Speedy deletion of Antonio Sagardía

A tag has been placed on Antonio Sagardía requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

• I did some minor stuff in relation to the article's format. Tony the Marine (talk) 19:58, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

• I just realized that on the day that Antonio Sagardía's bio was nominated for deletion for being non-notable (which perhaps was not totally apparent in the text as of that day), he was actually the Acting Governor of Puerto Rico, since both Fortuño and McClintock were off the island, attending Obama's inaugural, and the first Acting Governor of this four-year term, which makes him somewhat notable.

Deletion of Puerto Rican images

As you all know, certain situations among which are included my personal health, have led me take a leave of absence from Wikipedia, however I believe that the idea proposed by Angusmclellan is an excellent one. Instead of nominating Puerto Rican related images by the masses, the images which have problems will first be listed in the page which I just created: Wikipedia:WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems. We will be given more then sufficient time as a "team" to find sources and make what ever fixes need be in order to keep them from being deleted. This is a Wiki-community team effort regardless of who uploaded the image. I ask all those who really care about the images related to Puerto Rico to post the link "Wikipedia:WikiProject Puerto Rico/Images with problems" in your "watchlists".

State Citizenship

The State Citizenship article was updated. See history,

Add U.S. Federal Code - Title 8 Aliens and Nationality Chapter 12 - Inmigration and Nationality Sub Chapter I - General Provisions § 1101. Definitions (a) 36 - The term 'State" definition.

See 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(36), 8 U.S.C. § 1101 - Definitions 36) The term “State” was defined; however just Puerto Rico and the CNMI has a constitution defining their jurisdiction citizenship.

One question

What do you think of this sentences on the Puerto Rico article?

After the plebiscite, efforts in the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, to enact legislation to address the status issue died in U.S. Congressional committees. In subsequent plebiscites organized by Puerto Rico held in 1993 and 1998 (without any formal commitment on the part of the U.S. Government to honor the results), the current political status failed to receive majority support (receiving 48.6% in 1993 and less than one percent, 0.3%, in 1998, when the "none of the above option" received the joint vote of voters who supported "enhanced" commonwealth with sovereignty from the U.S. and some pro-independence supporters).[59][60]
