Completely unsourced biographical stub about a person notable only as the first settler of a small island. This is not an "inherent" notability freebie that would exempt a person from having to pass WP:GNG on the sourcing, so this article does not demonstrate or reliably source a credible reason why he would need a standalone biographical article separately from his name already being mentioned in Culebra, Puerto Rico.

• Delete without prejudice of recreation if sourcing/notability can be shown. SportingFlyer T·C 15:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom fails WP:Verifiability.Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 19:07, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  Pharaoh of the Wizards, I have added two sources in the article which I guess are reliable but I do not think they are inline with WP:SIGCOV. Would you consider reviewing them? I think there would be plethora of coverage about him, possibly in the historical works about the area that he colonized! ─ The Aafī (^talk) 19:30, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Keep per the sources I've added in the article, and the comment I made above. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 04:30, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Two footnotes, which are both books about other things that happen to glancingly mention the subject's name on one page, is not enough coverage to get a person over WP:GNG. We need sources that are actually about him, not sources which happen to mention him in the process of being about other things. Bearcat (talk) 14:22, 12 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bearcat, I do understand that these sources fail SIGCOV as I mentioned in my earlier comment, my wk vote was based on another argument, but still, that is not going to help and thus I've struck my wk vote. ─ The Aafī (^talk) 04:47, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - all I am finding on him are books or web pages with variants of the same single simple sentence, and it seems unlikely anything more will be able to be said about this man from existing WP:RS than would fit in two sentences at most at Culebra, Puerto Rico#History. Clearly WP:GNG fail, and probably WP:ONEEVENT applies as well - he is not noteworthy outside of the foundation, and the foundation itself is such a minor topic it only merits extremely brief mention in the history section of a page on the island.Agricolae (talk) 18:05, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge (if there is in fact anything additional) and redirect to Culebra, Puerto Rico#History. The subject's only notability is that he surveyed the island to see if it was habitable. The island has a population of 1818, the equivalent of a large village. The failure to settle it until 1880 suggests that it was always rather inhospitable.
