Complete duplication of and integral to Cabuyao, Laguna. P 1 9 9 ✉ 16:35, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related pages for the same reason:

Withdraw deletion nomination as per recent edits by Othanwiki2009. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Question. Why delete rather than discuss merge/redirect?  It may also be worth noting that many cities have separate articles or lists for mayors, neighborhoods, although that's not necessarily most appropriate here. --Arxiloxos (talk) 17:09, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge is not necessary because all the info is already there. Redirect is also pointless because the article title is a most unlikely search item. As for separate articles, I think the parent article is not too large. If the consensus is to keep, I will certainly cut out all the info from the main article. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 18:01, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge both. No hope for expansion at the moment. – H T  D  02:45, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete the articles but merge their contents to Cabuyao, Laguna. Whatever content there is should be at the Cabuyao, Laguna article unless it gets big enough to warrant separate articles for the barangays and mayors. For the time being, I doubt that the titles are viable redirects either. No prejudice against recreation if the Cabuyao article gets bigger. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:32, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This is a little off-topic, but shouldn't the Cabuyao article be at Cabuyao rather than Cabuyao, Laguna? It is the main topic, and the university is in the city, so why does it have such a title. I can understand Batangas City and Batangas, but Cabuyao?

 * There's a discussion at WP:MOSPHIL on how to name city articles. – H T  D  13:00, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

I've already fixed the two articles, List of Barangays in Cabuyao and Mayors of Cabuyao City, by deleting the information in Cabuyao, Laguna that can already be found in these two articles. Making these two as the main articles for such topics. -Othanwiki2009 (talk)
 * Meh, merge them back. The city, with its 248,436 population, shouldn't deserve separate daughter articles for a list of mayors, barangays and stuff. They should be on the main Cabuyao article. It's not we're deleting the info but putting them in a page where most people can see. – H T  D  15:14, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Its population is growing, though it only has 248,436 people but it increases rapidly every year. That city was established in 15th century, it is very much older than the other populated city but with less history, Cabuyao has a complete list of mayors since 1900s, all of its barangays also have their own articles, I guess there's no other reason why that city doesn't deserve to have daughter articles. :s -Othanwiki2009 (talk)
 * That's pretty much irrelevant. Places in Europe are way older and that have the same population shouldn't have spinoff articles such as this. I'd probably agree with spinoff articles for all provincial governors (there isn't one for Laguna, and its city has a spinoff articles?!), but I'd probably accept spinoff articles, which are not just limited to a list of mayors and barangays, such as "politics of" and "history of" and the like if the city has a population of one million.
 * And all barangays have articles? Are they in any way notable? – H T  D  03:33, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Whatever! -Othanwiki2009 (talk)
 * Keep per WP:OUTCOMES - we have almost always kept lists of barangays in larger Philippines cities. I think 1/4 of a million people is a good minimum size to keep. FWIW, not all (or even most) barangays deserve their own article, and in fact, the consensus in the past has been to merge them into such lists. Bearian (talk) 15:13, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
