I was going to remove the bad sources, but then I realized that if I removed the agenda-based sources that lack editorial oversight/fact-checking, the sources affiliated with the subject, etc., there just wasn't anything left, basically. Dude isn't notable, never even got out of his party's primary. Not a GNG/BIO pass. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 16:05, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete non-notable BLP. being cousin of a "the late Philippine Senator" is not notable. running for US senate and not-winning your own party's primary vote is not notable. being a hots/producer on public access tv is not notable.Cramyourspam (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Upgrading to Strong Delete since this article was already deleted once AND in that debate, there was an AUTOBIOGRAPHY confession "I ...typed the entry, John Roco ....I made it. I tried remove all unbiased parts, but is hard when you are actually John Roco so please jury", said User:John Roco. Elsewhere appears this: " I am John Roco and was recently deleted.... yes, I did the 'John Roco' article" said User:John Roco. since the User:John Roco account has been inactive since 2010, i believe the new article is the work of a WP:SOCK.Cramyourspam (talk) 19:19, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
 * This seems probable since the creator's only contributions are making this article and linking/talking about Roco in other articles. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 20:48, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Nothing notable here. The advocacy organization he founded has already been deleted as non-notable, and his political endeavors fell far short of notability. --MelanieN (talk) 01:19, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The revelations provided by Cram clearly point to a conflict of interest issue to the point that the references given must be highly suspect in their reliability and independence of the subject. BritainD (talk) 00:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
