Does not qualify WP:LOCAL. --BritandBeyonce (talk) 07:13, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a barangay, a unit of local government in the Philippines. I think it should be regarded as automatically notable, on the principle that all towns and villages are notable. The 2000 census listed it with 444 inhabitants (or 91 households). --Eastmain (talk) 10:33, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. barangays are not towns, rather they are parts of towns, so they do not meet the automatic qualifications given by WP:LOCAL and WP:OUTCOMES. Therefore, for them to be kept they should pass WP:NOTE. Google only says that a Japanese camp was set there during WWII (I'm pretty sure Japanese camps are everywhere during the Japanese occupation.) That does not give a very good argument for notability.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 12:09, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Dagami, Leyte until this barangay have a considerable coverage to merit a separate article. -- bluemask  (talk) 14:35, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge per Bluemask. cab (talk) 00:56, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete or Merge. Almost all barangays in the Philippines are not notable enough in themselves to merit individual articles in Wikipedia and there is a problem of getting enough reliable sources to create a full-fledged article. A simple Google search does not turn up any non-trivial sources that refer to this barangay. For similar deletion debates see [1] and [2]. --seav (talk) 06:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
