 * Relist Comment - The AFD was closed on the 8th May as No Consensus ... however no one's !voted Keep so realistically it should've been deleted, Saw no point starting another nomination as nothing's changed since April so relisting for a third time, Thanks, – Davey 2010 Talk 15:41, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:NPOSSIBLE. Director/writer of dozens of notable films and television shows. Sources must certainly exist, perhaps not in English. Tagged with refimprove. -- IamNotU (talk) 17:34, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete; obviously non-notable. No sources in any language found. He doesn't even have a tl. article. No evidence he's the actual director/writer of said shows. Burden of evidence is on the keeper above. Best, FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  17:54, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
 * I easily found several references to him in reliable sources such as the Philippine Daily Inquirer, which for example called the Encantadia series "groundbreaking" and "much celebrated". Again, the existence of dozens of Wikipedia articles on notable works, listing him as director or writer, contradicts the characterization of "obviously non-notable". A number of those articles also need more reliable sources, but I think enough can be found there to support notability for him. The burden is on the nominator to carry out due dilligence in searching for sources WP:BEFORE nominating. "The absence of sources or citations in an article (as distinct from the non-existence of sources) does not indicate that a subject is not notable." It's not my responsibility to improve the article's content, just because someone nominated it for deletion. -- IamNotU (talk) 20:14, 24 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - I added a reference from The Philippine Star, the biggest newspaper in the Philippines. There are more in English to be found with Google, not to mention likely many in the Filipino/Tagalog language that most of his works are in, which may not be accessible on the Internet. Please try to be more careful when nominating or supporting deletion of non-Western biographies. spent less than two minutes searching for sources before declaring him "not yet notable"... he's been notable in the Philippines - a country with a population of 100 million - for at least a decade or two. -- IamNotU (talk) 15:58, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
