Although there are a great deal of claims of notability, there are no reliable sources for the claims. Corvus cornix 21:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - definitely could be sourced. I found these, in just a short poke around:
 * http://www.guitar-gallery.com/ip/gerundino_fernandez.html
 * http://www.azstarnet.com/public/commerce/zavaletas/greene/bios.htm
 * There's also a ton of site that mention him, and his guitars appear to be used by some notable Spanish singers. Given that most of his sources would be in Spanish, which makes them much harder to find, I'd say we should give this fellow the benefit of a doubt - and clean-up.  --Haemo 21:45, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A book about the guy has been published by a Spanish university publisher. The mayor of Almeria presented the book, referring to Gutierrez as to "one of the most important and internationally acknowledged Spanish guitar makers of recent times" . Moreover, according to this site in English, beside being "perhaps the finest luthier of all time", in 1988 he was awarded a UNESCO medal for his merits (confirmed here). Most references are in Spanish, but he's cited admiringly in various English blogs and commercial sites. Stammer 06:44, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
