Alejandro Sarabia Gonzalez[edit]
- Alejandro Sarabia Gonzalez (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Director of a Museum in Central America. The article attempts to assert notability using sources, however, the sources fail WP:N - they are not about the man himself, rather, they mention him in passing. There is also a worrying assertation made on the talk page that the article was written by his wife. The article creator has been making several dozen articles about low-ranking members of the Mormon church, nearly all of whcih have been AFDed or speedied.

- Delete per the above. I believe this particular article was created to add legitimacy to sources used at Archaeology and the Book of Mormon - in reality, this person is not notable. --Descartes1979 (talk) 20:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The New York Sun article establishes notability. The references to Alejandro Sarabia Gonzalez are more than "in passing". -- Eastmain (talk) 20:58, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The New York Sun article is about the opening of a sealed cave under a mexican pyramid. Very weak claim to notability to satisfy WP:N. Equendil Talk 22:08, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete on basis of ref's supplied which don't seem to actually mention subject, except in passing as in charge of the dig, the excavation might be notable but there are no grounds to think he is. -Hunting dog (talk) 22:27, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per nom, Equendil and Hunting dog. VG ☎ 00:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as non-notable per above comments. He's also not particularly notable within the LDS Church, where you'd think he would be, if not in the archaeological community. Good Ol’factory (talk) 21:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- delete Google scholar turns up three apparent hits (written by AS González, A Sarabia González & S González) but no citations. No evidence of scholarly impact sufficient to pass WP:PROF. Pete.Hurd (talk) 01:48, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's important to remember how Spanish surnames work, so searching on "Alejandro Sarabia" is necessary also. One gets a little more at gscholar and gbooks with "alejandro sarabia", but still not really enough for WP:PROF; but there are 50 gnews hits for teotihuacan "alejandro sarabia" ; 74 articles in total; this may suffice, don't have the time now to scrutinize them, or the 900 google hits for that search.John Z (talk) 05:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Pete Hurd and the other comments above. --Crusio (talk) 08:25, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
