This is a BLP that I tagged as unsourced over a year ago. I tried to source it, and I find stuff written BY him, but not ABOUT him. He may be notable, but it can't be independently verified, thus a WP:V issue. P HARMBOY (moo) (plop) 12:28, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The article content is blatant advertising, not to say a bit puffy. I have found some documentation of this guy, but it seems that his only genuine claim to fame is hosting this Amerika Atbp. show, which was deleted as unmitigated advertising. I have concerns that the present article is in essence autobiography. In any case, I'm inclined to delete as not notable. Mangoe (talk) 13:42, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Absolutely no proof of notability, especially if all that can be found online is self-authored. Nyttend (talk) 15:19, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say that's all that can be found.(Google News, Filipino Express, NY Times). I'm not sure yet if there is enough substantial material for a NPOV rewrite. • Gene93k (talk) 01:20, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment. The article in its current form is blatant advertising. However Google and Google News searches show WP:RS interest in what he says about immigration and the Philippines in general. • Gene93k (talk) 01:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  treelo  radda  00:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. Trivial coverage in WP:RS, and also a name coincidence with a criminal in google news. VG &#x260E; 01:52, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. And if we don't delete it in this discussion, I will edit it down to one sentence. What fluff! Drmies (talk) 03:58, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Verifiability issues. Also Aranda will be best known? Are we asserting future notability? How odd. Lawshoot! 04:23, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * 'Comment Don't have time to do more now, but a few days ago did some work and got some more, using name variants like "Cris Aranda" etc, and a nickname I forget, got some stuff not in the article - he was a student activist jailed by Marcos, etc. Wasn't sure, forget if I had enough to clearly say keep, but not a clear delete.John Z (talk) 09:55, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Notability issues. --Efe (talk) 11:38, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Aside from notability issues, I also suspect WP:COI just by looking at the nickname of the original author (VisaMan) because the subject helps people with their immigration visas. Starczamora (talk) 19:47, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
