Arangkada San Joseño

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A bit of a procedural nomination as I don't feel comfortable approving this article from the new page queue without input from other editors:

Despite having used multiple search engines, I can't find coverage that would establish that this subject meets WP:GNG. According to this article and the articles about the House of Representatives of the Philippines, Arangkada San Joseño is a political party with one representative in the House (although it's not listed at List of political parties in the Philippines). However, I have yet to find a source that confirms this, or that mentions any other information about the party other than that its spokesperson, Zosimo Lorenzo, filed some paperwork to disqualify a candidate from running for congress. To make matters worse, the person listed (without citation) as the party's leader in the article is described as a member of PDP–Laban on their own Wikipedia article.

If the subject really is a full-fledged political party, then I'd be confident that something was out there and would approve it per WP:NEXIST. But based on the available sourcing, I can't even confirm that it's not just a regional affiliate of another party or a one-man-show that should be covered as a biography. signed,Rosguill talk 01:56, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

 * That's why I tagged that it's a stub. The party's standard bearer in the House of Representatives is only Rida Robes, the incumbent congresswoman of San Jose del Monte's lone district. And, this case is also similar to Asenso Manileño party. It's also a city-based party and doesn't stand out much. - 👦🗣️ 06:32, 11 May 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep. I added some refs for 2016 and 2019 elections. The party did win one seat in 2016 House of Representatives elections, but in 2019 they chose to run under the National Unity Party label and won. The party won the mayoralty election in 2016 and 2019 in the "Arangkada" name in 2019. It being named as one of the six major local parties in 2016 is a big enough feat as several local parties exist but it made the cut. Howard the Duck (talk) 02:39, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
