 * The issue here is WP:Notability, not WP:Verifiability. And blogs as refs are frowned upon in Wikipedia. - User234 (talk) 02:55, 11 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Undecided. I'm mulling it over.  JBsupreme (talk) 04:40, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Original editor's note: I had submitted an autobiography as an article in response to several requests for my resume from various sectors of society in the Philippines. While done in good faith, my lack of familiarity of the rules caused the nomination of the article for deletion on issues of WP:Notability and WP:COI. Noting that the article is about myself, I would defer to the consensual judgement of the Wiki community. Thanks very much for reviewing the material. Only the best.-Sultan-Commander (talk) 11:13, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and fix. I found yet a media reference .  This does not prove notability, but it certainly weakens the claim, that he should be a non-notable person on the Philipines.  This is an autobiograhy, self-disclosed, probably arising out of lack of familiarity with Wiki, I would assume good faith. But obviously conflict of interest (COI). I would also say it is far too long. So, let the Wiki process fix it.  The article is already adequately tagged, that it is in need of improvement.  Keep and fix.

 * Keep. Author's original COI no longer important as the article now belongs to Wiki. Notability has been asserted and sourced. Philipino notability is notability. The article meets the criteria. Any concerns about COI and POV can be addressed through WP:CLEANUP.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:37, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, I agree with Schmidt, Notability has been established and the article meets the requirements of WP:BIO. I would remove any unsourced statements in the Thoughts and views section to ensure that the article has no original research or point of view issues.  --Captain-tucker (talk) 14:26, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
