 * Delete There is a British researcher, who was either a linguist or an anthropologist, named Roland C. Stevenson. He "was trained both in linguistics and social anthropology, having studied in the University of London at King's College , the School of..." according to a Google books snippet. There are a lot of Google books sources for Roland C. Stevenson. For this one, the Chilean Roland without the "C", I found and added a couple of namecheck sources, but there is not really much out there. --- Possibly &#9742; 09:18, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
 * There's a short documentary on him on Youtube, which shows him painting mostly naked women on horses. That's the only 'in-depth' source I saw.  --- Possibly &#9742; 09:44, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak keep Having seen the Portuguese language article, it seems the subject may be notable. I'm not proficient enough in that language, however, to make a translation and add the sources there are. --Kuatrero (talk) 20:11, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - I found more sources and expanded the article after using Google's translation button. The subject received numerous awards and is well known for his archaeological work as well as his artwork. There is clear evidence of notability. Sources can be found by searching just his first and last name. Passes WP:BIO and meets WP:GNG. -AuthorAuthor (talk) 18:40, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. While I am wary of WP:SYSTEMICBIAS, I am not seeing any in-depth source about his life or contributions. The best source here as far as I can tell is some announcement from a non-notable gallery that exhibited his works. Do correct me if I missed some betters source. Other than that we have a totally unreferenced list of awards that don't appear to be significant (at least, as judged by the fact none have an article on English or Portuguese wikis). The only reason I am not voting delete but weak delete is due to systemic bias - maybe he got some coverage in non-digitized Chilean sources? But that's just speculation (per WP:THEREMUSTBESOURCES). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:46, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. That there might be offline sources is not sufficient reason to keep, and nothing in the article as it is establishes notability. --SilverTiger12 (talk) 23:15, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete not enough citations to show notability. Peter303x (talk) 00:31, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
