Procedural nomination. This is an unsourced article about an actor and model, which was recently blanked down to infobox only by an editor who's been around long enough to know better -- while there are certainly some content problems here that need to be addressed, the appropriate response if you want the article gone is to list it for a deletion process, not just to erase it. At any rate, this has been flagged for notability since 2016, and for lacking sources since 2008 -- but neither actors nor models get an automatic inclusion freebie just for existing if reliable sourcing isn't present to support them, and the unverified claims here that he was murdered by the government are pretty much the textbook example of why reliable sources are required. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write and source it properly, but we are not a venue for propagating unconfirmed and unsourced conspiracy theories.

 *  Weak keep - I found some contemporary coverage -  - and I suspect more can be found, however there appear to be conflciting stories here and an amount of politics going on, which means we probably need a bit of a rewrite/review of the page before we can just drop in refs.

 * Keep A quick Google search gave me ample evidence that 1. Alfie Anido was notable before his death 2. the circumstances of his death are still debated in the Philippines' media today. Thanks and regards, Biwom (talk) 02:53, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep As per the previous entry, there is plenty of coverage. E.g. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/279810/alfie-anido-mystery-death-according-to-enrile — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ross-c (talk • contribs) 20:43, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. I added some sources to the article; there seem to be more, but the timing of his career (early 1980s) is not conducive to finding web-archived articles, and some sources undoubtedly exist which aren't in English. — GrammarFascist  contribs talk 14:34, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep what a weird case but I think he's notable given that his death still haunts Philippine politics for 30 years -- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:42, 21 August 2017 (UTC)
