Contested prod. There is no indication that the subject is notable, based on discussion in reliable sources that are credibly independent of the subject. Also, the article is essentially just a resume. Sławomir Biały (talk) 18:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

I would like to ask to have the deletion of the page ANA SANTIAGO be reconsidered on the following grounds:

A. This person has founded and heads the only Impact Evaluation Network in Latin America and the Caribbean. This network is part of LACEA (http://www.lacea.org/portal/index.php), the most important international association of economists interested in doing research in the region. She is a permanent Honorary Member of LACEA, award given by her contribution to impact evlauation reserach and policy relevance for the region ( http://www.lacea.org/portal/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&phpMyAdmin=b883a10db6c19d415348047740f5c4b0&phpMyAdmin=f18f79e76e8f09c4b5c658d1db20ad3f).The contribution of founding the network is is widely referred to and attended by policymakers, governments, NGOs, and academics in the field. This contribution falls into the category "creative professionals" of the notability criteria, mostly 2 and 3 with c) of number 4:

"Creative professionals Scientists, academics, economists, professors, authors, editors, journalists, filmmakers, photographers, artists, architects, engineers, and other creative professionals: 1.The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors. 2.The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique. 3. The person has created, or played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work, or collective body of work, that has been the subject of an independent book or feature-length film, or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews. 4. The person's work either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums."

B. Further, this person is part of the very small team of persons that have been given the mandate from the Haitian government to redesign a major reform and reconstruction of Haiti's education system following the 2010 earthquake. This has been cited in other pages such as MARCELO CABROL

"Reconstructing Haiti's Education system after the 2010 earthquake: President Preval gave the Inter-American Development Bank, IDB the mandate to work with the Education Ministry and the National Commission preparing a major reform of the Education System in a 5 year plan. New Schools for Haiti (in French) 5year plan to reconstruct"

and PAUL VALLAS "After Haiti's 2010 earthquake, President Preval gave the Inter-American Development Bank, IDB the mandate to work with the Education Ministry and the National Commission preparing a major reform of the Education System in a . [New Schools for Haiti (in French)] [5year plan to reconstruct] 5 year plan]]; Mr. Vallas has been working with the Bank in this effort. For more information: Education Division Chief Marcelo Cabrol"

C. Finally, she leads the all the research and evaluation of one of the main Multilaterals (IDB) on Education topics, directly responsible for ongoing pilots and evaluations for over 200 million dollars. Part of this work has been taking the implementation and designing the impact evaluation of the Teach for America (national teaching corps) model to the region currently in place in Chile, Peru, Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. The evaluation design improves on the US evaluations so far, fac that has been recognized and cited in the region and outside (including the US and Europe) by Wendy Kopp, founder of TFA. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Uctpasa (talk • contribs) 18:52, 8 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. A person is notable if they are the subject of in-depth coverage in multiple sources that are independent of the subject (see the basic criterion at Notability (people)).  I don't see that in this case: all I see is a resume.  Sławomir Biały  (talk) 14:11, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

B. “ Next steps. In the coming months we will be using the research of our contributors and your feedback to write a "handbook for donors and recipients" outlining how progress-based aid could be implemented.

 * Delete Article is excessively promotional, so G11 applies. If not, notability is, not demonstrated, and a quick Gscholar scan produced an h-index of 10, which is really too borderline given the lack of reliable sourcing pointed out by nominator.  Ray  Talk 16:05, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
