Juan F. Buenestado (talk · contribs) has been paid by Luleå University of Technology (LTU) on behalf of Javier Martín-Torres. See page at LTU showing Buenestado as being employed by Martín-Torres at LTU. See edit history for evidence that almost all of the article has been written by this person.

As mentioned, there is a conflict of interest issue. The article is almost entirely written by User:Juan_F._Buenestado, who has failed to disclose that he is working directly as a journalist for Martín-Torres. Evidence of this can be seen at the university website. It is very likely that Mr. Buenestado is being paid to edit this article. He has not disclosed this, which is a major problem. I have tagged article and talk page accordingly. Unsurprisingly, the article exclusively mentions positive items (which is why it reads like a cleverly written advert disguising as a biography).

I also find that the article is thin on establishing notability. Reading through Wikipedia:Notability_(academics), the only item that comes close is “2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level.”, the only national prize listed is the “Special Prize of the Spanish Research Council”. Is this prize “highly prestigious”? A Google Search for Special Prize of the Spanish Research Council only yields a single result apart from the article in question. Most of the links in the article are either from places he's worked, or research articles. I am not convinced notability has been established, therefore I have tagged the article with not only a notability template, but also a third party sources template.

This article would probably need some independent work to address these issues.
