 * I see a potential conflict with the other Paco Church in Paco Park if an article on that church is made here. WikiPilipinas for example has that church in its entry for Paco Church. I think while its common for media to name churches based on their location for convenience, it would be best to avoid conflicts and confusions by going with their actual names. In this case, San Fernando de Dilao Church as seen in its marker.--RioHondo (talk) 10:44, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

The other Paco Church (St. Pancratius Chapel) you are talking about is more commonly called Paco Chapel. There might be a conflict of there will be an article created for it. The nearest article which can refer to the another Paco Church would be Paco Park. The entry in WikiPilipinas written erroneously in which even though the proper title is St. Pancratius Chapel, the chapel in the article is always referred to as church. WP:COMMONNAME states  Wikipedia prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in reliable English-language sources) as such names will be the most recognizable and the most natural. --Anime (talk) 12:34, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
 * This article is not the primary topic for "Paco Church" according to Google where the vast majority of results goes to the church in Paco Park. Read WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.--RioHondo (talk) 16:44, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

WP:PRIMARYTOPIC mentions "usage in English reliable sources" to determine a primary topic. There are lots of articles in the URL you mentioned which refers "Paco Church" to the Paco Church we all know, than the "Paco Church" that you know as the Paco Chapel. Even your favorite search engine knows where the "Paco Church" most people likely to refer at. Read WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. --Anime (talk) 14:32, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Hmm. It says "San Fernando de Dilao Parish" in that google map link you cited. The article title has been San Fernando de Dilao from the time the article was created, so while a consensus has not been reached (and i doubt the two of us will ever come into an agreement), shouldn't the title be reverted to its original and you start going around for consensus, like starting a WP:RM discussion at least?--RioHondo (talk) 14:57, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia Policies and guidelines and English reliable sources shall determine the article title for this one. Always remember the naming criteria such as recognizability, naturalness, precision, conciseness, and consistency. --Anime (talk) 04:13, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
