Raúl Martín (bishop)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Zero citations since its creation in 2013. Fails GNG & NBIO. A BEFORE check shows the man exists, but only basic/brief mentions and no depth of coverage required to pass notability standards. Wikipedia is not a directory. Platonk (talk) 23:49, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep Verified at as a diocesian Roman Catholic bishop. I'm concerned that Spanish and Portugese language sources, along with place names and accents in the name, is making search for further RS difficult. Jclemens (talk) 00:13, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - as author - there is plenty of information available about the subject if you search outside the English language internet. Here is a Duckduckgo search for news items.  Here is a recent news item. Also look at the sources on es.wiki. All the best, Taketa (talk) 11:03, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Says the editor who for eight years (including today) still hasn't added a single citation to the article while presenting a blank DuckDuckGo search result and a link to a single interview (a primary source). Secondary or tertiary sources are needed to establish the topic's notability. Where's the beef? Platonk (talk) 18:30, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Does being a bishop confer automatic notability? Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Natg 19 (talk) 02:08, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep- Verified as a catholic diocesian bishop.Deathlibrarian (talk) 02:51, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment - Being appointed a Catholic Bishop does not automatically confer Wikipedia-level notability on a person. Subject doesn't pass WP:GNG nor WP:NBIO. There are many Catholic bishops who do not have a standalone Wikipedia article. Voting per WP:ILIKEIT doesn't change the fact of non-notability. Bring some citations or valid notability arguments to support your !votes. Platonk (talk) 03:21, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep. There are plenty of references in the corresponding Spanish article at https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_Mart%C3%ADn  Eastmain (talk • contribs) 07:06, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep Meets both WP:GNG since there is in depth coverage by multiple independent reliable sources and also meets WP:CLERGY as a bishop. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:27, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Besides the three sources at eswiki a simple quick search reveals plenty of independent reliable sources with in-depth coverage in Spanish. Examples: La Información, LaPampaNoticias, La Prensa, etc. --Crystallizedcarbon (talk) 10:35, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
