Meets neither WP:GNG nor WP:NSCHOLAR, in fact, he allegedly committed suicide just because of his lack of accomplishment.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:29, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:NSCHOLAR is mostly geared toward scholars and academics who are currently alive and active. Someone who died in 1935 is best evaluated as a historical figure. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 21:51, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. As XOR&#39;easter says, with someone working this long ago, it isn't very meaningful to judge by WP:NPROF.  His case for notability as a historical figure looks strong: there is an in-depth MacTutor biography, which I certainly believe to be an independent reliable source; indeed, this might suffice on its own.  And I viewed the Cálculo Diferencial: Fundamentos, Aplicaciones y Notas Históricas source from the article, and the profile of him there also looks like significant coverage.  I think that's enough for a keep.  I'll also mention multiple sources from UNAM .  He appears to have been somewhat significant in developing modern mathematics in Mexico; also in the teaching of the history of mathematics in Mexico.

 * Keep per WP:GNG (more appropriate for an academic from this long ago than WP:PROF, which is aimed at more modern norms for recognizing academic achievement) and per the MacTutor and second UNAM links given by Russ Woodroofe, both of which are in-depth reliable sources. MacTutor cites the UNAM source, so the two are not altogether independent, but it also cites two other published journal articles (one having the subject's name in its title), which strengthens the case for GNG. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:59, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as the two !votes above have argued. There's enough sourcing available for a biography on a historical figure. XOR&#39;easter (talk) 07:35, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Sotero Prieto was a professor at UNAM, there are sources and references of prestige, and developed an intellectual and pedagogical work with students of level, in addition to creating an important section in the subsequent National Academy of Sciences of Mexico.--Fittipaldi92 (talk) 09:43, 15 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep under WP:GNG, as already been said. -Kj cheetham (talk) 23:24, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
