Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Poblacion 1, Calamba


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Consensus that notability is not met. There was a split in deletes and deletes/redirects. There was also a specific !vote by the nom to delete and then redirect. As the Delete/redirect !vote didn't specify opinion on this, I believe consensus is best met by the nom's route (so this will now be redirected to Calamba, Laguna) Nosebagbear (talk) 11:15, 28 April 2021 (UTC)

Poblacion 1, Calamba

This barangay article is unnotable, lacks inline citations (the only listed source,, is an archived version of the homepage official website of the Province of Laguna and cannot be verified. Other than that the content looks like a barangay database of its officials (epal-esque) and establishments (leaning to WP:DIRECTORY) that is not truly encyclopedic. As there are no concrete reliable sources to back up this barangay article, I am suggesting either delete or delete and redirect (to prevent its resurrection).

 * Delete per nom. (To anyone who plans to defend this article: WP:GEOLAND doesn't guarantee notability.) — hueman1 ( talk •  contributions ) 03:15, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article is more than 5 years old and is still barely a directory of things, which Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT). It's hard to find possible sources for this article that would make it pass WP:GNG because it is a generic small barangay and it even has a generic name (Poblacion 1), which is shared with many other barangays in other cities and municipalities in the country. Any statistical info about this barangay can be up-merged into the parent city article. —seav (talk) 07:04, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect. As noted above, this article is essentially WP:OR and there is unlikely to be much sourcing. These administrative divisions are so numerous and obscure that the Philippine Government Statistics Bureau at the end of 2020 updated the name of a barangay whose name had been changed in 1989. While not identical, this article is similar in its content (small urban sub-division) and lack of sourcing to those considered in Articles for deletion/Ağcakent, Aziziye. I believe the resolution reached there, of redirecting with the possibility of reopening if sources can be gathered showing notability, works well in this situation.

 * Redirect to Calamba, Laguna: Per WP:NOTDIRECTORY. Not all Barangays are notable. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
