Appears to fail notability. After doing a quick google search I failed to find more than 1 or 2 references with limited information. Kumioko (talk) 15:43, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * The subject may be just as Notable as Philip Vera Cruz, also active in the Delano strike, most of whose references are in books and not online. I suggest working with the anonymous editor to develop a better WP article. I have left two welcoming messages on his or her page at User_talk:75.50.105.191. I've also sent a message to the Kern County Library to see if they have any sources. Sincerely, GeorgeLouis (talk) 17:20, 5 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete or redirect - Although per WP:VER & WP:CITE, reliable sources need not be necessarily available online, I cannot find references for the individual except for a single brief mention on MSNBC, and no mentions in scholarly sources or in books. Often, even if the such sources are not available to read online, they are often cataloged online in a manor that allows researchers to find their print versions. Perhaps the article can be redirected to Delano grape strike, and only material referenced to reliable source(s) be merged as appropriate, without violating WP:DUE. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:19, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Note, there are two other editors who believe a merge would be appropriate. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:02, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - I agree that it lacks notability as it currently stands. A quick Google Books search by me on 2011-09-05 revealed no citations.  I also quickly search the indices in several books about the UFW which I own, including a history of the Delano grape strike, and found no mention. I cannot see how this article could be brought up to notability. - 16:14, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Perhaps MERGE parts into Delano grape strike. --Goldsztajn (talk) 17:43, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - I hate to see anyone's work destroyed, but this breaks a lot of rules. The personal recollection aspect is definitely inappropriate for a Wikipedia article, but even moreso without any acceptable sources. (I note here that i have not searched for sources to fix the article, i am relying upon the word of others.) The article cannot remain as is. I would like to see a merge, but how would some other editor know what parts to merge? Richard Myers (talk) 07:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge. Only notable for his involvement in one event (WP:ONEEVENT), so it should be merged to Delano grape strike. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:10, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
