensional weakly analytic separable Banach space E has a Hamel basis C-embedded in E(weak), and (ii) no infinite-dimensional Banach space has a weakly pseudocompact Hamel basis. Among other results, it is also shown that there exist noncomplete normed barrelled spaces with closed discrete Hamel bases of arbitrarily large cardinality.
