Does not appear notable. Wrote one(!) paper and founded an institute that is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Viciously killed, but that doesn't give him biographical notability, I don't think. ScienceApologist (talk) 05:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep, as he received some attention in Spanish newspaper articles when he died: . Zagalejo^^^ 06:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

 * I'd like to point out that it's inaccurate to assume an institution is not notable because there is no WP article about it. It's equally likely no one got around to it yet as with so many other articles. _ Mgm|(talk) 11:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - proposed deletion is yet another example of the ethnocentricity of some editors. Keep for the sake of people who might be interested in him, the article does no harm. Esasus (talk) 14:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Not sure what this means? There is no corresponding article in the Spanish Wikipedia, so not sure how ethnocentricity can be claimed. 'Does no harm' could apply to any article! Parslad (talk) 20:24, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - there's unfortunately nothing notable (by Wikipedia standards) about this individual, although his death does sound tragic. ClovisPt (talk) 16:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per bio. Eusebeus (talk) 17:05, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep provides a fairly substantial obituary. Please note that only read the babelfish version; El Mundo (Spain) indicates that it should be a reliable source and scanning the current frontpage does not raise any redflags, but I am not actually qualified to make a solid judgment here. - Eldereft (cont.) 18:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete No nearly notable enough.--Peephole (talk) 18:46, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is an encyclopedia not a memorial or obituary service. -Atmoz (talk) 19:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Certainly not notable as a scientist, no sign of any papers in reputable journals. Manner of death might be notable, but I tend to agree with Atmoz above. Parslad (talk) 20:18, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Nonnotable scientist, and Wikipedia isn't a memorial, nor is it the news. His death alone shouldn't determine notability, and he isn't notable as a scientist, so he fails WP:N. Themfromspace (talk) 04:50, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
