Fails both WP:PROF and the mention of swine flu is only one event. MacMedtalk stalk 03:33, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep The swine flu is irrelevant. Solis was Curator of the National Anthropology Museum, not just any curator, but THE Curator. 6. The person has held a major highest-level elected or appointed academic post at an academic institution or major academic society. He does not fail the WP:PROF test.  He has also presented at major archaeological meetings. --Bejnar (talk) 06:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep By "the" curator Bejnar means Director of the NMA. He wrote a couple of dozen books and dozens of articles and was a professor for several universities and colleges and participated in some of the great archeological discoveries of the 20th century. I added a reference with a more balanced look at him than the swine flu silliness. http://www.artdaily.org/index.asp?int_sec=2&int_new=30490  The nominator may wish to withdraw this request because it's going to snow.

 * Keep The combination of the books/articles he has had published, his academic career and his position at the NMA seem to provide strong grounds for notability (note: I created the article). TigerShark (talk) 10:23, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep, and quickly at that. Solis Olguin was one of the pre-eminent Mesoamericanist scholars from Mexico in the 20thC, of international renown. Even disregarding his latter directorship of Mexico's premier archaeological museum, his academic and research career achievements—author or editor of 30-odd books, a couple hundred journal papers, etc—are merit enough on their own. I understand the nominator may not have realised who he was, and the article's unfortunate focus on the bizarre media hoopla surrounding the circumstances of his death might've misled. But I strongly recommend withdrawing this nomination, it's embarrassing enough having coverage of his achievements reduced to noting the misreports on cause of death, let alone having it tagged for deletion at such a time. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 14:27, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree, it is embarrassing to have this listed here. I hope a tabloid or blogger doesn't pick up on it as evidence of how the encyclopedia functions. Drawn Some (talk) 20:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
