Unnotable Filipino local politician elected to a barangay ("the smallest administrative division in the Philippines") council. No references. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:39, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: What a shame. A well-written article—but no references (the article's creator promised to search for refs in September 2007, but never provided any), and no notability. I'm not even bothering to search: the article is very detailed and nothing sounds notable. הסרפד (Hasirpad) [formerly Ratz...bo] 03:36, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete - yes, a shame, because he clearly did more than most of the myriad local politicians for whom we have articles. One query - he was elected "Chairman" of that council. Would that be the equivalent of mayor? I'm conscious that he died in 1994 so I wonder whether local (offline) coverage would have been more significant at the time. Anyway, right now the subject would not seem to pass WP:GNG. Stalwart111 10:52, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Being a chairman of the Barangay Council, the legislature of a fourth-level subdivision of which there are more than 40,000 in the country, won't cut it. –HTD 05:24, 3 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Unfortunately, despite his impressive works as a barangay chairman, barangay chairmen are not automatically notable. Such a shame too since his article is better than several articles on notable Filipino politicians. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:49, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
