Hi, article looks great. just made a minor change, removed one "and" from a sentence Aidaja12 (talk) 00:38, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Great article!
This is a great article! It looks well-researched and comprehensive. I didn't know that GABRIELA (the political partty) was actually an acronym! I just added a little in the section about the British Occupation of Manila, just to enhance the causality between the Seven Years' War and the British occupation. Otherwise, it looks great! :) Mushpatatas (talk) 06:01, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

Gabriela Silang → Diego and Gabriela Silang – Diego and Gabriela Silang should be be in a single article since they are a married couple and they are famous for a one event. The information on both are redundant. This is similar to Adam and Eve, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Bonnie and Clyde. As well as Gomburza. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 03:25, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose. This is from just reading their articles, Diego died in 1762 on a separate event/and for a different reason (betrayal) from his wife who died in 1763 (i.e, a year later) in the hands of Spanish colonial authorities in Vigan. Im not sure you can call that a "single event."--RioHondo (talk) 03:31, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Christo's wife Jeanne-Claude is dead but they remain in a single article. And those two are known for more things than just one event. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 03:37, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * But at the same time, only the wife is honored as one of the national heroes of the Philippines, and the couple fought in different battles, with the wife only rising up in arms after her husband's death. If anything, they are like Andres Bonifacio and Gregoria de Jesús, IMO.--RioHondo (talk) 03:43, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The may be because of WP:BIAS based on feminism. It is not relevant what happened after they died. This article is about their lives. And, frankly, I believe both would much rather be together than apart. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 03:48, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Gregoria de Jesus lived long after her husband's death and both weren't known to be constantly involved in each other's activities. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 03:51, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Andres and Gregoria were members of the Katipunan, and were actively involved in the revolutionary society as a couple. One more thing against the merger, Gabriela is more popular compared to Diego in the number of monuments and memorials dedicated to them, and I have yet to see an actual monument or memorial of them together. So their association is not as strong compared to those you have mentioned, not even as strong as the Gomburza priests which are seen as together almost always.--RioHondo (talk) 04:08, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * How people commemorate them after their deaths is less relevant to what they did when they were alive. Gabriela is a feminist icon that's why people forget she had a husband. I am not saying I have an opinion on feminism, what I am saying is that that belief may have put a flavor on their historical context. The fact remains that both were famous for a single event unlike Mr. Bonifacio and Ms. de Jesús, who not only kept their names but also lived relatively separate lives, with Ms. de Jesús living 45 years past her husband. And thank you for adding Gomburza, I will add them to my reasons. Shhhhwwww!! (talk)
 * The Gomburza, though probably known for a single event, has individual articles for the three priests (Mariano Gómez, José Burgos and Jacinto Zamora), and are considered as individual heroes in their respective provinces (Ilocos Sur, Manila/Cavite). Diego and Gabriela, aside from the fact that they are treated historically as separate icons, are also separately honoured in their provinces (Ilocos Sur/Abra and La Union). I don't see a good reason to merge based on all of those considerations. The fact that Gabriela Silang is a feminist icon means she deserves her individual article and recognition.--RioHondo (talk) 05:30, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * The information on either article are near-identical, they are almost carbon copies of each other. There is almost no situation where one is discussed, the other isn't also. There are already plenty of articles about married couples so them being separate people should not be an issue. Again, how they are honored in their deaths are less relevant than their actual lives. This article is about what they did when they were alive. Pretty much, they are well-known for only one event. That is that they led a revolution together. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 05:50, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Their legacy sections differ significantly though. I am still not convinced that their articles should be merged considering we have articles that only refer to Gabriela, the heroine of the Ilocos, without the husband: GABRIELA, Order of Gabriela Silang, Gabriela Silang Reef. Her notability is independent from that of the husband, hence a separate article.--RioHondo (talk) 06:10, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I am well aware of those three articles. You can even add BRP Diego Silang (PF-9) to that. The point is that those articles are about stuff long after their deaths. This is about their lives, which are forever tied to each other's, literally. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 06:16, 10 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Strong Oppose. I do not understand why it's being suggested that Diego and Gabriela were "famous for a single event", except to note that the articles do not go into enough details about their leadership decisions and battles. My understanding is that Gabriela's notable military exploits took place AFTER the death of Diego, (i.e. from his death in May 1763 to her death in September, 1763) and constitute a distinct/separate (although antecedent, perhaps arguably resultant) set of events. Or at least a distinct/separate phase of military operations. The September 10, 1763 siege of Vigan, for example, was a battle Diego had no involvement in - he was four months dead by then. And Gabriela's hanging on Sept 20 was in itself an iconic event, separate from Diego's assassination on May 28, four months earlier that year. That's ASIDE from Gabriela's recognition as a "Feminist Icon", which arises from the nature of her leadership status, and which by any POV merits her an article of her own. Unless your argument is that Diego's exploits prior to Gabriela's leadership are somehow not notable outside of its relationship to Gabriela.  You might as well call Dagohoy or Sakay non-notable, if that's going to be your argument. To sum: Diego is known for starting his 1760s revolt. Gabriela may have been aide de camp during this period but that isn't what Gabriela is known for.  She's known for the four months of remarkable leadership that came after it. - Alternativity (talk) 04:14, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose per Alternativity's reasons. Besides that she's a feminist icon unlike her husband. Why the nominator repeatedly handwaves said person's feminist legacy is beyond me. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 06:07, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Christo's legacy is much more prominent than his wife but they remain in a single article. I cannot fathom why people disagree on them being in a single article when the info on both of them repeat itself on either one. Her being a feminist icon is merely a bias of that movement, which I also support, in case your interested. There is nothing else notable on both their lives that warrant a separate article for each. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 11:40, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * To sum up my point again, Gabriela Silang is notable for the four months of military leadership that came after the death of Diego, and Diego's military leadership was notable in itself, aside from Gabriela's role in it. The articles repeat themselves, sure, but that's a reflection of wikipedian inattention, rather than the non-notability of either article.  The "Feminist Icon" bit can be treated as irrelevant, if you like. - Alternativity (talk) 00:48, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That four months is a mere footnote compared to the article as a whole.Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 05:52, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with the fact, but not the conclusion. My assertion is that both articles should be rewritten to reflect orthodox historical emphasis. (The section discussing Gabriela's role as Diego's second in command should be short, and should have a "main article" hatnote pointing to the Diego Silang article.)  Not my gig, though: my reference collection is an 8 hour drive north of me right now, so I don't feel able to do the rewrite.  Perhaps a tag requesting expert inputs is in order? - Alternativity (talk) 09:32, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

 * Can a non-Filipino comment on this. There is a clear WP:Conflict of interest in this topic. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 11:40, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

Merger proposal
Diego and Gabriela Silang should be be in a single article since they are a married couple and they are famous for a WP:ONEEVENT. The information on both are redundant. This is similar to Adam and Eve, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and Bonnie and Clyde. Shhhhwwww!! (talk) 03:21, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
