Carlos Mejia
This article had already been speedily deleted for lack of evident notability. A Wikipedia article has also been speedily deleted, as seen here. The Wikiquote article has now been created again, as has another page on Wikipedia. The WP article has been contested for speedy deletion. Since notability is being claimed, I have nominated it for removal instead of deleting it again. - InvisibleSun 22:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete for lack of notability - InvisibleSun 22:37, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless compelling evidence for notability provided and sourced, properly translated quotes provided. Although Mejia has a very brief IMDb article, indicating he is a professional at least, El Salvador is not exactly a hotbed of world cinema, let alone films and TV that would be noticed in the English-speaking world. Furthermore, I note that "en Wikiquote no hay aún un artículo con ese nombre"; i.e., Spanish Wikiquote doesn't even have an article on this person. I even had difficulty trying to determine where in the world the related IP addresses that created this article are from. (I'm guessing El Salvador.) This seems to be a case of someone trying hard to promote a favored but still obscure artist by exposure on a heavily-visited website. As always, I hope to be corrected by sourced evidence. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 02:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: The Carlos Mejia of the IMDB link is a different person, a Nicaraguan musician with the group Los de Palacagüina, whose IMDB credits date back to 1978. The subject of this nominated Wikiquote page was born in 1993. - InvisibleSun 03:10, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess I do stand corrected. The single piece of sourced evidence I came up with is invalid. Not a good omen for this article. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:50, 2 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, unless evidence of notability is provided. ~ UDScott 12:18, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. Wikipedia has deleted the article for lack of notability.--Jusjih 16:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. I find it unlikely that a 14-year old has achieved a lot of fame as a "director/actor", and I'd definitely need to see some evidence (but there appears to be done). —LrdChaos (talk) 18:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete looks like rubbish.--Poetlister 15:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete He does appear to have been in some films, but the WP article (now speedy deleted 5 times) asserts non notability: "He had tried to get in big movies but he haven't get hired thats why he is getting from the bottom like an extra." Tyrenius 03:55, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete --McNoddy 08:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
