Esteban Núñez Meléndez

I contested the PROD by Canterbury Tail. Reason given for the prod was: "Not entirely sure if the subject is notable. The article says they wrote many works, but doesn't say what they where or if they where notable. Also much of the article is currently in Spanish." My reasons for contesting the prod are in the comment below. CronopioFlotante (talk) 14:03, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment I think that Esteban Núñez Meléndez may be notable per WP:PROF. The fact that the University of Puerto Rico named the The Garden of Medicinal Plants at the Medical Sciences Campus after him (source) could be interpreted as a variant of WP:PROF#5. So my question is the following: is this a valid interpretation of criterion #5? --CronopioFlotante (talk) 14:16, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Let's do the counting on our fingers GS h index come to 3 so fails WP:Prof #1 on this basis. Is the Garden of Medicinal plants sufficient? Xxanthippe (talk) 03:56, 9 September 2009 (UTC).
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Weak delete. Google book search finds a brief bio in Puerto Rico, figuras, apuntes históricos, símbolos nacionales by Esther M. Melón de Díaz (1972, revised ed. 1975), and also earlier in Biografías puertorriqueñas: perfil histórico de un pueblo by Cesáreo Rosa-Nieves and Esther Melón de Díaz (1970). I don't consider these independent enough from each other to satisfy the requirement of multiple sourcing in WP:GNG and there's little evidence that he passes WP:PROF. (No, I don't consider naming a garden after him to be enough, though it is an honor.) —David Eppstein (talk) 06:12, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as further evidence of notability has not emerged. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:24, 11 September 2009 (UTC).
 * Delete since the consensus is that the naming of a garden is not an instance of WP:PROF#5. --CronopioFlotante (talk) 16:23, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
