Comment: Actually, I realized it would be much easier to simply fix the problem on the wikidata end, so no discussion (yet). If you're interested in translating the es-wiki article, we can worry about moves later. asilvering (talk) 18:37, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Hm, this is a tough one. Since he isn't notable outside of this event, it makes much more sense to place this information on the article about the Marian image, cult, or sanctuary of Peña de Francia. But we don't have that article. es-wiki does: es:Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia, but our version of that article is Our Lady of Peñafrancia, which is specifically about a particular image in the Philippines. Do you have any interest in translating es:Nuestra Señora de la Peña de Francia? I'll start a talk page discussion about de-linking our en-wiki article from that one. asilvering (talk) 18:07, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Can you please supply page numbers with your citations? Thank you. asilvering (talk) 06:31, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

Simon Vela (Paris, 1384 - El Cabaco, March 11, 1438)[1] was a French pilgrim, whose original name was Simon Roland, who in 1434 found a Romanesque image of the Virgin Mary at the top of the Peña de Francia (El Cabaco, Salamanca).[2][3]
According to legend, Simon was a person of great religious devotion who, in a dream, received the message that he should find an image of the Virgin Mary in Peña de Francia.[3]
After searching for this image for several years in France, he walked the Camino de Santiago and on his return from Santiago de Compostela, he detoured through the province of Salamanca. Upon hearing the name of Peña de Francia in the city of Salamanca, he followed some carters to San Martín del Castañar, where he received specific instructions to get to the mountain. On the third day of searching for the image he had a Marian apparition, and on May 14, 1434, he found it buried at the top of the rock, just as Juana Hernandez, known as the holy girl of Sequeros, had announced ten years earlier.[4][5][6][7] From then on, he changed his name to Simon Vela and dedicated his efforts to promoting the cult of said image in the Peña de Francia. He died on March 11, 1438 and was buried next to the altar of the Virgin Mary, although his remains were later transferred to Sequeros,[8] preserved together with those of the holy girl in the church of Our Lady of Robledo).[9]
