 * Keep and Expand This person seems to be of historical interest (see our Dear and Glorious Leader, Google), but the article needs more info. -- 0zymandias 21:51, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
 * cleanup tag since June 2005: I doubt the article will expand itself - are you doing it? Deleteme42 21:57, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand. Notable historical figure, and the fact that it hasn't been expanded yet doesn't mean that it never will be. We're a work in progress, yo, and eventually someone who knows their history of the Philippines will take care of it. Until then, it's not hurting anything. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 16:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * See my comment in Articles for deletion/David Snowdon (second nomination). Unfortunately, it seems in this case even an AfD isn't enough motivation for anyone to improve the article. Deleteme42 16:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You appear to be confused. AFD isn't for expansion or improvement; it's for deletion. WP:CU is thataway, and if you aren't content to wait, you can always feel free to improve them yourself. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 17:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 1.40% of all Wikipedia articles are listed for cleanup Category:Cleanup_by_month plus even more with other tags like e.g. wikify. There are 16,037 articles listed at Category:Cleanup_by_month (with at about 100 new articles each day) - I doubt adding them to WP:CU would help. This article has a cleanup tag since one year, is not linked by any Wikipedia article and does not cite it's sources. If someone will now or at any time in the future create a proper article about him that's perfectly fine with me. But as we've discussed on my talk page, it seems we won't agree on such issues...

 * Keep &mdash; Notable, even in brief form. RJH (talk) 19:31, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete There's no context and the notability claim seems fairly weak to me. The first four Google hits are for Wikipedia or mirror sites. K e rowyn 22:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and expanded it a bit, though this really isn't my forte. There look to be a lot of good Spanish-language sources on the guy, including some books he published in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, if anybody who knows Spanish feels like having a go. -Hit bull, win steak(Moo!) 01:53, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
