An advertising piece with no apparent independent sources TS 14:24, 19 April 2009 (UTC) 
 * Keep: I added three external links that indicate notability - there are many more. Clearly a significant and active organization. The article is very poor, mostly just information published by the organization on its website and far from neutral. It needs a drastic clean-up to meet Wikipedia guidelines. But that is not a reason for deletion. System787 has improved the article considerably. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:02, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep: I am the creator of the article. Thank you for the heads up. I will modify the article to meet Wikipedia guidelines. I have already previously responded to the first notification of deletion (which had the reason it looked like a propaganda material) and deleted some portions on the page that looked like propaganda material (this in consultation with the Info Mgmt department head of our organization) and subsequently removed the first notification. We have noted the advise to add more solid references that are found in the internet and we will do so soonest. But to make this process expedient, we would like to know which parts of the article make it look like an advertisement, so that we can delete these parts or modify these soonest. Thank you.

 * Keep: I took the liberty of editing it. I believe that information about the CBCS is a value-added knowledge for Wikipedia. (System787 (talk) 13:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC))

 * Keep civil society groups in general are more notable in Mindanao than those in general, because of the highly-charged political dispute they operate in the middle of, and this collective has actual, demonstrable influence in arguably one of the 3 perrenially hot-button filipino political topics.Bali ultimate (talk) 19:17, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
