Philippine Fathers

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

List organization and Original Research in question. Cited reliable sources only support claims that the individuals in this article are indeed called father of something. The lumping together of Philippine fathers on the other hand is only supported by a blog source. The monikers of being the father of something should be added (and cited) in the person's own wiki article if they're notable. This article is like lumping the Father of Bebop and the Father of the Internet in a list called "American Fathers" because they happened to be called fathers and they're both Americans.

 * Delete. This is an extremely arbitrary list with trivial, not encyclopedic value. The title "Father of " is given out too liberally in many fields to be of use. --seav (talk) 03:20, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete concur with above. JJL (talk) 03:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator. Afkatk (talk) 04:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as original research sourced only to a blog; it's sufficient to mention the titles in the respective biographies, if relevant. - Biruitorul Talk 05:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Not an encyclopedic topic. Tim Ross   (talk)  13:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

 * How does that get us any closer to satisfying WP:V, WP:RS, WP:N, WP:NEO, etc? - Biruitorul Talk 20:56, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It suggests that Timlight does not know about User:Timlight/sandbox where perhaps this should have gone. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy to User:Timlight/sandbox so the author may continue to work on this article/list. It has potential.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 03:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. We shouldn't lead editors to believe anything resembling this might be appropriate for inclusion by userfying their junk for them. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 18:14, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per Biruitorul. This is original research. Stifle (talk) 11:14, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
