La Tormenta

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article lacks of notability, a quick google search doesn't show a lot of English article about it. Fangfufu (talk) 00:55, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I think on English Wikipedia, notability should be mainly, if not only, be judged on English search results. I think if it does not appear in any English third party sources, most English speaker would not know about it. Otherwise someone else would have wrtten about it in English.

 * Wikipedia as a whole is supposed to pander to everyone, not only English speakers. That type of argumentation would only lead to propagation of systemic bias. --Sky Harbor (talk) 05:59, 25 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment How is notability contingent on English-language sources alone? Just because this is English Wikipedia, it doesn't mean that foreign-language sources are less notable than English ones.  A quick search on Google Colombia led me to a source from Colombia's version of TV Guide.  Likewise, the Spanish version can be translated. --Sky Harbor (talk) 02:28, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I forgot to do this earlier: change my vote to keep. I'll try to translate a bit from the Spanish article. --Sky Harbor (talk) 07:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep- AOL.com has a feature on La Tormenta. The majority of the sources are in Spanish, but WP:BIAS says that "availability of sources is not uniform". You always can use translate.google.com.--Jmundo (talk) 07:25, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. No-brainer, 216 episode run on Telemundo = easy notability. I'll find a couple of sources and add them to the article. While English language sources are to be preferred, I know of nothing in policy or guideline that excludes foreign language sources. Obviously, if we don't know what they say, they are of little use, but most of the various foreign language projects have people who can translate if need be. See generally WP:NONENG.

 * Strong keep. English Wikipedia is an encyclopedia about the whole world that happens to be written in English, not an encyclopedia only about the English-speaking world. Any equivalent TV series in an anglophone country would be consired notable enough to have articles about individual episides, characters, etc. so surely we have room for an article on this whole series.
