Apart from the fact that she lived and discovered 11 asteroids in 1968, we know nothing about the subject of this BLP, not even her first name, when she was born and whether she is still alive. The three conditions set out in WP:BLP1E are not met: RSs cover the subject only in the context of that single event, she is likely to remain an WP:LPI, and the event and her role in it did not get persistent coverage in RSs.

  • Delete. There is not enough here to justify calling it notable. Even the Spanish version of the article is vague about most things. It says "es o fue" (is or was), making it clear that there is no (or insufficient) information about whether S. Cofré is still alive. I also wonder where the "her" came from: the Spanish article says nothing to indicate whether S. Cofré is a man or a woman. Athel cb (talk) 10:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As to whether she is (or was) indeed a woman, I managed to find this: Como particularidad cabe señalar que otra mujer, S.Cofre, es co-descubridora del planetoide ("Notably, another woman, S. Cofre, is a co-discoverer of the planetoid.", DeepL translation) [1]. Gitz (talk) (contribs) 13:18, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Good for you. I did some searching, both for her name on the web and on the Universidad de Chile website, but I didn't find that. On the other hand, something I failed to notice earlier, is that the Spanish article says "un astrónomo" suggesting a man, but although a woman biochemist would always be una bioquímica, not un bioquímico, I don't know if the same practice applies in astronomy.

  • Comment: if the decision is to delete, then I recommend a redirect to List of minor planet discoverers where this person is already listed. Praemonitus (talk) 16:54, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect seems fine. Perhaps adding the name to the Women in Red list for the country would help, I've seen some pretty amazing stuff happen when people get digging for sources there... Oaktree b (talk) 14:34, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
