[edit] Salvador Minguijon Perez

Does not meet WP:BIO. Google test failed (only 5 independent hits incl. Wikipedia [1]). Being granted a European patent is not enough to claim notability. (More than 50,000 European patents were granted in 2004 [2]). Edcolins 07:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Per nom. --Edcolins 07:57, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep. Per original author. I put this article in in order to make sure that the original inventor of telematic auto insurance receives at least some credit for his breakthrough. If you Google "pay as you drive", or "telematic auto insurance", you will get an appreciation for the enormous potential impact of this invention. By virtue of my own consulting practice, I've been studying telematic auto insurance for many years. It wasn't until this year that I discovered, quite by accident, that Salvador was the original inventor, and not the putative inventor, Progressive auto insurance.--Nowa 11:55, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Author admits above that this is motivated by something close to WP:POINT. Does not meet WP:BIO. (ESkog)(Talk) 13:41, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the WP Bio link. Based on that, I reluctantly agree that this article should be deleted.--Nowa 23:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Having a patent is not grounds for encyclopedia mention. Flyboy Will 21:28, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I agree that having a patent alone is not grounds for a separate encyclopedia article. I also understand the above point that it should not be my place alone to emphasize the importance of a given inventor's work.--Nowa 23:48, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
