Icoy de Guzman

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable politician. Running in a race, but not indications he won that race, or that he was ever mentioned except briefly in passing in connection to him running against someone more notable. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:36, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete. I can't find anything that would make mr Guzman wiki-notable.  Yinta n   20:30, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Subject has received some coverage, arguably significant, in non-primary reliable sources; however, the coverage is primarily regarding the subject's candidacy for a future election. Therefore, it can be argued that the subject is only notable for one event, and thus falls under WP:BLP1E. Furthermore, the subject clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN, for being a candidate for an election does not automatically denote notability. Therefore failing POLITICIAN and not being notable for realms outside of politics, I believe that the subject of this AfD is not yet notable to warrant a standalone BLP article.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:28, 4 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose for deletion - He is an professional filipino lawyer and it significates importance, Read A7. -ItagaMoSaBato (talk) 09:57, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * There are hundreds, if not thousands, of lawyers in the Philippines, what makes them all notable. Please see WP:GNG & WP:ANYBIO. Has the subject of this AfD received in-depth significant coverage from non-primary reliable sources? If so present those sources for others to evaluate? Furthermore, even if there is significant coverage, are they regarding a single event? If they are, then the subject falls under WP:BLP1E, and if the event is due to a candidacy than we need to further the subject per the definitions of notability for politicians.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 13:28, 5 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete fails notability standards. Searching the Philippine major dailies did not produce significant results.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 15:22, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - being a candidate is not a claim to notability unless he/she has been the subject of enough significant, reliable coverage. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:11, 6 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Oppose for deletion - He seated as a member of Navotas City Council, from 2001-2004, he run again in 2004 and  2007, but lost. It significates importance because he seated as an politician -110.55.154.190 (talk) 03:09, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:POLITICIAN notes that offices below the national or provincial level are not de facto notable, falling back to the WP:GNG requirement of significant coverage, of which we have no evidence for de Guzman. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:13, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. While WP:POLITICIAN may not be helpful at least on Philippine context for some parts (Navotas is not a part of any province), articles in Category:Filipino city and municipal councilors are either councilors who have seved in higher offices (Francis Pangilinan, Mike Defensor), or were notable on some other fields (Kim Atienza, Isabelo de los Reyes); the sole exception might be Carmen Planas, but she was the first woman to be elected in any position in the Philippines. Those who are primarily known for being a councilor and nothing else aren't there. – H T  D  13:17, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
