Requested move
Grace Poe-Llamanzares → Grace Poe – Undoubtedly those TV ads swung the "Grace Poe" name into favor vs. "Grace Poe-Llamanzares". – H T  D  05:19, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

COMELEC or Comelec ?
Any acronym composed of block capitals is always going to be visually intrusive on the page. However, COMELEC (all upper case) is overwhelmingly the form used in formal writing in the Philippines and even more so overseas. It's also currently given as the alternative name in the opening sentence of our own article: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commission_on_Elections_%28Philippines%29&oldid=694266863

Accordingly, I shall be making the appropriate changes.

Obviously if someone can find cogent reasons for using the rarer form eschewed by our own article on COMELEC, I'm entirely open to reversion... BushelCandle (talk) 21:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)


 * I would agree with the use of all-caps for COMELEC as opposed to the mixed-case form, which if you ask me is less convention and more laziness on the part of whoever writes sources that use the mixed-case form rather than the more correct all-caps form. --Sky Harbor (talk) 07:19, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Comelec is not an "pure" acronym. It's more of a contraction of three words. Commission on Elections. The all caps doesn't make sense. Shhhhwwww!! (talk)
 * I agree - but since COMELEC's own web page consistently uses the ALL CAPS version, that agreement about the label/etymology of the ALL CAPS version doesn't change my stance. BushelCandle (talk) 21:12, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Move to delete section on Political Positions
The list of political positions has no listed source/cited source additional an almost exact copy is available at the wiki page for Grace Poe 2016 presidential campaign. Additionally considering that the election that she ran is more than 4 years old this may not be as relevant anymore for her specific profile page.

I will leave this talk up for about two weeks to allow discussion then will move to delete the section.
