The article does not meet WP:GNG or WP:BASIC. From WP:NPEOPLE: "For people, the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be "worthy of notice" or "note"—that is, "remarkable" or "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded"". Source in the article and WP:BEFORE revealed no additional WP:RS containing material that meets WP:SIGCOV: ""Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail" that would contribute to demonstrating WP:N. None of their achievements meets WP:NACADEMIC. // Timothy :: talk 21:11, 14 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Timothy, I understand why Curiel Merchán may be considered non-notable on the English Wikipedia site. Of course, as a Spanish folklorist he is unsurprisingly better known in Spain (see Spanish Wikipedia: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marciano_Curiel_Merchán). As you kindly suggested on my user talk page, perhaps it would be best to move this English page to the draft space, not delete it entirely.

Apologies for adding, I wanted to expand the number of Mexican/Spanish biographies on the English site. He is definitely interesting,just better-known in Spain.

Thank you, intoto99. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Intoto99 (talk • contribs) 10:46, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Hi Intoto99 I hope you continue to work on this article and would support moving it to Draft if you think it can be improved. I looked at Spanish Wikipedia before nom and didn't see any sources, but I'm open to the idea there might be sources I can't find. I agree expanding the number of Spanish bios here is a very worthwhile goal and hope you continue here. We lack individuals with your perspective and skills and I know you would be a very welcome contributor. Best wishes and greetings from El Pueblo de la Reina de los Angeles. // Timothy :: talk 20:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify Per the creators feedback above, I support moving this to Drafts so they can have time to attempt improvement. // Timothy :: talk 20:07, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
