Deprodded without rationale. A few mentions, some listings, but no significant coverage. Some of the current sourcing does not even mention him. Does not meet WP:GNG. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 17:48, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Article reads more like a genealogical summary than anything, and does nothing to establish why Curiel is notable.TH1980 (talk) 01:41, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:SIGCOV. First off, this is a historic figure so there is no WP:BLP concern. It's difficult to access the sources in Google Books and for the Caribbean there is no abundance of historical websites as for Europe and Northern America. The amount of name combinations that apply to this community president only makes things more complex. Nevertheless, the following website can give some guidance.[1] When opening the detailed index of Precious Stones it is easy to see that most biographies are 1-2 pages while the true pillars of Judaism in Curacao, among whom Jahacob Hisquia Curiel, typically have 4-6 pages. For Jahacob this is a biography of 5 pages with 4 subchapters. gidonb (talk) 23:44, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Also consider renaming to Jahacob Curiel. gidonb (talk) 02:09, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Non-notable person. No significant coverage and indeed sounds like a genealogical page. KittenKlub (talk) 07:22, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Gidonb. It's hard to assess sources I can't access, but anyone from the 1600s about whom multiple sources exists is likely to be notable. The fact that he was president of the Jewish community in Curacao seems like evidence of notability. Guettarda (talk) 20:53, 8 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
