*Speedy Delete - I agree with the above. I may take it upon myslef to do an article on the subject in the future, but in English. Tony the Marine (talk) 04:50, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep, in fact, because this is NOT a deletion reason at all. What you should've done is tagged it with "Template:Not English". I've used Google translate to very roughly translate the article, added a reference, and then we're left with a clearly notable player; he represented his country at the 1975 Pan American Games.

 * Also, please read WP:BEFORE, and check the edit history; this shows how the article started out; in English. Not only that, you nominated it for deletion THREE minutes after User:Elviin08 added in the first of the Spanish things. Utterly poor form.

 * Utterly poor form!? I was reviewing various Wikipedia articles when I came upon this one, and saw that the entire thing was in Spainish. Why not just move it on over, and create an English version? Besides, Google Translate is not a very good translator, and it would be better for an expert to do it.

 * An article not being in English is not a reason for deletion; otherwise, the template I showed you wouldn't exist. If I had happened across this article, instead of AfDing it three minutes after the content had been dumped in, I'd have checked the history, run a translate, and notified the editor who inserted the foreign language content that this was enwiki. If you look, that's exactly what I've done since. If I had more time, I could easily rework this, but I'm doing other things. See Pages needing translation into English, which, in fairness, I was unaware of as well, but a quick search found. Luke no 94  (tell Luke off here) 15:26, 8 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Speedy keep - no rationale for deletion (and it's in English now anyways). Ansh666 19:52, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - I changed my vote. As stated above, the article is now in English. I helped a little in some copyediting and the format. Tony the Marine (talk) 21:36, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
