5th time some Wikipedians try to delete [[Gonzalo Lira]]. Lira was an American who was recently notable for smack talking Ukraine, while in Ukraine, seemingly trying to get himself arrested. Including, but not limited to, widely publishing videos of himself announcing he is going to cross the Ukranian border to escape prosecution *before he tried to cross the border*.

Lira was predictably arrested again by Ukrainian authorities for smack talking their country and, according to his father, recently died in custody. Rumors are he died of something related to pneumonia, and was in hospital treatment. Lira has been recently promoted by Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson as an example of Ukrainian authoritarianism, perhaps giving political motivation for the delete votes yet again.
This AFD is 2 delete votes to 0 keep votes so far.
User:scope_screep gave no reason for the AFD other than "been here before"
User:Oaktree_b 's reason for his delete vote is "no RS has covered him", which is a plain lie.
The Wikipedia article as it stands has numerous WP:RS sources, some of which are exclusively on Lira, including at least 2 Daily Beast articles. Other RS includes an NBC News article, a Newsweek article, a The Independent article, and many foreign language articles.
