Assertion of notability is focussed around founding Aporta - a company which itself seems unlikely to meet
WP:CORP guidelines, and about which no Wikipedia article currently exists. That just leaves a handful of foreign-language weblinks, to determine whether the individual concerned is notable per

Firstly, to be clear this deletion discussion is about the article
Aldo Alvarez here on the English language Wikipedia. I apologise for any inadvertent confusion I may have added for commenting on the copyright of the image here. That has been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, and any discussion about it's licensing should take place
there. For the record, however, the page you link to states that content is made available under a creative commons BY-NC-ND license which is not acceptable for upload to Commons (or here on Wikipedia, for that matter). Back to the subject in question, I'm not disputing whether what Aldo, or his company, are doing is interesting – what's relevant to this discussion is whether he's notable for inclusion in an encyclopedia, per the guidelines at

Comment UkPaolo Hi i just want to initially clarify he is an Mexican-American, lives in NYC and went to college in the USA. The company he founded Aporta, Inc is based out of NY but operates too in Mexico per this link and the own company website
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/aporta-inc#/entity. So basically he is a living person based out of the US so having an profile in english makes sense too. Let me know if you agree with this so we can move fwd with the discussion. — Preceding

I think you need to hold in mind that this is an encyclopedia. We're not talking about creating a "profile" for a social media site here. The important thing is whether Aldo Alvarez is sufficiently notable to warrant an encyclopedia article. I would again encourage you to read the guidelines at
WP:BIO. I don't think clarification about his nationality are relevant – it is, of course, desirable for us to have English-language Wikipedia articles on sufficiently note-worthy individuals regardless of whether they themselves speak English, or live/work in an English speaking country. The important thing here is firmly meeting notability guidelines – please read them, and if you feel Alvarez meets these criteria update the article so as to fully convey this to the reader. If you don't think he meets them then I'm sorry but there's nothing to discuss – an article would not be appropriate – this isn't LinkedIn. Might I also enquire as to whether you know Alvarez personally, and if so point you additionally at the guidelines at

Delete - I can see no notability here. If an article about his company becomes notable then I guess there might be a reason for an article about him, but even that is not guaranteed. Fails
