  • Speedy Delete - Obviously a hoax, we all know who the first man on the moon was. Tiptoety 07:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Meets WP:BIO, per User:Eliz81 below. Tiptoety 08:03, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - It should've tagged under CSD--NAHID 07:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete - Not so much a hoax as total unashamed nonsense. --DAJF 07:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment by total, random coincidence, this matches the name of a prominent Philippines politician from the 1930's. I've rewritten the stub with barebones info and will add more. What do you think? ~Eliz81(C) 08:01, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - If it can be expanded. --DAJF 08:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
    • I'm pretty darn ignorant about the history and politics of the country, but hopefully others can help me out here ;) ~Eliz81(C) 08:09, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep due to some impressive (and quick!) editing to show notability. It would appear from google that there is a Gil Montilla National High School as well, which certainly seems to indicate some measure of notability (although I am not absolutely confident it is the same Gil Montilla, so I won't add it to the article). --TeaDrinker 08:17, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
It's in a city from his district, so I added it in. Good catch! :) ~Eliz81(C) 08:40, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep per Eliz81. —dustmite 16:42, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep (thanks to Eliz81). Anyone who's been speaker of the national assembly of the 12th most populous country in the world must be notable. Phil Bridger 21:25, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep He is pretty important in the prewar Philippines Sugar Industry and the most important political machine in the commonwealth. The article could be improved but he was a trusted lieutenant of Quezon and first Speaker of the National assembly, so he is clearly notable. Probably the only reason he hasn't had a proper article till now is his lack of current filipino partisans. Moheroy 23:37, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Talk to WP:PINOY, they can help.--125.212.21.31 03:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep bordering on Speedy, now that the hoax has been replaced with a bio which albeit very rapidly put together, does have assertions of notability. Obviously it needs some more work and citations, but I think it is obvious that this article is no longer the same one that was nominated. ArakunemTalk 21:07, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Citation now added for notability and verifiability. I find tons of references to the high school and barnegay but nothing linking him and the naming despite the obviousness. spryde | talk 21:17, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
