The result was delete. In view of the detailed nomination, the "keep" opinion simply makes no sense. Sandstein 18:36, 21 June 2018 (UTC)

Article fails notability and verifiability. This will take longer to explain than most nominations I've participated in, but I'll give it a go.

References 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 11, 14 and 22 are not reliable sources since they are either blogs or social network; among them references 3, 6, 11 and 22 are not independent either, and references 10, 16, 17 and 20 do not mention Romero. References 4, 7, 8, 13, 14, 18 and 19 are dead and haven't been archived; many of its fields haven't been provided either, such as author, article date and access date, so there is a good part of the information that cannot be verified. References 9, 12, 15, 21, 23 appear to be the only independent, reliable sources, but subject still fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:CREATIVE at first sight. The first source indicates that as of 2012, Jaimito has not been sold nationwide, being sold in only five states of Venezuela's twenty-three. The subject also fails WP:GOOGLETEST, I couldn't find more reliable sources about him

While he is shown as a participant of the World Economic Forum in Panama City in 2014, he is among 600 other participants, including 11 other more prominent Venezuelan personalities, including people from the Development Bank of Latin America, PepsiCo, Associated Press and Santa Teresa Rum. The article also mentions the "Blue Strike", known as Golpe Azul in Spanish, an important event in Venezuela that led to the arrest of prominent mayor and political prisoner Antonio Ledezma, along with more than eight other persons, whose article in Spanish I have worked in. However, I haven't found any mention of the subject regarding the topic, the only related source the I've found is La Tabla blog, already included as a source. The only Romero that can be found is Alfredo Romero, director of Venezuelan NGO Foro Penal; there's even no way to verify even if the persons arrested are promotion partners of Victor or global shapers as claimed in the article. As far as I know, this is not the case. Jamez42 (talk) 16:18, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

• KEEP The article needs to be edited to remove some references, but there is definitely merit in the subject's achievements. 2601:644:400:52F7:6199:8521:E7E0:CAC7 (talk) 16:40, 14 June 2018 (UTC)— 2601:644:400:52F7:6199:8521:E7E0:CAC7 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Delete - agree with nom, no real notability and probable promotional intent. Deb (talk) 13:27, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
