Comment: Spanish politician and academic. First President of the Canary Islands after the establishment of the autonomous communities system and pioneer LGTBI politician. I expanded the article, although copyedit may be necessary.
Overall: The article has been nominated to appear in the In the news section. The article's prose has been expanded five times and there are no copyvio concerns. The hook is interesting and cited to a Spanish-language source. QPQ isn't necessary. Everything checks out. RIP. Lefcentreright Discuss 13:16, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
@Lefcentreright and Alsoriano97: I am unable to confirm that he was a first clearly stated and cited in our article. I see the bold claim in the lead but not the body. Our article says: After coming out, Saavedra joined Miquel Iceta as one of the first openly gay politicians in the history of Spain to hold certain high public officesBruxton (talk) 15:57, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
@Bruxton: Thank you for your observation. It is more a failure in the explanation. Iceta was the first politician to openly declare his sexual condition but he did not hold high public office until 2021. Saavedra, on the other hand, although he came out few years later, was the first to hold important political positions (since the 80s) like regional president, senator and minister. I have to fix this. _-_Alsor (talk) 16:19, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
