No assertion of WP:SIGCOV from reliable and independent sources or claim of notability in the article and most of the article is unsoursed. AmirŞah 21:27, 15 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Luis Medina is a well-known producer, talent manager, and entrepreneur in the Latin/Hispanic entertainment industry. Billboard magazine and other reliable sources have all published several works, articles, and interviews claiming the notability of Luis Medina as Producer, CEO of UNO Productions in Los Angeles, California, and the several events that he has directed, produced, and the talent he has managed.

Since Luis Medina works in the Latino/Hispanic entertainment industry the sources and claim on notability are in Spanish. Please use a translator so you can read the articles.

Delete, or at the very least, this article will need a complete rewrite, removing all the unnecessary fluff and non-encyclopedic wording. Phrases such as "Luis Medina has prioritized following his instincts. During the holidays of 1975, he did just that." and the headings "United States: Expanding Horizons" and "Los Angeles: Dreams become reality" are not encyclopedic, to say the least.

~~Speedy~~ Delete, blatant self-promotion, even after I threw out all the unsourced paragraphs. ~~He does appear to be notable per WP:BIO, but this article needs to be blown up and rewritten by someone who's not on his payroll.~~ Note that the article creator claims ownership of the posed photo. Storchy (talk) 15:57, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

On second look at the sources and on what else I can find online in English and Spanish, Medina doesn't meet WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Storchy (talk) 12:51, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Not self-promotion or on the payroll. I am just trying to complete my school project on Latin/Hispanic figures who lack representation in the US entertainment industry and have to create a biography. I was given rights to the photos because he was appreciative of my efforts. The claim of notability should be proven by billboard magazine articles on him and several interviews. I am open to suggestions on how to make this better. Hollywoodproduction (talk) 17:59, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How do you know that he was he was appreciative of your efforts? What's your connection with Mr. Medina please? Storchy (talk) 18:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: At first glance, the subject fails WP:GNG and his coverage relies heavily on passing mentions with clients or his company, UNO Productions, and I say this as a Spanish speaker that looked up for references in Spanish. I will note that there might still be the chance to find independent sources that focus on him, but at the current state of the article of self-promotion, WP:TNT is probably the best alternative. --NoonIcarus (talk) 12:23, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
