Comment: Autobiography -> conflict of interest editing (see WP:AUTO. Also, subject of article does not fulfil the notability requirements. Lijil (talk) 21:39, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

Comment: This article doesn't show that Arellano is notable. The article in La Voz is somewhat significant coverage in a presumably reliable and independent source, but it's recent (March 2025) and the only source about Arellano being an agnet. I cannot access the radio source, and the one about empanadas doesn't contribute to notability for being a football agent. May be a case of WP:TOOSOON. Lijil (talk) 21:26, 5 June 2025 (UTC)
