Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:NBIO. Melcous previously identified that the article has notability problems over a month ago, and despite some attempts by the initial editor to rectify this and provide sourcing, two weeks later the article is no better off. There's a lot of mere-mentions of the subject in RS, but no in-depth coverage that would satisfy GNG. The awards that the subject has received are like-lists of "Young Leaders", which would not appear to be sufficiently notable to satisfy WP:ANYBIO. It is possible that as Undersecretary of Renewable Energy in Argentina, the subject qualifies for WP:NPOLITICIAN, but in my opinion this doesn't appear to be a high enough position to qualify for the guideline, given that the title appears to be well below the top level position in the Ministry of Energy at the national level. While searching for sources online, I was able to find, which does provide in-depth coverage. On closer examination, however, I can't find anything about the publication's editorial policies, and its parent organization appears to be some sort of PR firm or otherwise not an RS, which means that this article does not count toward notability. signed,Rosguill talk 15:02, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - While accomplished, searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage to show they pass notability guidelines. Kudos to on researching that one source.  I thought the fellowship at the Eisenhower Foundation might qualify them, but that does not appear to be the case.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:41, 16 November 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Needs discussion of what Coolabhapple posted.
 * Comment, plenty in the press of Kind (some mentions) eg. "Reforms bring Argentinian self-sufficiency closer" - a mention, "'We started Argentina's renewable programme from a blank sheet'" - "In an exclusive interview Argentina's renewables under-secretary Sebastián Kind gives Alexandre Spatuzza the inside story behind the country's clean energy push" (subscription required), from Windpower Monthly - "Influential... and interesting in 2017 WORLDWIDE: Who are the people making the big waves in wind energy? The staff and senior contributors of Windpower Monthly make their pick of the key movers and shakers from the last year.", "New market rules set to enable US$ 6bn in investment in Argentina's renewable power sector" - snip, "Argentina aims for $5 bln investment in renewable energy by 2018", "Argentina sees renewed push for geothermal energy development", and being an Eisenhower Fellow doesn't look like a minor achievement.

 * Weak keep I also found these:, , , , , . It's not massive coverage, but considering that he has a high position in the Argentinian government, was awarded an Eisenhower Fellowship, served as the chairman on a council of the International Renewable Energy Agency and was invited as a Global Leader by the World Economic Forum that pushes him over the notability edge in my eyes.
