everything is sourced to press releases or otherwise primary sources aside from the Canadian award which doesn't appear to be notable. I would think that someone who qualified for such a high level sporting event would also have coverage but a search of newspaper archives gives nothing in terms of coverage.

• Keep The article has been updated with new references that prove the validity and notability of the subject with respect to the Canadian record being broken. Furthermore, there are Mexican newspaper articles that serve as secondary sources dating back to 1993-1997 that are not available online that have been listed under references. Alexlapaz (talk) 00:56, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah you've still failed to add an independent reliable source.Praxidicae (talk) 01:28, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are various Spanish newspaper dating from 1993-1997 which are secondary sources which are not available online. Is there a place where they can be uploaded to? Furthermore, are the cited references such as newspapers that can be found online not reliable sources? As well as the articles from the Athletic Canada. Alexlapaz (talk) 01:40, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep There are more reliable sources that were not included here before such as Mexican Independence Day in Canada and Alca Toronto — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gabrielkfc001 (talk • contribs) 03:33, 23 January 2020 (UTC) — Gabrielkfc001 (talk · contribs) has only contributed to the article(s) under discussion for deletion and this XFD page.creffett (talk) 04:14, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Appears to be WP:TOOSOON for the subject to have an article. I was only able to find two sources, one a passing mention and one a feature, both which are already cited in the article. Missvain (talk) 18:03, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here is another online source (page 15) that was added to the article https://issuu.com/alexlapaz/docs/11january2020novedadesquintanaroo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlapaz (talk • contribs) 20:32, 23 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I found two more sources that are not mentioned in the article which I will edit to add: ^[1] page 2 and ^[2] page 4. Countrychick56 (talk) 00:09, 24 January 2020 (UTC) — Note: An editor has expressed a concern that editors have been canvassed to this discussion. [reply]

The subject meets notable criteria WP:NTRACKI would expect other editors to look at the references, check them out and then decide. If I didn't think the subject was notable I would not have created the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexlapaz (talk • contribs) 19:53, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think the article meets the notability criteria as detailed here WP:MUSIC — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sachi bbsr (talk • contribs) 21:56, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I'm seeing newspaper articles as recent as this morning talking about this artist^[3] Jlatos (talk) 04:21, 28 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete All these fake keeps are obvious, the subject is not notable. Please request for a sock puppet investigation on the accounts who are requesting to keep the article. Angus1986 (talk) 01:48, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom and Missvain, and I encourage the closing admin to take a look at the contribution history and account creation dates of most of the keep voters. creffett (talk) 16:08, 1 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I think we can keep the article since the artist has verified Google panel and his own record label. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gulyora9920 (talk • contribs) 17:13, 3 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A Google panel says absolutely nothing about notability, and "his own record label" in this case simply means that he self-publishes his own music. --Slashme (talk) 09:47, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep it follows WP:GNG and criteria #1 for WP:SINGER because it has reliable sources. The creator of this article may or may not have sockpuppet accounts if the creator does the article should be deleted, according to the criteria for speedy deletion WP:G5. JaneciaTaylor (talk) 22:36, 8 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Wow, the sockpuppets are strong with this one! I've reviewed the sources in Spanish thoroughly and can safely say they're ALL promotional press releases. There is no coverage beyond these releases whatsoever. He does not fulfill any of the artist criteria either, e.g. charted in any national charts, that I could search for. Clear delete, and these socks need to be taken care of. PK650 (talk) 23:20, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect PK650 the Sockpuppet investigation was closed as none of the accounts that want to keep the article are sockpuppets. Additionally I would like to apologize on your behalf to all the editors that you are insulting. It is such behaviour on Wikipedia that discourages younger editors to contribute but of course you do not care about that.Alexlapaz (talk) 00:14, 13 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep. I found a few sources on Google such as this and it looks like the subject is notable, but I'm on the edge. The page is also missing these two links [1] and https://mexicanday.ca/lineup].In2020 (talk) 05:43, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: he seems to be non-notable as a musician, with no independent sources. You can find someone self-publishing music on every street corner nowadays. As a sportsman, he seems to be at best marginally notable, but his sporting achievements aren't even mentioned in the lede, which makes this article seem even more promotional. I guess the fact that there's no eswiki article about him is not relevant to a deletion discussion, but it still feels a bit strange that a Spanish-language artist first gets an article in enwiki. --Slashme (talk) 09:47, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
