Luis Sandoval

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have carried out a few quick searches and checks for this person but cannot really find anything to conclusively prove notability. Possibly most of the sources are in Spanish, which I do not read. What confuses the matter is that there are a number of Luis Sandovals in Google results as well as linked to from several articles - there seem to be at least three separate sportsmen by this name (a footballer, a boxer or wrestler, and a volleyball player) and a former prison guard, in addition to the reporter. This is outside my area so I'm raising for discussion, with no objection to retracting the nom if notability can be shown. Mabalu (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep (and improve). It's an unreferenced WP:BLP at the moment, but he's a notable presenter of a nationally known television show. Do a web search for "luis sandoval despierta america", there's loads of coverage in WP:RS. For more help with this, you could ask at WikiProject Mexico.

 * Hi Dai Pritchard - sich as? I Googled, filtering out Wikipedia, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc, but only seemed to see results along the lines of interviewer/presenter credits, nothing actually about the presenter himself. He sounded like he ought to be notable (hence why I AFD'd) but I couldn't see anything very convincing when I searched. News hits weren't very reassuring either. You may say that "loads of coverage" exists, but I ask, "where?" Mabalu (talk) 15:44, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Hi, I'll add some references, thanks. Dai Pritchard (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much - I looked, but the sources still seem a bit flimsy to me as support for Sandoval's notability so I'd really appreciate a second/third opinion. Mabalu (talk) 16:14, 19 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Dai Pritchard - Thanks so much for your speedy response to this. The Emmy nominations do convince me that he deserves an article, so I will happily withdraw. Thanks! Mabalu (talk) 16:21, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome! It did take some digging: there's an awful lot of fluff and Twitter and YouTube malarkey to trawl through on the way. :-) Dai Pritchard (talk) 16:25, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
