She is a mayor in Philippines with Chinese ethnicity and questionable origins, documents and records that she herself don't have any idea about, and an owner of a company with a fugitive just right behind the municipality. Are the filipino people just thinking too much? 158.62.80.166 (talk) 15:55, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The coverage of the raids would not have gained that much traction if an alleged spy, posing as a mayor who seemingly had amnesia and whose citizenship is questionable, hadn't shown up. The level of threat to the national security of the Philippines brought by this person is unprecedented. Her alleged ties with transnational criminals extend beyond the raids in Bamban. HueMan1 (talk) 17:37, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the media coverage on her dubious biography (from her alleged childhood days in Bamban to being a mayor even if she is an unknown individual for much of the citizens of Bamban) warrants the article's retention as a biographical article. Alternatively, the section at the Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator covering the Bamban raids should be split into a standalone article. JWilz12345(Talk|Contrib's.) 07:53, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The Alice Guo affair has gotten a life of her own which transcends her involvement in POGOs, particularly now that there are suspicions regarding her origin that are now threatening to drag multiple political institutions in the country into serious scrutiny. Borgenland (talk) 09:08, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Partial) Oppose Guo has become a rather significant (and arguably much bigger) topic for entirely different reasons than just the criminal activities of the Hongsheng firm. Although I agree our coverage of her would be better served under a different article format rather than a WP:BLP (provided again, that it's a separate coverage from the Bamban raids). But I struggle to think of an appropriate title (Bamban mayor POGO controversy doesn't quite cut it, as it still implies that the issue only involves her links to the POGOs). Better where it is for now, I guess, until we get more details from the investigation. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 12:44, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Urgent Rename - Obsidian Soul's position on this matter, as stated above, matches my own. So I will simply second it. But let me add that we need to take action quickly; the article has no business being a BLP.- Chieharumachi (talk) 04:43, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
None of those red links are plausible search items. The current article title more than suffices. Howard the Duck (talk) 12:53, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed they are too clunky. Borgenland (talk) 12:55, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (1) "2023–2024 Bamban raids" is a completely different topic, (2) Alice Guo has enough information and notability for Wikipedia to warrant having an article on her, we don't need to lump her in with the Bamban raids, because we don't know if all the controversy surrounding her is just POGO stuff or if it goes much deeper. A diehard editor (talk | edits) 12:29, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - for the same reasons as above. Guo is now facing separate issues related to her citizenship and birth certificate, and the Bamban raids are an entirely unrelated matter. —doclys (❀) 18:16, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
