 * Keep - It's hard to find sources for a person whose group was active in the 70's, at a time when the Philippines was a dictatorship, under martial law, print media was controlled, and when the internet didn't exist yet. Any coverage about Hagibis is probably either not online, in an archive somewhere, or lost. However, I can see two articles from the Manila Bulletin that are primary about Parsons, so that's enough for me to establish notability. Note that his crime was from around 2005, so expect that at least some coverage will be gone due to link-rot. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 11:41, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak delete unless better sources can be found. Something establishing notability as a performer. FurrySings (talk) 16:20, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep – There is also coverage here in 2002 in The New York Times describing him as a "Philippine action-film star" and this in the South China Morning Post saying he is a "film star". Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 04:02, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Highly possible that there are print sources in the Philippines. I've had the same issues with some older Indonesian singers (Titiek Puspa comes to mind... almost nothing on her early career some sixty years ago) — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
