Luis Otero (Magician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable magician lacking non-trivial support. Fails to show notability. red dogsix (talk) 00:12, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Appears to be a semi-notable to notable Latin-American magician who is very popular with his audiences. Spanish speaker needed to establish notability via reliable sources. Knox490 (talk) 01:04, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - Let's be clear, the only measure of notability is establishing the article subject meets the criteria in WP:N or associated criteria. Stating a subject appears to be notable has no bearing in this discussion.  red dogsix (talk) 01:14, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 * "Luis is a brilliant entertainer with a pack of cards. I have seen him on large stages and close up and his dynamic style always leaves the audience breathless.” - Jeff McBride (Wikipedia source)


 * "Recognized Latin-American artist. His vision of magic, from the deepest to the most superficial, their continuous studies, countless collaborations, and a lifetime of passion and work and magic, certainly place him in the spotlight of all those who love this art and make it prosper more and more. I really recommend his master lecture, far from being commercial, and focused on teaching, not just games, techniques, thoughts or ideas, but also a philosophy (almost become a way of life). No doubt who sees Luis Otero sees something different, fresh, original, entertaining and very magical.
 * I've seen him work a hundred times. I've seen him succeed a hundred times! I shared, dialogued, studied and worked with him, and so, from the virtue of being able to speak in first person, I assure that Luis, Mr. Otero, is the ideal mirror for everyone who wants further progress in this beautiful art with is magic." - Dani DaOrtiz


 * "Luis Otero is going to fool you. His ingenuity and cleverness, combined with sleight-of hand, create powerful pieces that will leave your audiences without any clue! Enjoy his magic, try it out and find out for yourself what I mean, because, above all, the material he will share is very very strong! And, on top of this, you will feel the true love for the study of magic as an art form that Luis so much cares about. All these qualities combined, make him more than an artist, make him a true magician at heart. If you know Luis, you know all I'm saying is true. If you don't know Luis, you are in for a real treat." - Helder Guimarães (Wikipedia source)


 * "Magicians like secrets, and magicians like surprises. So, I am sure that you will like Luis Otero, because outside of Latin America he is mostly a secret (but not for long), and his clever magic is filled with surprises, with ideas you can really use." - Max Maven (Wikipedia source)

 * Comment - First of all the website "http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7725" is hardly independent. References must be independent.  Beyond that, in order for an article to be retained in Wikipedia, the article must be supported by significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. The quotes above do nothing to meet the required support.   red dogsix (talk) 20:00, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: Article reads as a promotion. Search of magic books and periodicals through from Conjuring Arts Research Center fails to convinced me of notability PriceDL (talk) 15:48, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
