contested prod. original reason: fails the politician notability guideline (WP:POLITICIAN), no significant coverage in reliable sources. Bluemask (talk) 01:47, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep on the basis of being the (former) mayor of a 175K person city.  I acknowledge that there isn't a huge amount of coverage online, but that is to be expected given that The Philippines is a "second world country" at best, and that very few of the countries newspapers are available online.  However, it is highly unlikely that such sources do not exist.  Certainly, we need to find someone with access to more usable sources, but that is more likely to happen by keeping the rticle than by deleting it. --ThaddeusB (talk) 02:24, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep – looks like it would meet the notability guideline for local politicians, being a mayor of a large city and all. Certainly, he has had some press coverage in Philippine sources out there, whether it be web or likely print. MuZemike 21:55, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. There are very little online references that are useful for Philippine-related articles. The best places to go are the Philippine news websites such as that of the Manila Bulletin, the Philippine Daily Inquirer and the Philippine Star, but take note that they have limited archives. The best resources in this case would be print articles, which might mean that someone would need to visit any library such as the National Library of the Philippines. I'm sure there may be a host of articles about this politician in the newspapers, just that we'd need to look beyond the Internet for these sources. --- Tito Pao (talk) 04:51, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep as per ThaddeusB. Edward321 (talk) 04:22, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with the arguments above. Mayor of a large city, in a nation which doesn't have its major newspapers online.   D r e a m Focus  01:55, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
