Not notable enough to deserve an article. User234 (talk) 10:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep winning the Philippine Parnaso Poetry Contest, although now defunct, is a clear sign of notability. Poor referencing is another issue, but the article should be kept. sulmues--Sulmues 14:31, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not unless we can find some sourced indication that the award itself was ever considered notable; googling Parnaso Poetry Contest, even without quotes, doesn't bring up a single Google hit that isn't this article on either Wikipedia or a Wikipedia mirror.

 * Delete, no sources demonstrating notability; if some turn up I'd be happy to reconsider my vote. He has a long string of books published, but no sign any of them are notable, they're mostly from small academic publishers in the Philippines. Several are credited to a Canadian publisher called "Infocom", but I can't find any evidence that there is any such company; various Google searches turn up only this wiki page and the author's blog. The same thing happens when searching for various combinations of the words "Parnaso Poetry Contest". Winning an award doesn't make you notable without some sort of sign that the award itself is notable. Hairhorn (talk) 01:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'll try to find more sources. Bearian (talk) 02:13, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep if good sources can be found by close; delete if they can't. Bearcat (talk) 03:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, look at the Google Books results! He's got dozens of sources there that analyse him and his work. Abductive  (reasoning) 04:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * weak Keep if the awards are notable, which I cannot judge.  I'd feel much more confident about this with some citations to published reviews.    DGG ( talk ) 04:14, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, you're trying to get me to improve the article. But I'm hampered by Google's snippet view. Nevertheless, even the snippet view produces Bloom and memory: essays on literature, culture, and society by Jose Wendell P. Capili which calls him a "luminary", another source listing him as one of the more important poets from his cohort, the Tamkang Review says, "Other writers whom we may cite at this point as possessing this historical sense... are Maidan Flores, Albert Casuga, and Benjamin ..." These are secondary sources that analyse the subject, and so it should be kept. Abductive  (reasoning) 04:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
