Keep. Present sourcing or state of an article has no bearing on notability. The Spanish-language Wikipedia aricle includes citations to profiles/remembrances in La Prensa ([1]} and El Universal ([2]), as well as biographies of less clear reliability. A short blurb in Cashbox calls him one of the top Mexican singers. Gustavo Arellano credits him with popularizing the ranchero song "El Muchcho Alegre" (a song he tongue-in-cheek writes "should be the Mexican national anthem because it has everything a Mexican needs for fun" ). He was the subject of an hour-long radio program in 1995, he released several albums, and from the tone of coverage in reliable sources, he was well known, at least regionally if not all of Latin America. WP:GNG is met, and additional significant coverage probably exists, but it may not be easily accessible online. It is likely that someone knowledgeable with Mexican popular music and/or with access to quality Spanish-language sources can find more in-depth coverage in relevant music sources. --Animalparty!

Keep per sources found by Animalparty. Additional Spanish-language coverage likely exists. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 03:28, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
