Poorly made article about a non-notable person. I'm nominating at AfD as the "links" seem to be some sort of general citation, and to clear up any doubts about the subject's notability. It may also be worth noting, that while "Oscar Martinez" is the name of a character on the US version of "The Office", this person probably exists.

Keep pending a verifiable reference or two. I've had some trouble finding enough references to provide proper sourcing for an article (Spanish-language sources may have more to offer), but there's a plethora of links describing him as a "legend" in Tejano music. As an inductee of two different Tejano music Halls of Fame (ref to one of them here) he should easily pass WP:MUSBIO point 7 as "one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style". The article needs a lot of work, but notability should not be a problem. --Finngall ^talk 21:16, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, if somebody can provide a reliable source about Martinez, I will withdraw my nomination. Novato 123chess456 (talk) 03:55, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and Inprove. He seems to be a major figure in Tejano music. Many of the relevant sources will be in Spanish and only in print, not on line.John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:52, 1 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Easy Keep - more notable than just about any music bio of the latest 2014 hits. I easily located several English sources and added them. There are more in Spanish and not online no doubt. In ictu oculi (talk) 04:30, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
