@Citterz Sorry but this is not sufficiently explained which policy the subject does fail of - looks more like your personal opinion. Further it seems that you did not any Wikipedia:BEFORE search at all. Please make yourself comfortable with the AfD process. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:27, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

CommanderWaterford Just a typo mistake. I did WP:BEFORE clear and concise. Citterz (talk) 17:34, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

He's famous in Spain: many newspapers has covered his way, and he has appeared on TV magazines, too.. Please, don't remove him — Preceding unsigned comment added by Remitbuber (talk • contribs) Remitbuber Can you first clear your COI? Please explain what connection you do have with this person?

Comment. What exactly is the nominator's rationale for suggesting that the article be deleted? "Notable mathematical activist" sounds like a reason to keep the article, not to delete it. Nsk92 (talk) 00:59, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep per WP:SK#1 as the nominator has not advanced any argument for deletion or redirection. If the article should be deleted then a discussion should be started with a proper rationale. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:42, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: per WP:SK#1 CommanderWaterford (talk) 16:02, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
~~Speedy~~ Keep, per WP:SK#1, as it is still unclear why we are here and why the article was nominated for deletion. Nsk92 (talk) 18:15, 11 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Since an updated nomination rationale has been provided, SK#1 probably no longer applies, although I am unsure to what extent we are supposed to entertain an AfD nomination from a confirmed sock. In any case, as MarkH21 notes below, the subject satisfies WP:GNG and WP:BIO for his social activism. Apart from sources mentioned by MarkH21, there are others, e.g. [1] and [2].

Speedy keep. Bogus nomination. MarioGom (talk) 13:19, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The first editor (Remitbuber) and the IP 90.167.181.254 are creating this biography in several languages and linking it in general articles like es:Matemáticas or es:Activismo, a clear case of cross-wiki spam. It has been deleted two times on es.wiki already. -sasha- (talk) 17:24, 12 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: SK#1 is no longer valid with the later clarification by the nominator, but the nominator was later blocked and therefore should be discounted anyways. Independent of the validity of speedy keep criteria, the subject probably passes WP:GNG with significant coverage in Noticias de Navarra, El Mundo, and Diario Vasco. — MarkH₂₁^talk 01:38, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Brief bursts of news coverage may not sufficiently demonstrate notability. WP:SUSTAINED Weburbia (talk) 19:29, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever do you mean, "brief"? We already have examples of in-depth coverage from February 2020[3], July 2020[4], August 2020[5], December 2020[6], December 2020 [7], and April 2021[8], spanning over a year. That's plenty WP:SUSTAINED, especially for the subject who is just 16 years old himself. Nsk92 (talk) 19:56, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It turns out that the article creator Remitbuber changed the nomination text early on in this edit, which is what led to this whole hullabaloo (in addition to the nominator being a sock, of course). — MarkH₂₁^talk 20:31, 14 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
