 * Delete Not impressed by editors who remove AFD prior to the vote. If the links above are genuine then it should be in the Spanish Wikipedia rather than the English one. Maustrauser 05:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That is more of a personal attack than relevant to this question: the notability of the article does not depend on the WP-savvy of the advocates, nor even on their character. And please amplify why es: but not en: -- IMO, the assertion of relevance to English-speaking people, even if it is primarily via their command of Spanish, supports notability to en:. Also the apparent impact on how things are done in two predominantly English-speaking markets, and in another where English is, i assume, an extremely widely spoken second language.

Why other artist or latino celebrities:(Luis Miguel, Alejandro Fernandez , Juanes , Antonio Sanchez (Puerto Rican host) , Celia Cruz...) can appear in the English Wikipedia then? This is not fair! Gabriela01

 * Keep, there's no reason to relegate Latino media figures solely to the es.wikipedia. es.wikipedia hardly declines to write about North American media figures, eh? Also, the links establish notability. Adrian~enwiki (talk) 09:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, wikipedia is not just here to document the English-speaking world. Kappa 10:01, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Maybe start by deciding whether it's Jimmy Nievez, Jimmey Nievez, Jimmy Nieves or Jimmey Nieves? Flapdragon 13:25, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

For another of thousands of example tha prove my point, see: Roberto González Nieves

His real name or birth name is Jimmey Nievez, but he is Known in the industry, the media, and by his fans as Jimmy Nieves. It's like Daddy Yankee (Raymond Ayala), John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison, Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortensen),Tom Cruise is the stage name of {Thomas Cruise Mapother IV) and thousands of others... Can you imagen? With that name {Thomas Cruise Mapother IV) Tom, would never be famous!

My point is that he should be included in the English-speaking Wikipedia, encyclopedia as Jimmy Nieves.

Also Jimmy Nieves, was born in New York City (USA-Citizen), and speaks fluent English. He is a North American son of Puerto Rican emigrants. Remember that the United States was was formed by emigrants.

Isn't that enough?

Well here I have more references... "Enjoy":

But it is undeniable that as a result of the Spanish-American War in 1898 and the eventual transfer from Spanish Colony to US sovereignty (1898-1952) to Commonwealth (1952-present), the majority of the people of Puerto Rico feel pride in their nationality as "Puerto Ricans", regardless of the individual's particular racial, ethnic, political or economic background.

Asked about whether she felt Puerto Rican or not by a popular men's magazine, New York native model and rap singer Gloria Velez declared that "(she) was born in Long Island, (her parents) were born in New York, but (her) grandparents were born in Puerto Rico, so (she is) 100 percent Puerto Rican". Also, there are many of those who are half Puerto Rican that have publicly stated their pride in being Puerto Ricans, such is the case of Freddie Prinze, Tony Orlando, Sammy Davis, Jr., Freddie Prinze Jr., and Geraldo Rivera. This is a feeling shared by most (if not all) Puerto Ricans born outside Puerto Rico. Wilfred Benitez is another famous person who was not born in Puerto Rico but feels proud of being Puerto Rican. Many others are proud to be American citizens as well.

Some Puerto Ricans also refer to themselves as "Boricua." This term comes from the word "Boriken" (Borínquen) which was what the Taíno Indians called the Island of Puerto Rico.

C'mon now tell me your also going to take out Sammy Davis, Jr., from the English-speaking Wikipedia, encyclopedia.

By the way JLO (Jennifer López) is also half Puerto Rican. Another famous person who was not born in Puerto Rico but their parents are Puerto Rican. By the way... Isn't she gorgeous?

Jimmy Nieves with more than 20+ years of carrear in the Radio and TV Broadcasting industry and awarded by NYMRAD (Morning Stars 2005) and The New York Metro Air Awards, is very notable. Best Hispanic On-Air Personality - Music Format: http://www.nymrad.org/air.html Please don't tell me that Antonio Sanchez (Puerto Rican host), is more notable than Jimmy Nieves and Antonio Sanchez is included in the English-speaking Wikipedia, encyclopedia.
 * Actually, no, I personally don't think she is, but that's just me. And I agree with Zoe, he doesn't seem to be notable at all.  And as someone mentioned above, we do have other hispanics mentioned here, some even with stage names (Martin Sheen comes to mind).  If the article on Jimmy Nievez (or whatever) doesn't stand here, it's because he's not notable, not because there's some hidden agenda by anyone.  Strong delete.--み使い Mitsukai 16:07, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Also remember that NYC, is ranked the (Arbitron) # 1, Radio Market in the world. Only the best make it and Jimmy Nieves, made it in "Big Apple"!

The 6:00 to 10:00 am. slot (Morning Show), is the prime time and most competitive daypart of any station. In New York you go against the best including Howard Stern.

If that's not notable... Tell me... What it is?

Jimmy's # 1 Fan.

 * Delete, and meanwhile refactor the big long comments to the talk page. Stifle 23:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Jimmy is a very recognized figure in the NYC Hispanic community. I am a true fan of his show El Jangueo. Don't delete! This article should stay.
 * No vote yet, as arguments on each side leave much room for improvement. Googling
 * "Jimmy Nievez" OR "Jimmy Nieves" OR "Jimmey Nievez" OR "Jimmey Nieves"
 * i get "...88 out of about 220". Can one of the retention advocates explain that surprisingly low result -- BTW, please without expressing fan loyalty nor political arguments, they being valuable and interesting, but off-topic on this page. --Jerzy•t 19:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
