Mines and Geosciences Bureau Region 13 (Philippines)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Delete because DENR-MGB Regional Office No. 13 isn't notable, it fails the notability guideline for organizations. References for it are just mentions. There is little mention in outside sources. Mines and Geosciences Bureau has its own article, and the little bit (there is almost nothing other than its mandate) about Office #13 could fit in there. The bulk of the content of this article doesn't deal with the Regional Office, instead it is a rehash about the minerals and geology of the Caraga Region of northeastern Mindanao, more appropriately covered in Philippine Mobile Belt where much of it already is. Since none of that geology material is referenced here, and it is duplicative of material there, any useful material should be moved there and subject to improvement at its more appropriate location. --Bejnar (talk) 05:13, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment The article currently seems to focus on the geology of the Caraga region, rather than the geologic bureau in charge of it. I haven't done a copyvio check, but provided that's not an issue, we might just be able to rename the article "geology of the Caraga region (philipines)" remove some superfluous information, and suddenly have a pretty decent article about something else entirely.--Licks-rocks (talk) 08:40, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The problem is two fold, (1) the geology of the Caraga region is not significantly different from that of the Philippine Mobile Belt, but the other problem is that (2) none of the geology that this editor put forth is referenced to any sources. --Bejnar (talk) 21:21, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
 * yeah, that's a real shame. --Licks-rocks (talk) 19:17, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

Merge merging with the Philippine Mobile Belt is my recommendation in agreement with User:Bejnar. Paul H. (talk) 17:06, 2 December 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting as there are multiple Redirect/Merge targets suggested. This looks like a possible ATD. Please add new comments below this notice.

 * The article is about a bureau/sub-unit of a top-level government organization. To use an American-centric example, it's as if hte county/city office of the DMV decided they should have their own Wikipedia article. With that in mind, I'd argue in favor of a redirect to DENR. --- Tito Pao (talk) 07:44, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mines and Geosciences Bureau and disperse relevant content to different pages (geology of Caraga region to the Philippine Mobile Belt page, mandate and relevant work of the regional office to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau page and so on.) -Ian Lopez @ 15:59, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Merge with Philippine Mobile Belt per Bejnar's argument. SBKSPP (talk) 06:45, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Relisting comment: We still have 3 different Redirect/Merge targets mentioned here. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz Read! Talk! 08:36, 16 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm also fine with retargetting to Mines_and_Geosciences_Bureau per WP:ATD -- Lenticel ( talk ) 01:43, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
