 * Delete. Can't find notability. Reads like a U of C Press Release. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:24, 28 September 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete. 12 years after this heavily-promotional bio was created by a single-purpose editor, his faculty profile still lists him as an associate professor with one book. That's not success by academic standards. The book has four reviews on JSTOR  , enough to be plausibly notable itself but nothing special. So if there were an article on the book we could redirect to it. But even if another book with other reviews turns up (the only candidate I found is  and I'm pretty sure that's a different Mario Santana), giving enough for WP:AUTHOR, the promotional and dated content of the current article makes it not worth saving. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Eppstein. Would need another book to make the cut. Haukur (talk) 08:51, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per David Eppstein. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 14:38, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Foreigners in the Homeland. The book is notable and can be expanded from the reviews. Sourceable information about Santana can be added to a section about the author there.Thsmi002 (talk) 19:01, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment. The book has been deprodded with a vague explanation. Xxanthippe (talk) 01:04, 30 September 2019 (UTC).
 * Delete The absence of WP:RS apart from the university is why this is not a notable subject.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 02:54, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * delete There is no significant independent coverage of him and I don't see anything that shows he's a notable academic.Sandals1 (talk) 14:47, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
