Promotional article supported by citations in publications like https://www.weblyf.com/2017/08/from-passion-to-profession-a-young-digital-marketers-journey-to-success/ that written by contributors who happen to also sit on the same board as the subject. http://www.davaoeagle.com/author/patpat/ More evidence of attempts to use Wikipedia for promotion at http://www.davaoeagle.com/about/ which cites a Wikipedia that was also written by Webstrike.

 * Delete. Paid Article of zero merit. scope_creep (talk) 16:14, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is not a Paid Article with sources. Thank you! webstrike (talk) 21:33, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * The nomination does not say it's a paid article. It says the article is promotional, which is not permitted, per policy. The nomination also acknowledges there are sources, but explains that they cannot be used because they don't meet our requirements for independence and reliability.

 * Sorry, I just read the comments that it was a paid article. By the way, I removed the sources that doesn't meet the requirements and I will also add other reliable sources later today. I find the article more of informational than promoting but otherwise, I'll do more edits. Thanks Mduvekot Webstrike (talk) 22:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. Sources are valid of Philippine Daily Inquirer, of Globe Telecom for their award with Davao Eagle. 96.52.77.42 (talk) 01:18, 3 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Comment IP: 96.52.77.42 is a SPA account, exclusively editing on Michael Vicente, and has a WP:COI issue. The first url doesn't mention the name of Vicente, nor the second weirdly. They are both for the company, not the man. scope_creep (talk) 11:36, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete not enough sources about Vicente to establish notability. Wikipedia is not Linkedin.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:13, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
