List of slums in the Philippines

 * Delete. As the nom indicates, there are no inclusion criteria given. Furthermore, of the five entries on this list, only two have articles of their own, and one of them, Pandacan, is described in its own article as follows: "Socioeconomically, the majority of the residents of Pandacan range from lower- to upper-middle class." That doesn't sound much like a slum. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:53, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. It's theoretically possible that a list of notable "slums" could be compiled for the Philippines, as for example we have List of favelas in Brazil, but the current list lacks criteria and thus isn't particularly helpful for navigation or information.  For example, it points to our article on Tondo, which is arguable (Tondo is known for slums but is the entire district a slum?), rather than to our article on Smokey Mountain,which is the most famous squatter community in the country and one of the most famous in the world. -Arxiloxos (talk) 06:11, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment Merge & redirect to Poverty in the Philippines, The subject of Slums in the Philippines appears to have received sufficient significant coverage to pass WP:GNG, and might make a great section on an article such as Poverty in the Philippines, but it could be argued that slum is a POV-term that could be replaced with low-income affordable housing community. So I am not going to support deletion, but perhaps it could be used as a foundation about a more notable wider scope subject.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 17:59, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of reliable sources that classifies these locations as slums.-- Lenticel ( talk ) 00:01, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete due to a lack of reliable sources. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:41, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete due to lack of sources and absence of valid criteria. Very, very POV, and with factual errors as well. I wouldn't consider a merge at all considering the state of this article. A list of slums with sources, critera, and exposition would be great for Poverty in the Philippines, but that is not this list. Sang&#39;gre Habagat (talk) 15:26, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete and Objection to merge. An unsourced list with no narrative prose is completely unsuitable for merging. -- Whpq (talk) 19:52, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
