Unencyclopedic NN subject as per WP:CREATIVE. Major contributor removed tags from article. Possible COI as its main contributions on Wikipedia are solely based on the subject even on the Spanish Wikipedia. Loukinho (talk) 22:20, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: I would consider someone who repeatedly translates work from major artists notable, provided they are given the assignment by the publisher who has the right to the books (not self-publishing unauthorized translations). Problem is, I know too little Spanish to figure out which is the case here. Anyone? - Mgm|(talk) 22:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Although translations are not one of the criteria for notability, it is also important to notice that many of the works he translated are already public domain whose copyright expired and no publisher can claim the rights of the books. Considering also that this is not one of the criteria, subject fails to distinguish itself from other poets and thus, fails to achieve notability. -- Loukinho (talk) 23:06, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. My Spanish is also not good enough to be able to evaluate sources properly, but this would appear to be a reliable source. It is, however, the only one I could find. Phil Bridger (talk) 16:21, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm sorry but there's no indication of notability here. Intro says he's a poet.  Does that in and of itself qualify for an encyclopedia entry?  If someone wants to save the article it should be rewritten from its present state as a resume and establish notability.  Has his work been reviewed?

 * Delete doesn't meet the general notability guidelines. RMHED (talk) 20:19, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
