Mario Terán

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The man who shot Che Guevara. WP:BLP1E, despite the somewhat recent human interest story of Cuban doctors restoring his sight - that too is only a reflection of the event that made him known. And unlike other killers of famous people, there doesn't seem to be much written about him apart of the account of the killing - probably because he has good reasons to keep a low profile.

 * Withdrawn per the improvements detailed below.  Sandstein   08:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong keep. Terán has received significant coverage for two events - the killing of Guevara, and the later restoration of his eyesight by Cuban doctors. Terán clearly passes the GNG on both these events. There is sufficient information available to write a much more substantive article than this, which I will attempt to do in the next few days. Such content would be inappropriate WP:COATRACK content if instead added to Che Guevara. CJK09 (talk) 19:12, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment – adding onto my previous rationale, I found a long, detailed interview of Terán in El Mundo, one of the most important newspapers in Spain. Additionally, see WP:WI1E and WP:BLP2E. There is a variety of coverage of Terán across more than one event, so BLP1E does not apply, and combined with the fact that the subject clearly passes the GNG, this article must be kept. I've started the rewrite and it should be done within the next day. CJK09 (talk) 17:42, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I have completely rewritten and significantly expanded the article. The article in its previous contained inaccuracies, unfounded speculation, and use of unreliable sources. In the rewrite I made sure to avoid those, especially due to the sensitive nature of this BLP. CJK09 (talk) 06:41, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , thanks for the rewrite. There's still not much substance to the biography, but at least we now know that he did receive some coverage beyond his role in the execution of Guevara. I'm withdrawing the nomination.  Sandstein   08:49, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
