Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Philippines

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. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not 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. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

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. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Philippines|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Philippines. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

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.

BEFORE search brings up only wikipedia mirrors, website is expired. There's no claim to notability in the article. I don't know why a defunct TV station would be notable but this is not it. -- D'n'B-📞 -- 15:04, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pangangan Island

See WP:ANI incident for context. Pangangan Island passes notability per WP:GEONATURAL but it's better to start from scratch than incorporate the LLM inputs in the article's history. --Lenticel ^(talk) 00:59, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mister Philippines 2007

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Tagged as Unreferenced for 12+ years. This has been proposed for deletion three times in that time. No other language has an article from which to translate. A WP:BEFORE search revealed Zero reliable sources online Google, Zero sources on Google news, and only two sources on Google books/newspapers (both from the somewhat unreliable and always conjectural Manila Times), thus lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Bearian (talk) 16:16, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, fails WP:GNG / WP:NEVENT. Concur that if the event didn’t happen then it is not notable. Dan arndt (talk) 00:13, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, an article on something that doesn't exist is the definition of not passing WP:GNG. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 03:23, 22 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

100 Awit Para Kay Stella

Appears to fail WP:NFF. Nothing found to support notability. I would also support a move to DRAFT until released. DonaldD23 talk to me 11:09, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Film and Philippines. DonaldD23 talk to me 11:09, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now, until WP:FPP is satisfied. Preview says "from the plot to the release date, details about the upcoming film remain under wraps". As the sequel for 100 Tula Para Kay Stella, the film will be notable, just not right now. Howard the Duck (talk) 11:29, 21 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tawag ng Tanghalan season 1

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Virtually all references are WP:PRIMARY (ABS-CBN/Facebook/Youtube) thus failing WP:GNG. This was originally sent to WP:PROD but was deprodded. Howard the Duck (talk) 21:56, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gosh Dilay

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The article lacks significant coverage in reliable sources. The references only offer passing mentions and didn't provide in-depth information to support a standalone article or biography, failing yo meet the criteria of WP:GNG and WP:BLP. ROY is WAR Talk! 08:20, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Helios (company)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NCORP. Source 1 barely mentions the company. Sources 2, 3 and 5 are very similar; 3 and 5 appear to be unbylined press releases and 2 is churnalism of the same press release. Source 4 is non-independent as practically all information comes from the mouth of cofounder Alexander Aronson. Sources 6 and 7 don't load (probably a result of using ChatGPT). I can't find any non-routine coverage of the company. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:54, 17 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Most of the sources are either press releases or dependent on the company's own statements, and there's little independent coverage to support inclusion. Additionally, the written style raises concerns per WP:LLM, as it resembles suspicious content. AdobongPogi (talk) 03:46, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Higino A. Acala Sr.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Barely any reliable sources seen in Google Books and in an outside search. His role doesn't seem notable, as he doesn't have any coverage (the movement seems quite notable but only in law sources). Other than that, he isn't notable whatsoever. 🍗TheNuggeteer🍗 (My "blotter") 04:08, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I was unable to find a copy of the listed reference - Elvin A. Cabañero; Higino M. Acala Jr. (2000). Biography of Higino Acala Sr - on the Internet; though as one of the authors appears to be his son, it is probably not sufficiently independent regardless. Curbon7 (talk) 04:23, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I've spent some more time looking for sources with a number of search queries, but none have returned any significant coverage (actually, this returned almost no sourcing at all besides name-drops in lists of lawyers in the Philippines [1]), and I do not think the book above would be reliable as it is written by two relatives. The subject did not hold an WP:NPOL-qualifying position, nor does he appear to pass WP:GNG. There is no obvious WP:ATD target, so delete. Curbon7 (talk) 04:43, 18 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the National Schools system are selective-admissions, special funded, and administered schools in the Philippines. This school in particular has gotten significant coverage in books and the media. Bearian (talk) 11:22, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There were 6 books search hits. Three were government sources about laws appropriating the school its budget, as it is a national school and is financed and controlled by the national government. Financing this school is on every annual national budget, so if Google Books has copies of the national budget or the Congressional Record starting from 2004, there'd be 21 such instances. I do not think that counts as WP:GNG. Two seem to be biographies about authors (not WP:GNG for the school per se), and the other seems to be a bad hit.

There are five media sources. These looks to be (1) 6 Valenzuela schools getting computers, of which this school is one of them, (2) back to school news with the same old problems (not specific for this school, FWIW), (1) some student from this school winning an award (not WP:GNG for this school per se), and (1) students from this school going to the public library for national library day (you could argue this to be WP:GNG for the school, the library, or both).
