Does not pass WP:PROF even if DLSU is to be considered a "major academic institution" under Criterion 6, considering that the posts he held were not the highest-level positions in the university. Moray An Par (talk) 03:10, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Keep sounds like a beloved Mr. Chips type who ran a high school for many years, then became an administrator at a college beloved by the alumni who named a gold tournament after him. Not really an academic, more of a religious educator. I think to get better sourcing, you'd need Tagalog and English language newspapers to put their archives online. There's enough here for a Keep, and a deletion would only increase Wikipedia's rather glaring bias in favor of subjects in countries that have their newspaper archives online - like US.I.Casaubon (talk) 23:07, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep - vice-president of a major university (QS ranking 451) and I think the sources currently cited suggest the existence of more.Anthem 12:41, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Note Anthem of joy has been indef blocked as a sockpuppet of Claritas . --Tothwolf (talk) 04:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Being a vice president of a major university doesn't make one notable per our current notability guidelines on academics. Moray An Par (talk) 05:06, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete only passing mention news, and only one mention in a book which may fall under WP:SPS. Does not appear to meet the significant coverage requirement of WP:GNG. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 01:21, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete No indication of more than routine administrative responsibility, and not notable as author or researcher.   DGG ( talk ) 21:47, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
