The result was delete. Normally I would consider relisting for a discussion with only a couple of commenters, but the evidence brought forward already strongly suggests a hoax rather than the sort of marginal notability that may need further vetting. RL0919 (talk) 22:16, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

I can't find confirmation that this writer meets any of the criteria listed at WP:CREATIVE. I came up empty handed when I tried to find reliable sources despite using a number of combinations of the subject's name and works. When you search the book title that supposedly "achieved critical acclaim and international fame" (i.e. Pequeña Infancia de la Niña Mariana), there are precisely three hits, Wikipedia and two mirrors.

 * Delete, and I'm going to go so far as to say that I suspect this is a nearly ten-years-idle hoax article, created in 2009 by a drive-by contributor with no other impact on the project. Nothing in this article appears anywhere. Searches for the putative subject's name, in various combinations with his country or professions offer nothing but obvious false positives. His internationally famous book? Nothing. The "movement" he co-founded? Nothing. There are quite a few people named "Federico Gude" but none with any connection to reporting on Salvadorean literature. Living in the Street is a challenging search term, but I can't find any evidence that there was ever a Chilean magazine by that name. Lengua larga (literally: long tongue) is a Spanish metaphor for gossip, so it's at least a plausible name for a periodical. However, there's no evidence of a Revista Lengualarga with that precise name, anywhere. Indeed, the only magazine named Lengua Larga predating this article's creation for which I can find any evidence at all is a 1980s Uruguyan erotic magazine...

 * This was pretty much my conclusion as well. -- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 22:38, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete:  Ponyo unearthed a good one here!  This was tagged as perhaps not notable and for lack of sources the day it was created, it only took us 9.5 years for someone to actually read it!  I wonder why it was created.  Perhaps there is a Carlos Godofredo Regalado that this was intended to be a joke about.  However, hopefully, not the one which is the subject of this March 2010 poem, which, as translated to English, says:
