Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NPOLITICIAN. The subject's highest political post was vice-president of of Bolívar Canton, Carchi, a local government position in Ecuador. The lone source attached to the article just mentions that a bust was erected in his honor in his hometown of Calceta, I was unable to find anything more significant, although given that he died in the 1970s, any likely sources are probably going to be print copies of Ecuadorian local newspapers, which I do not have access to. The article also appears to have been written by a relative of Félix's, given that they uploaded an old photo of the subject and claimed it as their own work._signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:29, 2 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The canton is a local level of Ecuadorian government, not a provincial/state level, so there's no automatic WP:NPOL pass for its vice-presidents just for existing as local officeholders — and notability is not inherited, so he's not automatically special just because a couple of his children went on to hold more NPOL-passing roles. But neither is this article referenced well enough to get him over the hump he actually has to clear — "major local political figures who have received significant press coverage". We do not keep poorly sourced articles about people who don't clear any SNG just because it's possible that better sources might exist in places that almost nobody who's actually active on Wikipedia has the ability to check — the onus for showing that he actually has enough coverage to clear the notability bar for local figures is ultimately on the creator of the article and not on everybody else. And no, the Spanish article (which was created by the same editor a few months ago) isn't referenced any better, either, and should probably be listed for deletion there as well if anybody with better Spanish language skills than I've got is willing to tackle it.
