Biography of person who does not satisfy political notability and does not appear to satisfy general notability. The subject was a council member and acting mayor of a city of 440,000, which is not presumed notable but sometimes is notable. This article does not establish notability. Two of the references are news stories about actions that he took as mayor that are passing mentions of him. One of them is an advertisement for tourism to his city.

This BLP was created in article space, moved to draft space, and created in article space again. The article should be deleted, and the draft can be expanded in draft space if there is significant coverage.

 * Comment to User:Andrevan - Yes. I have tried to clean it up.  Robert McClenon (talk) 03:33, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment I found several news articles about him at the Google News Archives of what he did as a politician in Pasay. However I'm not convinced they pass WP:POLITICIAN at the moment.     . There are more news articles that are still focused on Pasay City politics but I think this is a good sample size. -- Lenticel  ( talk ) 08:26, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete. Politicians at the city level are not automatically guaranteed Wikipedia articles just because they exist — and no, that doesn't change based on whether you're talking about a city councillor or a mayor. Either way, to get a local politician into Wikipedia requires the ability to write a substantial article referenced to a significant volume of media coverage, which establishes his significance by documenting his long-term effects on the development of the city, but that's not what this article is. Obviously this is without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can actually write an article that meets the necessary standards better than this does, but this article, in this form, ain't it.

 * Delete per above. SeanJ 2007 (talk) 09:12, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep May not meet WP:NPOL, but meets WP:BIO with sources presented by Lenticel. They're reliable and in-depth enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 09:48, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete definitely doesn't pass NPOL and doesn't pass GNG - the sources found above are insufficient, run of the mill political reporting that any mayor of any town would get. PRAXIDICAE🌈 00:15, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete I already tagged this for notability in its previous incarnation. Mccapra (talk) 14:04, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
