Despite the appearance of being well-sourced to articles in The New York Times, sources used are actually just brief mentions, quotes, op-eds, or do not even mention Borges. Article reads like a vanity, author your own legacy page with link-bait to his social media profiles. CorporateM (Talk) 03:39, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I zoomed in on the poorly formatted New York Times references. Admittedly, all the references are poorly formatted. I found two references consisting of one sentence quotes as a spokesman for something, devoid of discussion of him as a person. One mentioned him in passing in a list of otherwise non-notable people. One didn't mention him at all. I used Google to search for significant coverage anywhere, and came up dry. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 06:54, 6 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
