Sebastián Serrano

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Most of the references are focussed on the company, not the individual, so it is possible as an alternative that  his company, Ripio, might be notable-- I am not sure, because many of the references are PR or notices. But it might be worth considering. As for the person, there seem to be no sources substantially on the person, except the Forbes interview. And that interview, as is customary, is essentially PR-driven, an excuse for him to say whatever he want to in orderto promote his company. We should nno longer accept this sort of material for BLP, just as we no longer accept it for companies, as specified in WP:NCORP, Some of the other material, is his self-written introduction to his talks, The question for notability is whether any of this is more than PR and mentions.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Not Delete Sebastián Serrano is a notable person in Argentina and in the Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency world. His profile is similar to Pierpaolo Barbieri, founder of Ualá. I replaced and added sources and added more information in order to prove relevance regarding his career and two of his most important developments, BitPagos and Ripio. As the articles states, he is one of the few developers who had created apps related to cryptocurrencies in Latin America. He is mentioned as a case study in two of the key books about Blockchain and Bitcoin technologies that were cited as sources and he is an authorised word in everything related with Bitcoin.The relevance of Sebastian can also be seen in the sources cited, which apart from the books, are from the most important newspapers of Argentina and the most popular Bitcoin news websites of the world. Sebastián is not merely a bussinessman, he is one of the most important Bitcoin specialist in Latin America and one of the most relevant influencers, according to the news website Techfoliance. --Tishoteles (talk) 23:01, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep The Spanish language sources (many of which are reputable newspapers) seem to offer clear profiles of Serrano that aren't passing mentions. The content of the page itself might delve too deeply into the details of each of his businesses, though. I don't think that takes away from the notability established in some of the cited sources.

 * Delete It does look like he is of some significance in the Argentian blockchain world. However, the sources presented in the article, in both English and Spanish, fail to be from RS or fail some other element that would confer notability. I agree that Ripio might be notable and if that article existed I'd recommend a merge or redirect there. But as it does not and he lacks coverage in the kinds of sources that establish notability here, we end up at delete. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 03:13, 21 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per Barkeep49. There does appear to be enough significant coverage for Ripio but not for its founder. Fails WP:SIGCOV.4meter4 (talk) 17:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
