This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Philippines. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

  • To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
  • Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  • You can also tag the AfD by adding
{{subst:delsort|Philippines}}<small>—~~~~</small>
to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
  • Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
  • You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Philippines.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia

[edit] Philippines

[edit] Ed Biado

Ed Biado (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Since they may have a lot of material published under a by-line on the web, the notability of professional writers and journalists can be tricky to understand. Most of the sources cited by this article are things written by Mr Biado himself, which does not confer him with wide notability through independent coverage by reliable sources which have published pieces in which he is the subject. There has also been odd, steady vandalism. A Philippines IP editor has tagged it as spam and as a joke, hinting something here is likely amiss. The article even quotes his Friendster profile. What's that about? Gwen Gale (talk) 15:06, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment I brought this speedy up to Gwen following my own hesitations due to the vandalism mentioned above. It was tagged once as a hoax, but the person does exist as a published writer. I agree that I have not been able to find coverage of him yet, and if it isn't found it probably should be deleted (although some seem to be kept, and others deleted in AfDs). However I think the fact that he's a writer for a newspaper asserted enough notability to avoid a speedy on the grounds of A7. I plan to keep looking for coverage of him/his work during the AfD.

  • Delete, despite his sage advice on socks. Socks are a "basic" consideration for any well-dressed man and attractive socks are an indispensible addition to all male wardrobes, an expert has commented. Thank you for that aperçu, Ed, sock expert; I plan to remember it and think I'll go with navy blue tomorrow. -- Hoary (talk) 15:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete Trivial accomplishments. But none the less enough accomplishments that it wasnt a speedy. DGG (talk) 17:44, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletion discussions. —Lenticel (talk) 03:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete due to notability concerns. There are no independent and reliable source that is focused on the writer himself.--Lenticel (talk) 03:11, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of programs broadcast by ABS-CBN

List of programs broadcast by ABS-CBN (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Unnotable and excessive list of programs aired by a television channel in the Phillipines. Wikipedia is "not electronic program guide" and not an indiscriminate list. A list of every minor program ever broadcast by this single channel is not appropriate and does not "contribute to the state of human knowledge." Nor do THREE lists. How many lists does one channel need? Failed Prods with removal reason of "object: why only prod the list of ABS-CBN there are more than a dozen lists of programs of other networks out there?"

I am also nominating the following related pages because they are similar; redundant lists:

List of programs broadcast by ABS-CBN Regional Network Group (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)
List of shows previously aired by ABS-CBN (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

-- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 03:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Keep: List of programs broadcast by ABS-CBN only... other two lists may be deleted. pikdig (talk) 04:04, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Keep: The current list. Merge the other two lists into the current lists. pikdig (talk) 17:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletion discussions. —Lenticel (talk) 09:32, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Keep for the list of current and previous programs. For the regional network group list, merge to the current list. Please take note that ABS-CBN is one of the major networks here in the Philippines. -Danngarcia (talk) 11:30, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Merge "sub-lists" into main list as ABS-CBN is a major network and a list of shows is key. –thedemonhog talk • edits 18:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge everything with the main list. ABS-CBN fanboys tend to edit with wanton abandon, as I have noticed. Starczamora (talk) 15:42, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Strong Keep the current list and Merge the "sub-list" to the main list. ABS-CBN is one of the major networks here in the Philippines. Dehm46 (talk) 15:52, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jendo

Jendo (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Previously speedied as a hoax. Nate1481(t/c) 14:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Delete. Every source I can find seems to have been written by the same person. Gr1st (talk) 15:17, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete was deleted before alongside the now recreated Traditional Arnis and the founder's page, which has also been recreated (Jonathan Makiling Abaya); I don't think it was a hoax, though, just not notable. JJL (talk) 16:29, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete it is not a hoax. However, it is not notable. Google Books and Google Scholar searches return empty handed. Google search provides some info but most are only passing TV appearances. There are no independent and reliable source regarding its use in Filipino Martial Arts tournaments.--Lenticel (talk) 23:38, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete small-circle Philippine martial art. Ohconfucius (talk) 04:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. An offshoot school of Arnis that is yet to pass notability. Starczamora (talk) 15:39, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gayuma (band)

Gayuma (band) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Notability and Verifiability in question. Notability issues due to failure to pass the requirements in WP:BAND. Only claim to notability is winning Red Horse Muziklaban which only gives a recording contract with Viva Records but no sources suggest that they already released a charted album. Verifiability issues as well as Google search reveals no independent reliable sources. Note that "gayuma" means love potion in Filipino so you might get false positives.--Lenticel (talk) 00:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Philippines-related deletion discussions. —Lenticel (talk) 00:03, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Bands and musicians-related deletion discussions. —Eastmain (talk) 00:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete, article fails to establish notability as per WP:MUSIC.  Esradekan Gibb  "Talk" 00:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Just winning this contest doesn't make the band notable...actually, coming to think of it, I have yet to find out if the previous winners of this contest made it good as well, enough to deserve their own WP article. So for now, I'd go for a delete. --- Tito Pao (talk) 03:07, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete The contest they won isn't notable much less the band itself. And the fact that their official site is a Friendster profile doesn't give the article much more notability either. Gwandoya Talk 18:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. The contest they won (although it is nationwide in scope) is not televised, they have yet to have an album. Starczamora (talk) 15:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

The GUIDON (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Non-notable comic, no outside sources or indication of notability MBisanz talk 05:25, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Malinaccier (talk) 15:00, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep The article is pretty bad, but there is enough demonstration of notability for a start. – sgeureka t•c 13:02, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
