Francisco Martín Borque

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Does not meet basic coverage requirements of WP:PEOPLE, and has not received any awards. The few sources available are additionally in Spanish only (mainly one book findable on Amazon). He was co-founder of a Mexican supermarket chain, but the notability of that is not determinable in English sources. Prod contested, no reason given. MSJapan (talk) 00:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

 Keep -- From what I can ascertain, at least -- as according to the reference given in the corresponding article, he's the founder of Mexico's largest retailer. Doesn't matter if the only available sources are in Spanish. WP:PEOPLE states that to be notable, a person must be "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded". This person is significant enough. From what I've just learnt he's one of the top entrepreneurs in the history of Mexico. Here's an article about him in Spanish: ... and that book in Spanish is a biography. That's coverage. Obvious keeper.  Phnom Pencil  talk contribs 01:42, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
