 * Weak Delete - he seems borderline non-notable. He's mentioned in a few reliable sources, like this, but not in a personal context.  Maybe merge to his NGO articles? --Haemo 23:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 *  Weak Keep, seams notable enough.Callelinea 03:59, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions.   -- John Vandenberg 11:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep. I agree with Haemo that this is borderline but I think a short separate article is better than a merge in this case since the article could be relevant to several articles and it is better to keep the information on the individual in one single place. -- DS1953 talk  17:29, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Little presence on the internet. No Spanish Wikipedia article FWIW. On the other hand, seems to have collaborated with Amnesty, the UN, etc. From what info is available, Mr Ponce Silén has credentials comparable to scores of people I know personally - and I wouldn't put any of those people on Wikipedia. A very borderline case...--Targeman 00:25, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - seems this is on the borderline since other than the nominator, we're all a little on the fence here. :-) So why I land weakly on this side: there's no indication that any of his NGOs are notable, what they've done etc. If more of that information were available this could be a keeper, if it just doesn't exist because the NGOs are really not notable, then delete is the right way to go.

 * Delete Subject does not really pass the notability standard. As an aside, who sets up 27 NGOs ? That seems a suspiciously high number. Eusebeus 21:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - no reliable sources. A UN press release isn't sufficient -- Whpq 21:26, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Here is the best luck I had searching for him in Google news. A cluster of major U.S. newspaper articles in June 2004 mentioning him by name, one from June 2006 quoting him (the hit on the first search page is just some press release, I think, but it's also on page 7 from the Miami Herald and on page 9 from Agence France Presse), and some false positives for entertainers and sports figures with similar names. That doesn't seem like quite enough press for someone truly notable for this sort of activity. —David Eppstein 21:28, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per Whpq and David Eppstein. These sources are not "reliable" sources to establish his notability, and he would have more credible sources with information about him were he more notable. b wow en   talk • contribs  22:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
