  • Weak keep I'm unsure about this AfD. It seems that at least one of the sources included in the article, i.e. Robert Aldrich & Garry Wotherspoon (2005), Who's Who in Contemporary Gay and Lesbian History Vol.2: From World War II to the Present Day, Routledge, [1] includes Aliagas and discuss him to a non-trivial extent. He's also mentioned (in fact, his work has been cited) in Jesús-Pedro Lorente (2005), Historia de la crítica del arte: textos escogidos y comentados, Zaragoza: Prensas Univesitarias de Zaragoza, pp. 628-637, [2].
He's also full professor at the Polytechnic University of Valencia [3], and has published extensively in Spanish in his field of research [4]. His artistic exhibitions (which he either curated or commissioned), have also been featured in Spanish media [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], as well as in other less independent sources such as [11], [12]. Thus, my issue is not whether he is notable.
I'm less sure, however, about the extent to which his notability is reasonably established by significant coverage in sufficient independent and reliable sources. Aside from the first reference mentioned, all of the others either mention him only in passing (thus not satisfying WP:SIGCOV), or are from websites where he is employed (UPV website profile) or projects which he is involved in (such as [13] and [14]) (and thus not sufficiently independent).
For now, I guess I support a weak keep. I would like to see comments from more experienced and knowledgeable editors, however, such as perhaps from WikiProject Arts. Though I'm not sure how the procedure is to RfC them within an AfD.-- talk2Chun( talk) ( contributions) 20:03, 21 January 2017 (UTC) reply
