Nominating article for deletion on notability grounds. The sources cited by the article describe the subject as a photographer and cite his photos ([1] [2] [3]), but are not based on the subject himself. The Huffington Post article cited [4] likewise refers to the subject as a photographer and quotes him, but the article itself is not about him and quotations of the subject are minor. The final source cited is owned by the subject [5] and falls under WP:COI. This article was previously nominated for speedy deletion by myself on notability and advertising grounds.

Delete as failing WP:GNG and WP:CREATIVE. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 05:51, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article contains numerous sources such as [6] [7] [8] which contain significant coverage about the subject, therefore the article passes WP:GNG. The articles do not have to only cover the subject alone to count towards notability. To use the inclusion standards outlined by nominator above would leave practically nothing that would count. Please see WP:NOTABILITY and WP:V. Antonioatrylia (talk) 06:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep because of enough ghits[9] including non-English sources. The subject is noatble and meets BLP criteria. Accuren (talk) 21:12, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

From my inquiry, none of the results provided by the search you linked turned up any results for the article subject. Most turn up a reference to Sandoval and nothing else.--SamHolt6 (talk) 22:50, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. None of the sources currently on the page provide in-depth coverage of Sandoval, as required to meet the general notability guideline. Google hits are not an indicator of notability. My own searches have found no reliable, independent sources where Sandoval is the subject or discussed in depth. Howicus (Did I mess up?) 16:49, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
