  • Keep: The subject appears to meet
    WP:NPOL point 1 (national office-holder), so it's not at all clear to me how the subject can be said to suffer from a "distinct lack of notability"; and sourcing problems are not normally viewed as a reason for deletion.The article clearly needs work, likely from someone with a working understanding of Spanish, but I don't think deletion is the answer.

Greetings. Sourcing problems are viewed as a reason for deletion. Indeed, lack of any sources can lead to a speedy deletion of an article, per
the relevant rule: "Reasons for deletion include, but are not limited to,...Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed." Whether or not the subject of this specific article is notable enough to merit a Wikipedia entry is a different issue. -The Gnome (talk) 15:48, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply

Nicely done, P. Did you make a trip to your library for these? Rebbing 18:26, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No, I only had to go as far as Google Books. Luckily I read Polish fluently and can make reasonable sense of Spanish. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:51, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The sources that you are adding simply confirm that the subject of the article indeed "studied in Czechoslovakia," "worked for the Cuban Cultural Center in Prague," and also worked at "the Cuban embassy in Czechoslovakia". The single notable-possible item in her career is that she was once Deputy Foreign Minister of Cuba. And I still cannot find anything in the English language. -The Gnome (talk) 15:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep (maybe). Appears to be a notable woman, but translation of sources would be helpful. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:14, 18 June 2016 (UTC).[reply]
