Unreferenced, primary work is by COI editor. May be notable enough, but not in this form. Naraht (talk) 21:02, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. It's a 50 plus year old international alumni and collegiate fraternity and sorority so it is unlikely to disappear. The article has been actively edited for about 6 years. Give the article more time to get references. Knox490 (talk)
 * Exactly, 6 years of editing and no references. How long until a version exists with references then?Naraht (talk) 13:14, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Most (or even all} of the available references are probably in a different language such as Tagalog. In addition, English is a national language in the Philippines, but many Filipinos don't have strong English skills (English commonly atrophy after their primary/secondary school schooling). And between earning a living in a developing country and other priorities, editing the English language Wikipedia in terms of adding references is probably not very high on most Filipinos list. The article is informative though and worth keeping.Knox490 (talk) 02:18, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I've spent significant time working on List of hazing deaths in the Philippines and Alpha Phi Omega (Philippines), so I've definitely worked with that issue. I've google searched Gamma Kappa Phi and there don't appear to be any secondary references in English, Tagalog or Cebuano. http://www.gammakappaphi.com is completely a primary source. There is no mention at the Phillipine Star, which does have a number of references to Alpha Phi Omega, Tau Gamma Phi, Alpha Kappa Rho and others.Naraht (talk) 08:16, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Undecided. Usually I support keeping articles about college fraternities and sororities if they can be verified to have chapters at multiple universities. But this article is not well sourced, and much of the content should be cut if the article is to be kept (such a discussion of a feud among chapters as to what year the fraternity was founded and a list of alumni who are not notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles). --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:03, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
