[edit] Milton Jimenez

No assertion of notability per WP:N regarding this individual. Further, article appears to be nothing more than a rehash of a single news article. Mh29255 (talk) 03:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. As a major government official, he should be notable enough. The page isn't exactly what I'd call neutral (balance-wise) though. --Lenin and McCarthy | (Complain here) 03:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep - Jiminez is (or was) a public figure with a very senior ministerial rank. Being a foreign minister of a recognised nation is a sufficient assertion of notability. I agree the article should contain more than his drink-driving offence but am having trouble adding to it as all the relevant sourceas are in Spanish. Can any Spanish-speaking Wikipedians help out?

• Concern Sounds like this person may have notability, but with nothing else in the article, the DWI seems to have a bit of undue weight. Afraid I can't help with the spanish sources.--Cube lurker (talk) 04:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep As the former Foreign Minister of Honduras this individual is obviously notable. The article certainly needs more information to provide balance, but he is clearly notable. I would suggest that the nominator reads WP:N again, especially as they originally nominated this for a speedy deletion. HookOnTheWall (talk) 04:50, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep He was a former Foreign Minister of a sovereign nation.... Honduras' equivalent to Condi Rice. --Tocino 05:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, of course...it's worrying to see that there is someone who feels that a country's foreign minister isn't notable. Suggest closing this early. Everyking (talk) 05:34, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - I can't think of a single instance in which a cabinet minister of any soverign nation wouldn't be notable. matt91486 (talk) 07:17, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep as national level cabinet minister. A Google/Google News/Google Books search shows sources going back to 1982 as a human rights activist and continuous coverage from 2006-2008, although many of the sources are in Spanish. • Gene93k (talk) 10:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
• Strong Keep: I'm with the others; frankly, with nearly a thousand edits under nom's belt and having been on Wikipedia nearly two years, I'm beyond astonished, and implore nom to read up on the rules under which he files AfDs.  RGTraynor  13:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
