Lou Briel

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Delete Article was derived from Institute of Puerto Rican Culture website; notability is weak. Subject mainly won a talent show and simply due to that he is considered important by the article's author.--XLR8TION 20:44, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. Has no year of birth. Possibly fails criteria in WP:BIO.--Edtropolis 15:15, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm from Puerto Rico and the subject is well known here and in some Latin American countries. He is a singer, composer, has had a TV show for more than a decade I guess, etc. The article definitely needs work because somebody poured lots of data that is not NPOV, but I do think it must be kept.

 * Googleing "Lou Briel Puerto Rico" returns close to 1,000 results. Yahoo! returns close to 200. For whatever is worth. Thief12 03:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm also from Puerto Rico, I didn't write the original article but I've added some contributions.  I don't know his year of birth, but I'll try to find out and include it, if it's necessary.  The information in the article is quite correct, and it's not derivated from the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture website, www.icp.gobierno.pr,{Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña). Lou Briel's biography is not listed there, and it's not a biography website.  I do think it must be kept, also.--Entre-Nos 05:38, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I already found Lou Briel's birthdate and included it. I've cleaned the article, added some information, and eliminated the unnecessary wikilinks, , and some triple quotes,    .  Check it, it's worth it.  Best regards.  --Entre-Nos 09:15, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment, I would vote a "Keep" if the article is re-written within within Wikipeida's formatting style. The article needs sections, it should start with an introduction and so on. As it is, it is not up Wikipedia Standards. If it is worked on properly then I will reconsider. Tony the Marine 04:15, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, I tried to clean and organize the article as best as I could. However, I didn't check for sources. I basically worked with the data that was there. I also added an infobox. Any comments, feel free to leave them here. Thief12 15:21, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Cheers, Thief12. I was just about to edit when I saw your changes.  Excellent job.  There was just an error in his birthdate and I corrected it.  Congratulations.  Best regards:--Entre-Nos 17:50, 20 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - if the article is correct, he's a notable TV personality. The fact that the article is somewhat badly written is grounds for improving it, not deleting it. Korny O&#39;Near 15:34, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article has greatly improved since the last time I saw it. Tony the Marine 01:23, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
