[edit] Sister Theresia Unno

Tagged for speedy with not reason given. Here's the current content: "Sister Theresia Unno is a Japanese nun who made a commitment to help the Japanese Mestizos living in poverty at Baguio, Philippines. She helped churches, houses to be built." I have the feeling she's notable in the history of Japanese immigrants to the Philippines [1], and vote keep, but your mileage may vary.

• Keep -Notable not only for Japanese immigrants but Christianity (in Japan- her origin) .--Jondel 10:07, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable - 8 Google hits [2]. Wikipedia is not a memorial. Megan1967 10:45, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Not only has Kappa stated reasons enough, but the first link Megan1967 provided shows she belongs. I added a bit to the article from that link. Google is not the measuring stick of the world. Especially when looking for history. In Asia. --Unfocused 12:34, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. The article is worthy, but it's going to need some expansion. There are bits and pieces about her on Google but nothing solid, so whoever wants to tackle this has their work cut out for them.--Mitsukai 13:56, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Of course they do. She is dead. With only 8 Google hits you'll never get anything more than a stub regurgitating what is already written. Megan1967 04:19, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep You never know, there may be more google hits with her japanese name, and perhaps someone skilled with japanese language could add more information about her. Stancel 14:42, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Already tried looking in Japanese; she's Japanese ethnic of Filipino birth (Japanese-Filipino), so there's no Japanese name other than her surname. What might be needed is someone with Tagalog or Ilocano language skills. --Mitsukai 15:19, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete with only 170 googlehits for Theresia Unno. and that is without quotes, cause then only 8 remain. -MarSch 16:17, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. No need to justify. -- BD2412 ^thimkact 22:12, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
• Keep and stop using Google to determine if a person is notable. And also stop using notability as a sole criterion for deletion. NPOV, nonsense, and self-promotion are much better criteria. Dystopos 00:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
  • An editor in a previous VfD has claimed that "nonsense" amounts to a personal attack. No matter what you say on here people are going to dislike whatever reason you put up - especially if it's their own article. Notability still should be taken into account when considering an article. Megan1967 04:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Subject founded a significant charitable organization. Kelly Martin 05:01, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Peter Ellis 06:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, how is it significant if it's found in so few sources? JamesBurns 05:58, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
  • so few internet sources Kappa 22:15, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless you can expand and improve the article to a considerable extent. Wikisphere 23:03, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per Unfocused. —Markaci 2005-05-21 T 18:35 Z
