Deletion of Juan Manuel Rodriguez (writer)

Comment: Yes, Rodriguez has published several books and articles. But noone has produced reliable sources that they have won significant critical attention or has made a significant impact per  or , apart, that is from this one controversy. Possibly reviews have been published, (in Spanish language sources?), but this needs to be demonstrated before claiming notability for anything other than the Man of Ashes incident.   Unless other sources are found, we are basically dealing with a | BLP article about a person notable only for one event; the policy specifically points out the dangers of an unbalanced, POV biography where we have very little evidence '''about''' Rodriguez  with which to write balanced article. Unless other independent sources (reviews etc) appear about the notability of his books, scholarship or the author himself, the appropriate action is to delete the article, especially given that the creator argues for this. Maybe the article could be renamed the Man of Ashes controversy, but given that all the information cited is already in the Salomon Isacovici, it does not seem particularly necessary

Comment: This is a tricky one.  While I am conscious about systematic bias here, it is quite difficult to obtain secondary references ''about'' this man, which is what we need to write a biography.  The article was created, likely |by the subject, in order to further an |external dispute.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive588#Salomon_Isacovici_Autobiography_-_Man_of_Ashes.2C_an_old_dispute_wants_to_use_this_forum_to_revive_falce_claims.

Comment: Clearly a prolific author and an academic.  Per , he would be a dead-cert keep if he had played in just one ballgame at professional level, even if he had been brought on as a substitute in the last five minutes of the game and never got near the ball ... yet here we have a man who is not just a professional academic, but a professor.  He has both published widely in his field ''and'' been a prolific writer of fiction. Deleting this article whilst keeping hundreds of thousands of articles on sportspeople who have made much much less of an enduring contribution would be crazy. The lack of third-party refs so far is probably due to the fact that he doesn't write in English, so the sources are less accessible to writers of the English-language wikipedia

Comment: Does not appear to pass  or  on basis of cites to his works. Only claim to notability appears to be involvement in "Man of Ashes" controversy and that is not dealt with in the article

Comment: Despite the fact that many people have participated in this discussion, I am relisting this debate to garner more discussion because of new developments. The creator, {{user|Hoolio9690}}, who is also the subject of this article, has requested deletion because he believes that the sources used in the article are unreliable. Above, he "suggests that the secondary sources be eliminated or the page deleted". Discussion above is mixed on whether the subject passes ; there has been little discussion about coverage in reliable sources &mdash; specifically which sources establish notability. There are also concerns that the controversy section is being given too much weight in the article.Because the subject requested deletion after most of the participants have opined, this hasn't been taken into consideration by a number of the participants of the AfD. Therefore, a relist to discuss whether the subject's request should be granted is needed. Is the subject notable enough to override the request for deletion? Or is he marginally notable enough that the deletion should be granted per #People who are relatively unknown? These questions are why I am relisting this debate for further discussion. Because I am not an administrator, I am open to an administrator overriding this relist and closing this AfD as s/he sees fit
