[edit] Brendon Martinez

No Vote I tried looking up a number of strings and found it to be non-verifiable on Google and also on sensis.com.au. I also looked up http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0464866/fullcredits (Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin on IMDb) and found no mention of him. However, I have found some hits with the thread Brandon Martinez Kanta na Pag-Ibig on Google (as the page might be a typo), but all the writing with this in appears to be in Tagalog/Filipino, which I cannot read. I thought that this might be the reason why the db-bio I put on the page originally disappeared, but since that was removed by the article creator, I am starting to think that the article might be nothing more than vanity and male cow faeces. My main doubt as to whether or not the page has grounds for deletion is the Tagalog/Filipino I found, hence my listing here with no vote rather than re-db'ing it. Sorry if I'm cluttering up AfD with this. -LichYoshi 11:42, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete If we can't prove the notability despite trying and the author removes the db-bio without giving a clue why the person is notable, then it remains db-bio-able. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 20:21, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
  • The db-bio criterion requires that the article not even claim notability in a plausible way. This article claims the guy is famous as an actor, so it's not a speedy. Non-verifiability is not a speedy criterion: one of the reasons why the AfD process takes so long is that you have to give people time to look for verification. — Haeleth Talk
• Delete (but not speedily) as non-verifiable, unless someone steps in with a reference. — Haeleth Talk 23:25, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Poor ability to search a topic does not make it less than notable. Certainly proof would do it justice, but seeing as the actor is from a foreign country and IMDB as well as Google have not the database extensive enough to search every subject, I believe this article provides information on a topic that is not found in those places thus making it quite valuable to Wikipedia Big Booger 15:12, 8 November 2005 (UTC)]
  • However, poor ability to search a topic does make it non-verifiable, and it is a fundamental policy that we only include information we are able to verify. Proof would not merely "do it justice": proof is an absolutely basic requirement, without which the article is not appropriate for inclusion on Wikipedia. — Haeleth Talk 16:56, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
  • What you suggest would be construed as Original research. -LichYoshi 14:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
