It isn't notable and doesn't make much sense to read. CupcakePerson13 (talk) 03:26, 4 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Move: to "Mainas missions" or similar. "Maynas" is not the usual spelling in English, but "Mainas Missions" turns up a decent number of hits at Google Books. The reference to Samuel Fritz in the article checks out. The main source for the spelling "Pais de los maynas" appears to be this Spanish-language chronicle. Agree that in its current state the article needs lots of work, but given the number of sources I'd say it's notable -- see also this section of History of Ecuador, where the Jesuit missions are discussed in some detail – the section describes "Jesuit missions in Mainas or Maynas", and it would seem reasonable, given the sources on Google Books, to turn that reference into an article in its own right.

Note: How does it look now? (There's still more to do: Taylor's piece in this highly reputable source is rich with further info.) After taking a look at the sources while overhauling, I suggest a move to 'Mainas missions' with a redirect from 'Maynas missions', since 'Mainas' appears to be the more common spelling in English, at least in recent years.

• Keep per WP:HEY by AleatoryPonderings; well written and referenced compared to the original version submitted to AfD. Britishfinance (talk) 23:50, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep there are reliable sources Devokewater @ 15:36, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per WP:HEY as the article has been significantly improved since nomination with the addition of well referenced content supported by multiple reliable book sources that show that the subject passes WP:GNG and should be included, in my view Atlantic306 (talk) 20:53, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
