Mercado
Thanks for your note. All articles on Wikipedia have to follow some core policies. WP:Verifiability is one of them. It says that everything we write needs to be verifiable using reliable, published sources. Another policy, WP:BLP, requires that policies be enforced strictly on biographies of living people. As for the Mercado biography, there is a severe lack of published sources on his life. Perhaps on talk:Walter Mercado you could list some of the English- or Spanish-language sources that we can use for the biography.  Will Beback   talk    19:14, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Great. Preferably, the publications shouldn't be too obscure. Spanish language sources are fine.   Will Beback    talk    00:21, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
