Deletion of J. Manny Santiago

Comment: I've sent a note to the editor that created and has been working on this to see if the article is a candidate to be userfied. I wish we would not jump all over new editors with deletion notices, particularly when the article is not a blatant advertisement. There was zero effort to use  such as querying the person on their, or the article's, talk page about what makes the person notable and then asking about available references. Ideally they decide for themselves that the subject is not notable. Newbies need guidance and not doors slammed in their faces
