Draft:Oscar Loureda Lamas

• Comment: Merely the number of primary sources, here (quite literally, with the subject of the article being the or an author on most citations, here) is problematic. We need to see additional secondary sources, to start. The prose of the article needs some adjusting, and we can address that and possible notability issues once the citations have been addressed (just as heads-up, this is looking a little shaky notability-wise... but I will reserve judgement until further secondary sources are presented).
