  • Keep this and the other Pichilemu-related articles. Kraxler is disrupting the project to show a point: local stuff in non-first world countries does not matter. --Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 01:28, 6 September 2015 (UTC)Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 01:19, 6 September 2015 (UTC) // PS. Did you even try[1][reply]
  • Delete: none of the above sources contain significant coverage of this individual, fails WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. Vrac (talk) 14:27, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Vrac what about these? [2][3][4][5][6][7] These are all major sources about the topic (note, although I am the owner of the first website linked, I have no relationship with the subject of the article). Diego Grez-Cañete (talk) 20:44, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
While it is better that you've found some non-Pichilemu sources, the coverage in those are mentions where he is quoted or interviewed, with very little content on the individual himself. I'm discounting the Pichilemu sources who of course will cover their mayor in-depth but lack scope. Vrac (talk) 20:46, 8 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
An entity that itself has a population of about 40k. It has been translated as "province" but a closer equivalent in English would be county. A province is commonly a principal administrative division, which is not the case in Chile, whose principal administrative divisions are the regions. Vrac (talk) 18:35, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just being an elected local official does not guarantee notability. He never received significant press coverage. --Keysanger (talk) 18:39, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. Even the head of the subdivision itself would be deleted if it only had a population of 40,000 failing another reason to keep him. And that would be the case in Britain or America just as it would anywhere else. Leaders of British county councils don't generally have articles, for example, and they often serve a population of several hundred thousand. He just isn't notable enough. Sorry. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:51, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, fails GNG due to a lack of non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications. Regards, Yamaguchi先生 (talk) 22:33, 10 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
