Draft:Ervin Malicdem


None of the references even mention him. Submitted 4 times now, and still no references  DGG ( talk ) 15:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Look again and search for the alias on the citations. They were asking for notability so I add notability and he is notable for his work. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 16:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete - Multiple submissions have provided no improvement in sourcing to establish notability. None of the sources that are considered reliable sources mention the subject.  The unreliable sources mention the name in passing, and the only writeups of substance are primary sources. -- Whpq (talk) 00:07, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, sources do not establish notability.  CookieMonster755   (talk)   02:13, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:BIO, not notable. --Surturz (talk) 04:44, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Pass WP:1E, specifies that one must be able to weigh if the subject can be specified on a larger article so that it can be merged, but there are cases that one can stand on 1 article such as this BLP if it is large or notable enough to expound on one article. (1) This BLP with its contribution during Haiyan as the source of the compiled OpenStreetMap data (the GPS map end-product of the 4 million data changes that 1670+ crisis mappers mapped for the Haiyan crisis) that has been used by multiple international organizations during its rescue operations and relief efforts on contribution is valid enough to be placed into a separate BLP article. This is so far the largest collaboration of mapping advocates to which the second is the earthquake in Haiti. However, if evaluators seem not to perceive it as big as it is, there is also another event (2) where the subject has been a part of the team that won the 1st Philippine animation festival which makes 2 separate notabilities that must be included to one article pertaining to the subject. (3) As the third notability is being the first person to lead a mapping expedition in the Palay-Palay Mataas na Gulod jungle in the Philippines to which the mapping trail produced and shared via the same GPS map is now being trekked by Filipino mountaineers. All in all this satisfies WP:BIO due to strike 3 of the subject's notability. The issue that may have so far is the limited amount of secondary sources where Wikipedia suggests in WP:GNG. Unfortunately most of the secondary sources do give it a passing mention (PBS, Guardian, UNOCHA PH Humanitarian Response, etc)  as it only either links to the subject's mapping resource site or to his alias or a to an explanation of an end-product... but do take note that the end-product is still the GPS map provided by the subject and paper maps printed by other sources. The details are then explained by the OpenStreetMap Wiki on Haiyan which was used as one of the sources. However, let us not forget that even most of the sumptuous source are those of primary and tertiary sources, let us not forget WP:PSTS gives importance to these sources too with the use of common sense. In the end, it is still WP:RELIABLE as well as WP:ANYBIO Let us not allow the deprivation of a notable subject of an article get deleted due to literal implementation of WP:GNG without considering common sense.
