Attempts to find sources were moot; nothing of him seems to exist, and the current sources are "email correspondence" -- ☽☆ NotCharizard (talk) 10:49, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I haven't yet done a BEFORE search to see if any sourcing exists, so will hold off on !voting for now; but I noticed that the article creator's user name is the same as his wife's name listed in the article "infobox" table. There is a ~~might be a~~ WP:COI. Netherzone (talk) 13:27, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I seem to be getting absolutely nothing for "Antonio R. Alvarez" in the more than 230 sources that I consult with a custom search engine, and Google gives me the Wikipedia page, and the Facebook and Instagram accounts for other people with the same name.

Delete Inadequate sourcing to meet notability for WP: GNG. Unreliable and not independent with email and wife in mind. NiklausGerard (talk) 21:36, 15 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete "email correspondence" as a ref is a first. This might even qualify for an WP:A7 speedy. Best, GPL93 (talk) 19:45, 18 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I've held off on this to research whether his company, Alvarez Conservation was notable (it's not), as a NYT article mentioned his business that worked to preserve documents damaged during the 9/11 attacks. This BEFORE search did not result in anything that could contribute to his notability as an artist or business person or corporation. He came late to his painting career (born in 1941, started painting in 2010) which is admirable; it may be a case of WP:TOOSOON but at this time he does not meet our criteria for GNG or NARTIST.

Delete. Not notable, and the sources are awful being emails and naturalisation papers. Pikavoom ^Talk 06:14, 20 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
