Singkamas, Makati City

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is pertaining to a village that is not notable.--Scorpion prinz (Talk 23:57, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per Notability (Geographic locations) option one. There's no policy consensus on the notability of geographic locations but I'm inclined to subscribe to the inherent notability of verifiable geographic locations.  Google searches reveal plenty of sources verifying its existence; adding them to the article is a cleanup issue, not an AfD issue. - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:22, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. There are so many pages in Wikipedia that pertains to a barangay. Many of them were brought to AfD and but were kept. Villages are notable, too. It happens that it isn't notable to other people in the world.-- JL 09  q? c|undefined 07:50, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * But there were others that were deleted as well :P --- Tito Pao (talk) 02:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment Many of those barangay AfDs closed with no consensus, which is a keep by default. No consensus is not coterminous with keep. --Sky Harbor (talk) 03:23, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Merge to Makati City after deleting the directory-type content (barangay officials). Inherent notability of geographical places is not a sacred cow and was never a policy, and barangays, especially those in Metro Manila, do not have sufficient notability to merit separate articles. --seav (talk) 16:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment, and still keep. Per WP:NPT option 3, places are inherently notable. I nominated this article for speedy partly because it has no context and that the place is not notable (Google hits show nothing but advertisement sites). But an admin declined the speedy saying that it geographic places are notable. We have articles like Whistley Green that was written like Singkamas, Makati except that Whistley Green has an infobox (I guess it is needed for Singkamas, Makati). Being a place in the Philippines especially Metro Manila or a Third World nation does not mean that they are not notable and does not mean to have own article. Stubbing, cleaning up and infoboxes are necessary, but places on the Third World does not mean we need to demerit its notability, something like that.-- JL 09  q? c|undefined 14:02, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
 * You're citing a dormant proposal which hasn't been discussed in ages. WP:NPT in this case would probably only have as much impact as an essay does, accepted by some but not by others. --Sky Harbor (talk) 17:12, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
