• Did your WP:BEFORE work include clicking on the link to look at the Spanish-language Wikipedia article? It's well-referenced. I was able to rather easily find this English-language book ref, which devotes a chapter to him. Anyway, as the Spanish Wikipedia article clearly states, he appears to be a notable Guatemalan playwright, academic, political figure... who then went on to pursue academic work in Cuba as well. The current state of our English article is very poor but the subject is notable. Keep. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 11:29, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

• I ask the nominator if he'd consider withdrawing this: despite the current state of the article, he seems manifestly notable per es:Manuel Galich, which also indicates that was the country's minister of education for a time, therefore meeting WP:POLITICIAN, as well.

Sources don't need to be in English, so this gives a clear pass of WP:GNG (as well as WP:POLITICIAN as noted by Shawn above). —David Eppstein (talk) 22:09, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
