 * Redirect to Dinagat Islands: No need for separate article, but it's a plausible search term which does not seem to refer to anything of greater or equal notability, and redirects are cheap. PWilkinson (talk) 22:07, 11 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. It is also known as Governor Glenda Ecleo's Castle and as the "White Castle", e.g. here at https://www.rappler.com/nation/politics/elections-2013/28546-family-feud-and-political-sisterhood-in-dinagat.  So try also:
 * but remove the quotemarks so doesn't search for exact phrase, and add "Dinagat" separately
 * but add "Dinagat" outside the quote marks around "White Castle".
 * It appears to be very prominent while approaching the island by boat, is mentioned in numerous travel guidebooks online. It appears to me to be a significant landmark in the Philippines and probably has historic significance comparable/greater than that of majority of U.S. National Register of Historic Places-listed sites. --Doncram (talk) 04:40, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It does appear to be a prominent current landmark but it looks like recent construction in the photographs and I am not finding anything suggesting historic significance or indicating when it was constructed. Still might be notable as recent construction. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 17:19, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

*COMMENT - The editor who voted to keep or redirect - do keep in mind comment such as "symbol of wealth and power concentration in the Ecleo family", "appear to be a prominent current landmark", "prominent local landmark. Constructed in 2007, it's cost and contrast with the poverty of the surrounding community" is NOT equal to a merit of a page in nobility guidelines in Wikipedia. The above are sentiment perspectives but not constitute a reliable independent source WP:RS for they fail WP:GNS, WP:SIGCOV and WP:GEOFEAT. Thank you.  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 11:37, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The castle is a symbol of wealth and power concentration in the Ecleo family in the Dinagat Islands.  Article on that topic includes photo captioned "Snapshot of economic inequality—the Ecleo family’s “White Castle” in the background; and a fishing village in San Jose Municipality in the foreground.", page 20 in Google Scholar-found academic working paper "Political Dynasties and Mining: A Toxic Mix?", Luz, Juan Miguel and Mendoza, Ronald U. and Siriban, Charles, Political Dynasties and Mining: A Toxic Mix? (August 6, 2015). Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=2640578 or http://dx.doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2640578 . --Doncram (talk) 03:27, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep As others have noted, the building is a prominent local landmark. Constructed in 2007, it's cost and contrast with the poverty of the surrounding community has been noted in multiple reliable sources per Doncram above and this reference I just added: Dinagat: The hands that heal hold power. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 16:55, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep but Rename to Glenda Ecleo. As a member of a national legislature, Eclwo has a seat in the House of Representatives, she passes notability.  The information on this page would be a useful section on her bio page.E.M.Gregory (talk) 01:18, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. and repurpose to an article about Ecleo, who is unquestionably notable.  DGG ( talk ) 05:28, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
