Seems to be written like an advert... TJH2018 talk  16:40, 20 June 2016 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: this page does indeed read like a vanity page, full of puffery, or an advert. No less importantly, I do not see Vadillo as being notable at all. George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 18:13, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete This person is a non-notable figure in economics/business. The article should not have been unilaterally blanked though.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:24, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as I found some links but still nothing actually convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  06:35, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge/Redirect to Kelantanese dinar. Surprised not to see this suggested yet. Any claim to notability he has is connected to promotion and adoption of the gold dinar in Malaysia. And we have an article about that already in Kelantanese dinar -- and it already mentions him. He's covered in the Wall Street Journal, BBC, and several other sources in connection with the Kelantanese dinar, so a merge/redirect seems pretty straightforward. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 14:03, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete This is a blatant attempt at promotion of a person who is at best a BLP1E case. I would have called for a CSD G5 here had there been no significant edits by other editors. The original author was blocked for promotion and socking. See Sockpuppet_investigations/Thetruthexposed879/Archive. There have already been 2 AfDs. See Articles for deletion/Sheikh Umar Vadillo and Articles for deletion/Umar Vadillo. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 08:58, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep He is in the WSJ and BBC and has done significant work in the alternative currency world getting a state to use gold and silver as its official currency and having over a 1,000 businesses accept it. This does not read like an advertisement at all and his article just states what he has done and helped me to learn a little about him and his ideas.Ancientwisdomtoday (talk) 20:17, 10 July 2016 (UTC) — Ancientwisdomtoday (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
