 *  Speedy Keep - The Oregonian is a major newspaper, García, Mario T. (2014). The Chicano movement: perspectives from the twenty-first century. New York: Routledge. pp. 244–262. ISBN 978-0-415-83308-0, is published by Routledge, a multinational academic publisher, and the Oregon Historical Quarterly is a peer-reviewed academic journal, which are all WP:RS and support WP:BASIC notability. Beccaynr (talk) 23:29, 6 July 2021 (UTC) And specifically, the book noted above includes Sin Fronteras: An Oral History of a Chicana Activist in Oregon during the Chicano Movement, i.e. "This chapter focuses on the life history of Maria Luisa Alanis Ruiz, whose work in the Chicano/a community has left an indelible legacy on the Pacific Northwest."

 * Comment. Which sources, specifically, are you disputing? The major source appears to be The Chicano Movement, a scholarly book edited by Professor Mario T. Garcia of UC Santa Barbara and published by Routledge. pburka (talk) 00:15, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The Chicano Movement is a reliable source, and while I don't own it, I'm going to assume that it covers her in fairly significant detail considering that the article cites to it 28 times. Mlb96 (talk) 02:01, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. The chapter in the Chicano Movement appears to be an interview (the chapter title begins "An Oral History"), as do the material in We are Aztlán and also the Oregonian piece.  So these sources are in good part primary; other sources are quite a bit weaker.  OTOH, the interviewers believed the subject here to be notable enough as an activist to interview.  That is, the data of the actual interview is a primary source (useable only for non-controversial details), but the meta-data surrounding it I believe to be secondary.  I think it's weakly enough for WP:BASIC.  Like others here, I have not actually examined the text of most of the sources.  The article could use a good trim.

 * Keep: meets WP:GNG. FiddleheadLady (talk) 13:38, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Several of the sources are significant, reliable, and independent per WP:RS. –– F ORMAL D UDE ( talk ) 04:08, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
