This person is apparently deceased per, but there is no coverage of this in reliable sources. Looking at the sourcing more broadly, this appears to be a WP:BIO1E, with all reliable source coverage that is specifically about Sanchez being confined to coverage in March 2007 of the exposure of his prior career as a gay pornographic actor and his alleged wrongful solicitation of funds. His career as a gay pornographic actor does not appear to pass WP:NACTOR. Other sources in the article relate to Sanchez's journalism, which are either articles Sanchez wrote or only mention him in passing or not at all, which does not indicate notability. His activism at Columbia University is only covered by the local student newspaper, which doesn't indicate notability either.

The last deletion nomination was in 2008, and the discussions were in my opinion low quality, so I think this new nomination is justified. In the 2008 nom it was mentioned that Sanchez requested the article be deleted, though its obviously impossible to know if he later changed his mind in the decade afterwards.
