Fails WP:GNG. The barangay is not that notable. Nickrds09 (Talk to me) 04:21, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. Needs sourcing for WP:V, which seems to be available from cursory googling. But from my understanding of WP:GEOLAND, even the tiniest populated areas (including barangays/villages) have inherent notability, as long as they are legally recognized.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  10:02, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Problem is, if barangay is being used colloquially -- as the article says may be the case -- then this could be a neighbourhood rather than a legally recognized place, in which case WP:GEOLAND states the notability is not inherent. I'm not casting a !vote, just pointing this out. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 20:05, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

 * It's official. It has its own elected administration (a barangay captain and councilors). It's also listed as one of the 14 barangays of the municipality of Bustos in the official website of the Province of Bulacan.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  16:55, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Also tangentially: to clarify, a "neighborhood" is actually also usually legally recognized in the Philippines, as barangays are usually that in dense urban areas (instead of discrete villages). That said, some "neighborhoods", like gated communities, suburbs, or housing projects can be informally referred to as "barangay", despite not having a separate local government.-- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  17:10, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. VegasCasinoKid (talk) 10:29, 23 November 2016 (UTC)  Blocked sockpuppet— UY Scuti  Talk  14:43, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a legally recognized place (thanks Obsidian Soul for confirming this), this subject plainly satisfies WP:GEOLAND standards. Antepenultimate (talk) 01:24, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
