 * Keep - AFD is not BLPPROD. Even on my cruddy web connection via my smartphone, it seems like there are reviews and other references (on the subject's literary career) that indicate at least a pass of GNG. EricEnfermero (Talk) 01:15, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Clearly very notable with lots of coverage on news media. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:20, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I am not suggesting its not notable. But we have a rule about BLPs. Rathfelder (talk) 09:58, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
 * And an established procedure for handling unsourced BLPs. It seems like it would be easiest just to add a source, but if that's not feasible, you should opt for WP:BLPPROD. EricEnfermero (Talk) 15:59, 2 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep per EricEnfermero's rationale. Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 20:21, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

 * How is the article a "total failure of the general notability guidelines"? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:29, 4 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - Coverage for him, at least online, isn't too much, but it does exist. He also appears to have won some awards: this link from the Philippine Daily Inquirer suggested that he received a "Gawad Alagad ni Francisco Balagtas" award from a national writer's guild. There has also apparently been coverage about his books as well, some of which have been adapted into plays. This press release, although a press release, does seem to confirm that he has won other awards as well; other independent sources I could find also seem to confirm this. While the article needs some work, WP:AFDISNOTCLEANUP. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 03:29, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
