a BLP and self-authored COI appears to be based on one source which is a book that covers 70 Cuban artists,. I am guessing this person is one of them. I could find no evidence of notability and additional sourcing is needed to comply with WP:BIO. Actually, it is unclear if this person is still alive. Sources seem to cover a sports person but that is not this person.

Three book length travel guides merely mention his studio (one has a paragraph identifying his studio). No biographical information found. . Steve Quinn (talk) 05:06, 22 January 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete, unless additional sourcing can be found. I agree that the blurbs for his galleries in commercial travel guides are not doing enough to establish notability here.  A keyword search of the Cuban Art in Exile text suggests his entry in that book is less than three pages long; being the only source we have, this is insufficient to establish notability.  Furthermore, the brief snippet I can preview of that entry suggests some worrying similarities to the the content that has been added here.  Can't say for sure that it's outright copyvio, but it looks problematic.  Lastly, some of the prose in the article is highly polemic, making a number of different accusations relating to persecution on the part of Cuban authorities without providing any kind of sourcing to back it up.  This is an issue under any circumstances, but only exacerbated if this is in fact a self-authored or COI piece, as seems to be the case.   S n o w  let's rap 06:54, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
