Francis Leo Marcos

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Marcos appears to be a somewhat popular YouTuber (but not notable enough as a YouTuber) who then got in trouble with the law over an obscure Optometry Law violation, the details of which violation do not yet appear to have been revealed by authorities. There's really not a lot to build a biography on here. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:04, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment I think I’m going to frame this nomination. Mccapra (talk) 21:23, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Meaning...?
 * Marcos helped people during the enhanced community quarantine in the Philippines. Despite i am critical to him because of his controversy, i voted to keep it. Rdp060707 (talk) 06:07, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Doubtless Marcos has done some good things, and may be a nice guy, but WP:ILIKEIT is not a valid argument to retain this article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:32, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Why you will not retain it? Rdp060707 (talk) 12:11, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The decision to delete has not yet been made. I nominated it for deletion because I do not believe Marcos meets the criteria for inclusion for biographies at Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of all the world's trivia, but rather an encyclopedia of things that are deemed worthy to be known by the whole world for posterity.

 * Delete the coverage is not deep enough to show true notability. Too much of it is focused on his arrest, and that does not meet our definition for notable crimes. This largely stays at a level of news coverage.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:27, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete: A controversial YouTuber who claims to be a nephew of the late Pres. Marcos, which was later on dismissed by Imelda as false. That said, WP:INHERIT does not apply. Search results return mostly news about his arrest for violating a couple of laws, an indication of WP:BLP1E. Barely found anything about him aside from those. He may have done some good deeds during the pandemic, but that doesn't escape him from his controversies. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 09:00, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I don't think he fits notability as a Youtuber so that leaves WP:CRIME. Anyways, would it make him notable enough if he has two pending human trafficking charges? One for trafficking Filipina sex slaves to Cyprus and another for a raid on a men's club which involves several female minors?-- Lenticel ( talk ) 04:00, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP1E, WikiProject YouTube/Notability, and WP:SIGCOV. He's notable for one event - being arrested for illegally handing out eyeglasses (for not having the license to give out prescriptions). As a YouTuber, he's not even close to notability. Outside of the trumped-up arrest, there's no significant coverage. Marcos is a common Filipino name, and even if he were related to the former president, notability is not inherited that way.
