He was the son of an important political figure in Costa Rica but I can't find anything to suggest he was notable. I have found his name listed in several books but each time it is just in lists of ancestors. There are several other people with similar names, if others go looking for sources JMWt (talk) 20:54, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

• Strong Delete Unsourced BLP. No effective references. scope_creep^Talk 08:14, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I'm relisting this because a) the individual died in 1900 and so this is not a BLP and b) the article creator was never informed about this AFD which I think is an oversight on the part of the nominator.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 21:05, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

• Comment The father article, Mariano Montealegre Bustamante is also unsourced. So there is no source for businessman or his mum and dad. No effective sources. The Spanish WP article on Mariano Montealegre Bustamante is also unsourced. scope_creep^Talk 11:36, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
• Delete This article was written in an era where anyone could start an article with no sourcing and it was ok because this is just a joke website. I don't speak Spanish and I can't tell from what I'm getting in searches if sufficient sources exist. That said, Wikipedia doesn't need to have an article on this person and if we did, a more competent editor could perform the research and write a keep-able article. No content at all is better than poor content. Chris Troutman (talk) 23:26, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
