Benny M. Abante

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable preacher. Search for third party sources only comes up with Wiki page, some hits on Twitter and a couple of YouTube clips. --Legis (talk - contribs) 10:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as not notable. There is much wrong with this article, but it doesn't matter since the subject matter fails WP:GNG.  Dennis Brown (talk) 16:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: I just restored the article a the last good version without a fan-POV. The article passes WP:POLITICIAN Criteria 1 as the subject is a member of the House of Representatives of the Philippines. The following will have better hits. --Bluemask (talk) 00:39, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep as cleaned up by Bluemask. A Gnews search confirms that he is a former Filipino Congressman, passing WP:POLITICIAN. Still needs work but is fixable through editing. • Gene93k (talk) 00:59, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. If he really was an elected politician in Philippines I would of course withdraw the nomination.  Sorry, I did not pick that up at all originally. --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:42, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * 2nd Comment. Assuming we do keep (which looks likely), suggest we Move to his true name. --Legis (talk - contribs) 01:43, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment I see talk of keeping because he was elected to office, but there are no references, only one 404 ext. link (unrelated to any election, it is a church website, which fails wp:rs for the claims given), which would still make it BLP Prod material as unverified. I can't change or see to keep *any* BLP without references.  Perhaps someone could find a reliable source before we get all excited about moving or keeping. Dennis Brown (talk) 01:55, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you try Google News? I'm finding multiple hits confirming that he held the office, such as this one and this one. • Gene93k (talk) 02:16, 15 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Since this is an easy keep, this should be moved either to "Bienvenido Abante" (as stated above) or to "Benny Abante" (basically the current title w/o the middle initial). – H T  D  03:26, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, it was also very easy to find references, I got lazy writing an article since there were too many. It's easy to bitch about an article not having references, harder to find some, and harder still to write something from those references. – H T  D  03:49, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
