Non-notable and apparently now defunct organization; it doesn't make a meaningful assertion of notability. It is a Spanish memorial fund that is not notable enough to have its own entry at [http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Especial%3ASearch&search=Ernesto+Koplowitz Spanish Wikipedia]. The fund's own website lists only [http://www.koplowitz.es/recortes%20fe%20prensa%20fundacion.htm two small newspaper mentions], google.es had [http://www.google.es/search?hl=es&q=%22Fundaci%C3%B3n+cultural+Ernesto+Koplowitz%22&btnG=Buscar&meta=lr%3Dlang_es only 4 hits] for "Fundación cultural Ernesto Koplowitz", and Spanish language [http://news.google.es/archivesearch?um=1&ned=es&hl=es&q=%22Fundaci%C3%B3n+cultural+Ernesto+Koplowitz%22&cf=all google news] had nada. I can read some Spanish, and from what I can tell, this does not meet WP:NOTE, but I decided to list it here instead of "prod"ing because Wikipedians more fluent in Spanish probably have a better chance of seeing it here and letting us know if there is anything salvageable here. With the information I have now, though, my vote is to delete. Dawn Bard (talk) 18:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep Really lousy translation, needing much editing, but apparent the family foundation of a family of billionaires, and therefore almost certainly notable while it was active. DGG (talk) 21:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Comment. The family is indeed notable, and Ernesto's daughters Alicia and Esther both have their own entries here and on Wikipedia español. I still don't see how that makes memorial fund in question notable - I couldn't find independent sources for the foundation in either language. Dawn Bard (talk) 15:57, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
