• User:210.213.174.37 tagged this article for AfD but didn't complete the process. They put their reasoning in the AfD notice: "Not notable enough as a group to warrant their own full article. A Wikipedia category would be enough, since this article is basically turning into a list anyway." I'm just completing the nomination process. My suggestion is keep - notable and encyclopedic. delldot | talk 21:19, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
• There is a visible community so we should keep it but I think the article needs a lot of cleaup.--23prootie 19:35, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletions. -- 23prootie 19:42, 7 February 2007 (UTC)</small
• Delete no notability shown as this is mostly a list. we need text and reference about characteristics of this community not just definition and list Fotografico 04:34, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The article is basically an unreferenced list. There isn't even an assertation of notability, since the article doesn't say anything about significant communites in the country. Seems like someone just wanted a "list of famous filipinos with supposed African blood". Shrumster 10:51, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. Inkpaduta 03:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep and expand, visible minority group - don't see how it's not notable. Lankiveil 12:55, 11 February 2007 (UTC).
• Keep But move the list part to a category. mrholybrain's talk 12:59, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notable but it needs to be sourced. --† Ðy§ep§ion † ^{Speak your mind} 00:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep That this term can be attributed to mulattos of Filipino/African American mix resulting from American army men being stationed in the Philippines definitely makes this notable. A lot of people in Southeast Asia that are of this type of a union are very much discriminated against and live in poverty. It's a notable issue.

• Delete. Should be a category, as the list format adds nothing that a category doesn't supply. WMMartin 14:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per 23prootie. Luckystars 15:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
