Second Spouse of the Philippines

Possible original research. Google search of local newspapers and government agencies did not produce reliable source for this material. Article also admits that this is an informal title for the wife of the vice president of the Philippines Lenticel  ( talk ) 03:20, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment- Second Lady of the United States says it's informal; how is this different? Dru of Id (talk) 05:16, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
 * There's no comparison in the first place. Let's discuss articles on their own merits (see Other stuff exists). I have no opinion on the general notability of the US version. What we should discuss is the lack of sources supporting the article. -- Lenticel ( talk ) 05:48, 13 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. I don't have a problem with a summary of the VP's spouses of a large SE Asian country (and I don't have a problem with the article on the Second Lady in the US either). --Legis (talk - contribs) 05:28, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per Legis. The VP in this nation of 100,000,000 people is more high-profile than that of a nation with 300,000,000 people. Bearian (talk) 16:24, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete - the VP may be more high-profile (per Bearian's comment), but their wife/husband/partner/etc.? And this is wholly unreferenced, and after two weeks remains wholly unreferenced. Since a number of the people on the list are (I presume) living, we're wandering close to WP:UBLP territory. And even if that doesn't apply, the fact remains a that we have no evidence of most of these people being notable except by association with the veep - note the lack of articles for 8 of 15, and of those, seven are article-ified because they became first lady/gentleman at some point; the outlier is notable as being a mayor of a major city. Lists can include entries of things that aren't notable enough to be mentioined otherwise, but this strikes me as simply "hey, all these people are/were X". - The Bushranger One ping only 09:38, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. A fairly detailed list, which makes for one stop shopping if an editor is searching for such information, rather than going from one VP article to another. &mdash; MrDolomite &bull; Talk 15:10, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
