Adragon De Mello

 * – ( View AfD View log )

BLP concerns. The coverage is largely about Agustin De Mello (the article subject's father) and his treatment of his son. All indications indicate Adragon is a low-profile individual. User:力 (power~enwiki, π,  ν ) 23:26, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep While it is impossible to separate the influence of his father in the early part of his life, the sources cited run from 1988 to 2007, indicating sustained interest over nearly 20 years. The subject was high-profile enough in the late 1980s to be discussed in the context of Gifted education. WP:LOWKEY does mention Profile change over time, allowing that someone can be low profile now, but was much higher-profile early in life. Autarch (talk) 14:44, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep The sheer number of news stories about De Mello warrants keeping, as he was a public figure for a span in the 1980s and 1990s. His case is a divergent one among entries of child prodigies. Slugmaster (talk) 19:50, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable person, even if just because his father forced a boy to become a child prodigy, who was indeed intelligent but not actually uniquely so. Out of BLP concerns, we can remove the information about working at Home Depot, his family, etc. I already did so. But the trimmed-down article remains. WIKINIGHTS talk 20:51, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
