Alejandro Torres Menchaca

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of an actor, written suspiciously much more like a public relations advertisement than an encyclopedia article, and not supported by any reliable source coverage about the subject -- the sourcing here is entirely to IMDb, blogs, Facebook and his own self-published résumé on LinkedIn. As always, an actor does not gain an automatic entitlement to have a PR-toned article on Wikipedia just because he exists -- he must be the subject of substantive coverage in independent sources, verifying a claim of notability that satisfies WP:NACTOR, to earn one.

I reviewed the article and modified the language to be more partial and descriptive as an encyclopedia article.

I decided to add Alejandro Torres Menchaca after reading two articles in magazines that were published In the last month. and then looking him up in wikipedia to find more information and not finding anything.

I started my research on the internet, first I went to IMDb and verified his film history. There I found his acting biography written by Max Singer, I contacted Max Singer and he agreed to use this text on Wikipedia. I recently modified his words to make the article more partial.

Then I googled him and found the project "Pecado Original" and all the Paraguayan articles from Magazines and Newspapers talking about the movie and this actors work.

I also went online and verified there were actual ticket sales for the theater projects that are mentioned on his IMDb pro.

Finally i integrated the information on the two printed articles that talk about the projects Pecado Original, Rey and his work as an Entrepreneur,

One of the articles (Revista "Emprendedores") mentions Kinomark.com and how he started the project and failed and how he learned from his failure, It also mentions his Movie Pecado Original and Rey. The other article (Revista "Cine y Más") talks about his moving to LA and studying at Stella Adler and Lee Strasberg, It also mentions The movies Pecado Original and Rey.

I will keep updating the Wikipedia article as I find more electronic articles and news. Though the article is fully based on published information and there are online articles and references about most of the information.

All work relations and Projects can be verified on IMDb and on the cast lists of the plays he worked.Filmmexico (talk) 02:21, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
 * IMDb cannot support notability, in and of itself, in a Wikipedia article — it's permitted only as an external link, and not even as a reference for anything, per WP:IMDB/RS. Wordpress blogs cannot support notability; the cast list of a play on that play's own production website or a ticket sales website cannot support notability; Tumblrs cannot support notability. Of the sources you've listed here, the only ones that even count as acceptable references at all are the news articles, and even they all just namecheck his existence a single time while failing to be about him.

 * Weak keep, mentions him, and if the creator has also two articles about the actor in off-line journals, this should be sufficient. The articles obviously need to be cited, and if the article is kept, it would require some cleanup.--Ymblanter (talk) 07:40, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Not enough in-depth coverage to show they pass WP:GNG, and clearly doesn't pass WP:NACTOR.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:10, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
