Poor evidence of notability as a scholar or political figure. One paper has received some attention. Media coverage consists of mentions of the contents of that paper. Novangelis (talk) 16:40, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - fails every factor for WP:PROF. His best-cited paper is not that well-cited by other scholars, and is not even wrong. Being a guest of a couple of TV shows, or being mentioned in a couple of local business newspaper articles, do not add anything to a scholar's notability. If that were true, I want my own page.

 * Delete. The record and impact don't pass WP:PROF in my reading either.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 01:15, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
 * As the creator of this article, I imagine I am inherently biased towards saying keep. As evidence I would point to the fact that the Instituto Juan de Mariana, which he founded, has won the Templeton Freedom Award, which is criterion 2 for academics. Jinkinson (talk) 09:45, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Note. This is one of a series of minor awards funded but not given by the Templeton Foundation, and certainly not to be confused with the true and indeed highly prestigious Templeton Prize. In any case, the award went to the foundation, not the person. The subject himself fails the criteria.Truth or consequences-2 (talk) 16:09, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
