WP:TOOSOON, one confirmed driver change is not enough to justify an article at this stage. Fecotank (talk) 10:56, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: With Holden being retired by the end of 2020, I think it will be interesting to see how it will go with other teams, will they move to other manufacturers? Or will they withdraw from the series. Plus the possibility of Gen3 to be fast-tracked to 2021 to cater for Holden's retirement.Hiflex480 (talk) 11:56, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Draftify Fails WP:SIGCOV. A Google search for "2021 Supercars Championship" -wikipedia.org brought up just over 100 results, and most appeared to be blogs, forums, and the like. There simply isn't enough evidence to suggest that this is already considered a notable event. However, previous races of this type most certainly are notable, so I believe it is simply a matter of time. I suggest keeping this as a draft until more reliable sources can be found to back up the information in the article as well as to establish notability. --PuzzledvegetableIs it teatime already? 18:49, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This article has since been improved. Retracting !vote. --PuzzledvegetableIs it teatime already? 18:41, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: This is probably the best part as it's way too soon to see what the fallout of this is going to be with the removal of Holden. At best it's probably best to keep it as a draft but for now I would say delete it and create within six or seven months when we have more info. HawkAussie (talk) 05:53, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep I was over sighted with my thought and if it wasn't for Holden removing themselves from 2021, then I would have gone the other way. For now I switch my vote to Keep. HawkAussie (talk) 05:30, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — GM's decision to end the Holden brand has significant implications for the championship. One Holden team has already announced that they will not enter Holdens in 2021 and the sport's management has indicated their willingness to bring forward major regulation changes in response to this.

  • Comment, I reckon with WAU no longer driving Commodores in 2021, it may start up a flow on effect, with other teams potentially switching manufacturers. This has also seen Gen3 being push forward to 2021, as what Sean Seamer, Supercars CEO, has said. But that being said, it's possible for Opel to return to Australia, meaning that some Commodores may be simply re-badged as Opels. I don't think it's WP:TOOSOON, but more of a watch and wait sort of thing. Because who knows who will jump from Holden next? Hiflex480 (talk) 03:46, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yet another non-notable Philippines radio station stub. This was accepted by Robert McClenon from AFC but I'm afraid I see no indication that this passes WP:GNG or WP:BROADCAST. The two sources provided are both primary sources that simply list the station in a directory, but confer no notability whatsoever. I see no obvious candidate for a redirect.

The result was no consensus. There is no clear consensus one way or the other regarding the notability of this company, and therefore no consensus to delete the article. However, just because the article won't be deleted doesn't mean that there aren't paths available to challenge and remove content from the article that cannot be backed up by reliable sources. ‑Scottywong| [talk] || 00:38, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A possible un-notable company with only local sources and blog articles as support of WP:GNG, with factual accuracy which is disputed.
(I myself does not have an opinion, only relaying from OTRS ticket:2020021010006728.) Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Companies-related deletion discussions. Jonatan Svensson Glad (talk) 21:16, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There is no explanation of what factual accuracy is disputed. There are seven independent references and there are more out there. Rathfelder (talk) 21:19, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I can't see the OTRS ticket, so I'm not sure what the complaint is about, but if I were Dr. Keen, or in any way affiliated with NowMedical, I'd like to have it removed. It's not exactly flattering. The sources aren't great, but I don't think they're libelous or defamatory, which would be a reason to (immediately) delete it. Looking at the sources; bracknellnews.co.uk has A "Send us your news" feature, https://www.bracknellnews.co.uk/send-us-your-news/ BUT claims to adhere to the Independent Press Standards Organisation's Editors' Code of Practice. Their article was written by Ollie Sirrell, who works for newsquest.co.uk, which says about itself "We employ experienced marketing consultants throughout the UK that help local businesses promote their products and services to local audiences." If the subject was another cryptocurrency company, I'd be pretty quick to dismiss that as an unreliable source. OpenDemocracy's article was written by Clare Sambrook, a novelist & investigative journalist. The article for thebureauinvestigaes was written by Maeve McClenaghan, who appears to be a reliable investigative journalist. The Islington Gazette looks like an independent, relibale source to me. The author, Lucas Cumiskey has an email address at archant.co.uk, which is dodgy; "we help businesses enter and succeed in their chosen markets through marketing services". Again, if this was an article about some startup, I would not trust that source. nicholasnicol.uk is clearly a blog. So is nearlylegal.co.uk. The Hackney Citizen's article was written by Ed Sheridan who is bylinead as the Local Democracy Reporter for the Islington citizen and the Camden citizen as well. I'm not super-impressed by the sources, but I see no reason to dismiss them as factually inaccurate. The article in the independent is clearly significant coverage in an independent, reliable source. Vexations (talk) 02:46, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sources are not wonderful, but there is no obvious conflict of interest, and the real source of most of them is The Bureau of Investigative Journalism which is reasonably respectable, but the local papers are following up the implications of their story. But I've now found a much fuller report in the Independent. Rathfelder (talk) 15:11, 11 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment/Request As I can see the OTRS ticket I'm going to ask that this be relisted. The letter to OTRS provides specific claims as to why available sources do not establish notability which are loosely of the kind of analysis which is typical at an AfD discussion. This analysis cannot be posted here without permission so I am going to ask for that permission. If granted it would allow a chance for uninvolved editors to discuss whether they do or don't meet our qualifications. If not granted then consensus above hasn't really changed. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:16, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: I too have reviewed the OTRS ticket, and see decent cause to relist at this time. I would like to see extra involvement from people not directly involved in writing the article, and also think this will allow time for a response permitting some details from the ticket to be shared here. I do suggest future participants of this discussion comment on the notability of this company, and whether the current angle of the article is adhering enough to WP:DUE (especially with consideration that living people are discussed in the article).

  • The following was sent in by the lawyers representing NowMedical. It arrived on February 28th but was only routed to me a short time ago.

Notability
NowMedical is a small, private business with six employees. It provides non-binding medical opinions to assist local authorities and the UKBA in making decisions on social housing and an individual's ability to leave the UK respectively. Pursuant to Wikipedia’s Policy, NowMedical is “a very small”, “local” company and is not sufficiently notable to warrant its own page.

Inaccuracies/Defamatorv Allegations
No “fit to fly” language is used in NowMedical reports. These are directed only at the statutory test ofwhether an individual is “unable to leave the UK”.

NowMedical’s doctors are not required, by law or their regulators, to physically examine a patient to provide the opinions sought. NowMedical does not diagnose, or challenge diagnoses of, patients. It provides opinions based on medical records provided, as to whether that patient’s medical condition meets the relevant statutory test. A physical examination would add nothing to this opinion. This approach is corroborated by the English courts and General Medical Council.

NowMedical advised Haringey council that the child was in “medical need” and moving to ground floor accommodation was optimal. As such accommodation in London is scarce, NowMedical suggested that a different first floor flat may be a suitable alternative and enable a quicker move.

Sources
The Islington Tribune, Hackney Citizen, Islington Gazette and Bracknell News are “media of limited interest and circulation” and should not be relied on when assessing notability.

The Independent, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism and Open Democracy articles each contain defamatory allegations and substantial inaccuracies. All are the subject of legal complaints. They do not satisfy Wikipedia’s reliability criterion.

Nearly Legal is a self-published blog written by a housing law firm partner. As a practitioner in housing law he holds a vested interest in discrediting NowMedical and stands to financially benefit from legal challenges to local authority decisions. He is not an independent contributor.

Nicolas Nicol’s blog is self-published. He is not “unrelated with no vested interest in the company”. As a barrister, he acts against local authorities who have made

decisions involving NowMedical opinions and is incentivised to contribute to the misleading narratives in the local media.

I post this without comment or opinion merely for consideration by other editors as part of this discussion. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:20, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • This does not show that the company is not notable, rather the reverse. These issues should be addressed in the article. Rathfelder (talk) 14:45, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete On the contrary, the OTRS ticket does not substantiate that there is any notable controversy. It does substantiate that there is a possible serious BLP issue and which should not be ignored. The only source that substantiates that this issue has created significant coverage in RS is the Independent, which fails to substantiate that there is any wrongdoing involved. Other sources are local smalltime press and a lobbying group. The article as written paints the BLP subject's actions in a negative light and that requires better coverage than currently exists. If the controversy later generates further significant coverage in RS than it can be re-created but BLP requires removal of most of the information. The amount of BLP-compliant information remaining is not worth having an article for and does not comply with GNG. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 20:47, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • This article is about a company, not a person. The question is not how good the article is. The question is whether the company has coverage. Coverage in local press is relevant because the coverage is of contracts the company has with individual local councils. Rathfelder (talk) 00:02, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Rathfelder:: WP:BLP ...applies to all material about living persons anywhere on Wikipedia including articles about organizations. "The article is about a company" is not a loophole for BLP-violating information or attack pages. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 00:22, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
BLP applies everywhere. However, because this is about a company and not a person, can there be a policy compliant version of this company? If so its notability - or not - should stand on its own. If the company can only be covered in ways which would violate our BLP policy then that should impact whether or not we have an article at all. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 00:40, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Barkeep49:, I have difficulty believing that a compliant version is possible. The only source of notability is the accusations sourced almost entirely to non-RS. The company is very closely related to the doctor and, even assuming all the coverage is correct, seems to be mostly a practice name rather than an organization with a significant staff. This makes separating the company's actions from the person's actions fuzzy at best. Thanks for posting the OTRS complaint for examination. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 03:28, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
There are two mentions of Dr Keen. First that he started the company and second that he sent a report without seeing a patient. Neither appear to be disputed. This is not “a very small”, “local” company. It provides services to a very large number of local authorities. The contracts with those councils are discussed in their local papers, as you would expect. Some of the critical coverage is based on court judgements. Also discussed in local papers. One council defends the company and that is included in the article. The lawyers do not appear to be disputing any of the contents, merely saying that the criticism is unfair. It may be, but that doesnt make it libellous. Rathfelder (talk) 07:56, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The Independent, at least, is a reliable source providing substantial coverage. That NowMedical disagrees with its reporting does not make it less reliable. Also, contra Eggishorn, whether the allegation made in The Independent or elsewhere have merit or not has nothing to do with whether the paper is reliable or the company is notable. Coverage for false allegations is still coverage. Together with the other sources, I think the notability bar is passed here. Sandstein 09:57, 6 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Moni Tonga’uiha (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
In my WP:BEFORE, I found nothing that indicates this player meets WP:GNG despite playing two seasons in Major League Rugby. This includes searches under Moni Tonga’uiha, Moni Tongauiha, and Tesimoni Tongauiha (which is the only name he gets any G-News hits and arguably should be the WP:COMMONNAME based off the player profile on the team page and that it gets the most hits on searches). What does show up is a few of WP:ROUTINE game reports, typical transaction WP:NOTNEWS announcements, and nothing of significant depth that isn't WP:PRIMARY.

It has been argued in the past that because Major League Rugby is possibly "fully professional" that it meets WP:NRU, but that has recently been contested at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Rugby union#Major League Rugby and Wikipedia talk:Notability (sports)#Major League Rugby in that many of the less-than-superstar players get very minimal coverage (such as Tesimoni Tongauiha, in my analysis).

  • Keep, but with a recommendation that this article needs significant improvement. Although the article appears to have a number of sources, most of them appear to have just been copied from the sources for article about Bharatiya Janata Party, the party's national organization, and don't specifically relate to this state unit. That said, however, the BJP is the largest political party in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and thus leads the state government, in a state with more than 60 million people. A state party like that pretty much has to be notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:18, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

India is not biparty system like US, so the comparison is not apple to apple. In any case the problem is lack of sources covering it independently in great detail. It can be kept if there are sources meeting WP:ORGCRIT --DBigXray 14:53, 21 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It seems the Karnataka BJP did not pass WP:BRANCH as it seems it enlights coverage of contesting election of BJP in Karnataka, their . Some are BJPs activities for Karnataka. The third one migh cover some good work for the BJP article. But I think not enough for WP:BRANCH. The fourth one is very good work for Karnataka CM BSY not for Karnataka BJP. Some are sworning someone as serving as president, vice president etc. (I don't want to make it very long like previous discussion of Mr. X. I hope Soman and DBigXray will understand I am talking about which AfD.) In short words Karnataka BJP gets coverage for being the state unit of BJP. The coverages, scholar works are not enough for passing WP:BRANCH.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 04:23, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Soman In India, we can see losing MP even MLA candidates got a huge number of votes which amount are enough for becoming the president like Iceland, Maldives, Palau and so on. But their (losing candidate) articles were not kept for getting huge amount of votes. The subject (Karnataka BJP) gets some coverage for being a state wing of BJP. These are not enough for passing WP:BRANCH.S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 15:02, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • We should not compare those with India. Their political system is Two-party system. India's political system is not like that. In Punjab a Congress candidate can hope for his/her win. But, now-a-days in West Bengal, a Congress candidate usually thinks about his/her vote percentage so that he/she can save his/her security deposit. Same to BJP. In Uttar Pradesh BJP candidiate can hope for his win but in Tamil Nadu a BJP candidate usually thinks about his/her vote percentage so that he/she can save his/her security deposit. As per WP:BRANCH the sources presented here are not enough for passing WP:BRANCH (the reason I have mentioned earlier).S. M. Nazmus Shakib (talk) 16:21, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • S. M., I understand you are saying that in India, a political party can be very prominent at the nationwide level while being a minor or insignificant party in certain states. I believe that. However, I don't know what that has to do with BJP in Karnataka. The BJP is the largest party in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. If you want to say that we should not have an article about Bharatiya Janata Party, Tamil Nadu because the BJP has no seats in the legislative assembly there, I can understand that. But for Karnataka, I don't understand that. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:07, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, If I looked I could probably find 2 or 3 comparable sources that talk about myself, and there is absolutely no way that I am notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Darthkayak (talk) 05:40, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
With the addition of the new sources in the past few weeks I now agree he's notable enough to pass GNG. Yngvadottir has made the article quite good, and avoided a potential pitfall: I think too much focus on the non-renewal thing would have been undue, but the majority of the non-award sources are solely about that. The subject's BLP deletion request is giving me pause now. He might be trying to keep a low-profile, and that's why I haven't changed my comment to Keep. I don't know how to feel and am pretty new to AFD discussion, so I've struck-out my above comment. As this guy isn't a well-known public figure of general interest like Anderson Cooper, I think we should be judicious, but would completely support keeping the article if consensus goes that way.

  • Keep based on the RS and the awards (Emmy Awards, LA Press Club awards, and positions with top American news agencies). WP:ANYBIO at the least.

  • Keep per Streisand effect. If he were a child actor, or crime victim, i would urge us to delete this article, but he's a grown man. Bearian (talk) 10:59, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Bearian, genuinely curious, how does Streisand make this a keep? Primefac (talk) 12:15, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    Allegedly, the subject has brought attention to himself by editing his own article, with the implication that he thinks he himself is notable. Now that his edits have been reverted, he wants to remove his article and argue that he is not notable. Wikipedia does not work that way: once notable, a person is always notable. Barbra Streisand wanted photos of her seaside house to be private, but in complaining about it, she created publicity for the same. In cases of children, such as actors and crime victims, we tend to err on the side of deleting the article out of concern for children's privacy rights. In only one instance in the past 13 years has an adult subject successfully appealed to JimboWales that he was not notable, after seeking media attention to make himself a public figure because he wanted to stroke his own ego. That resulted in two nasty AfDs in the span of as many weeks, resulting in a terrible exception that powerful school superintendents are not notable. (In the cases of widespread bullying and pandemics, they literally have the power of life and death over children.) Other than the one case, the consensus of the Wikipedian community has been to include an adult if they are in fact notable, only redacting personal information such as date of birth and links personal web pages. In one case, a female professor was being stalked and harassed online, and we still kept her article; in another case, we kept an article for an MSNBC legal commentator unprotected after he in person and in public begged me to fix the vandalism. I can link those cases if you insist, but that would bring them undue attention again. Deleting this article would create a terrible precedent, allowing people to game the system. It would also require us to revisit past precedents, and I will demand that many more Wikipedians voice their opinion. Precedents at WP:OUTCOMES are important so that our readers, and ultimately the taxpayers who subsidize us, know what are general rules for inclusion might be. Precedents create predictability. Bearian (talk) 17:24, 16 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I do know what the Streisand effect is... I was asking why it was relevant in this case. Regardless of whether the article's subject has been editing the page, or whether they are interested in having it deleted, there has been no public outcry from Schwada to have the page deleted, and your analogy is moot. If a subject is not notable, they are not notable, which is why we're at AFD and not just deleting it because he complained. Primefac (talk)
    I just stated one reason, and I try not to merely pile on by repeating what others say, but if you insist... A second reason to keep is exactly what Lightburst wrote: He passes based on GNG, ANYBODY, RS, and for the significant coverage about the person. Journalists and talking heads are not automatically notable, but the drama about his leaving Fox was reported on widely and over a period of time longer than a single news cycle. For example, in 2008 his career was already notable. When he was let go in 2011, it made national news. In 2015 and 2016, he made the news as a spokesperson for political groups. In late 2016 he inserted himself into controversy again (pardon the pun) as spokesperson for Prop 60 and in 2018 as a lobbyist. In searches online, I found over 600 news articles where he's mentioned prominently some are passing mentions, but many are mostly about him. The claims that he's a private person reminds me of the inveterate socialite protesting vainly that all she does is charity work and somehow suffers through party after party.

  • Keep: She started a graphic design/advertising agency five years ago, and from the current sources, appears to be getting attention in her field. The nominator says that she advertises brands on "her social media", which I think is a misreading. Planning social media campaigns for major brands is not the same thing as posting pictures on your own social media account; it's an actual job. -- Toughpigs (talk) 04:08, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete have any of the Keep vote!s actually read the refs. There is a self indulgent fawning piece from the Hong Kong Tatler which is actually just a perfume advert, another fawning interview from Prestige, another society piece from Elle Hong Kong, a puff piece from generationT, I couldn't find the relevant source in Press Reader but my guess is it isn't a serious piece of commentary. The yahoo ref simply links back to the Elle puff piece and another is a micro biog care of the Hong Kong Tatler (again). Then we have just giving. Why do rich young entrepreneurs think that by giving away some money will make them notable, it doesn't. This is all a marketing puff piece for a rich young woman who may well shine in the social lime-light of Hong Kong but whose notability credentials stack up to nothing here.  Velella  Velella Talk   04:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment At this moment nothing has changed since the first AfD discussion. Neither WP:NSKATE or WP:GNG is met. However, she is competing at the Junior World Championships that start on March 2 and it's possible she might meet WP:NSKATE criteria number 2 with a good enough performance. I would suggest this discussion be put on hold until after the results of this competition are known. If she qualifies for the free skate she would be WP notable, otherwise she still seems to fail any WP notability criteria. Papaursa (talk) 05:35, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The relevant part of WP:NSCHOOL says ...middle schools, primary (elementary) schools, and schools that only provide a support to mainstream education must satisfy either this guideline (WP:ORG) or the general notability guideline, or both. Since this is left to interpretation, I would argue that the Courier reference satisfies WP:GNG (namely having significant, reliable and independent coverage), since discussion there about the Shannon Park Annex /Vancouver Hebrew School is more than trivial but less than the main focus. Since NSCHOOL leaves its requirements up to interpretation, my take on it is that we needn't require the full-blown WP:ORG requirements, which were written (it seems to me) to enforce WP:COI and WP:PROMOTIONAL tone in organizations, because there is no semblance of any of that in the article itself nor in the references, it being only a bare bones school article/stub. This also removes the thorny issue of where to redirect. StonyBrook (talk) 00:41, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming you are correct that it is a "Permastub", what is your point? The essay doesn't have an issue with them unless they are "problematic", but what is problematic or unsatisfying about a currently operating day school? I don't see the justification for a merge with Vancouver School Board either since the two entities do not seem to share any affiliation, except for the leasing agreement for the annex space. StonyBrook (talk) 05:19, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would revert any mention of a private school from a school district article on sight. There is 0 relationship between the two entities. School districts sell or lease out of use facilities to private school operators all the time (what else do you do with a used school). Target for redirect is completely unacceptable.

To quote from wp:PROMO: Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. ....Therefore, content hosted in Wikipedia is not for:

Advocacy, propaganda, or recruitment of any kind: commercial, political, scientific, religious, national, sports-related, or otherwise. Which this is not; it appears to report objectively that a proposal for a state exists, which is true.
Opinion pieces. Which this is not: The article does not argue for a Wikipedia position about the merit of the proposal.
Scandal mongering, promoting things "heard through the grapevine" or gossiping. Which this is not at all.
Self-promotion. Which this is not at all. There exists no suggestion anywhere, except perhaps by implication of this bogus AFD, that author Pangan or anyone else is trying to promote anything commercial or otherwise by use of Wikipedia.
There is no merit to the revised AFD nomination, and again I think this AFD should be speedily closed as an administrative matter. It is wasting my/your time. It is not okay to use AFD to support a fishing expedition for repeated tries to come up with a valid argument. It is not okay to blast out random accusations. Note I also removed all of the negative tagging that was added by the deletion nominator to the article, which was a) excessive and b) included "hoax" allegation. I don't care to sift through b.s. to try to find some merit in any part of it. --Doncram (talk) 07:36, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, but in ratio 60-45 (60 delete/40 keep): I'm not against the deletion nor keep, but for me proposed states like this are WP:TOOSOON. Also I noticed that it seems to place emphasis on the state's proposed flag and/or constitution. I think it's better to have a list of proposed states and place each on that list. But more compact. In short, there's a form of WP:COI. But I second the motion of the POV of @Fram: and @Superastig:. The original wording of the nominator is not important, but rather the essence of the deletion.JWilz12345 (talk) 09:51, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I rather question grilling the proponent on the technicality of the justification which in my opinion is a form of harassment. It is rather best to politely guide people especially new editors time to provide a clearer reason. I would vote for Deletion as the article should be incorporated to an article about Pangan's book (which do not exist, the "cebuano state" article cant stand on its own as "the Pangan book" so it cannot be moved to a new name). This article relied heavily on the Pangan book and the "secondary source" did not support it and only described some component like what is a Philippine Constitution, etc. To weigh in to the truthfulness of the article, there is NO legal process ongoing that explicitly proposing a Cebuano Visayan State and it is a work of fiction written to be like a notable event about a "people's initiative'. The only recognized process are the Philippine Executive Order 10 that forms the consultative commission and the PDP-Laban Federalism Institute. --Exec8 (talk) 14:10, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
As I have said, I think it would have been better to speedily close the AFD, which would have left way for the editor or someone else to come up with a better AFD proposal in the future. But okay I guess the nominator is simply not going to withdraw their AFD proposal, and there have been some others' comments/!votes, so I acknowledge this AFD is going on.
There exists Federalism in the Philippines partly about merging powers to the center. It's sort of unclear, at least from States of the Philippines about how many states there currently are, but the Federalization would create " 18 federal states and two autonomous regions in the Philippines – the Bangsamoro region of the south and the Federated Region of the Cordilleras of the north" per this from Asean briefing.
A country of our own: partitioning the Philippines by David C. Martinez is another academic work to consider.
I assume there have been other proposals for redistributions of power, for mergers/partitions of states, etc.
Covering this Cebuano Visayan proposal can be done in a bigger list of all such proposals, meeting our requirement per wp:ATD to consider alternatives to deletion, and in general developing Wikipedia rather than hacking away at it coarsely. Or if that is not going to be done promptly by anyone, then "Keep" is appropriate for this AFD, IMO. --Doncram (talk) 01:33, 25 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ATD doesn't trump WP:UNDUE, and a proposal which has received no attention is not a candidate to be included in any list or other enwiki article. Fram (talk) 08:48, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The result was delete. After five years in existence and a full cumulative month at AfD, the article has not been meaningfully expanded or improved, nor have any appropriate sources been identified or added. The Sin Chew story identified here only devotes one short paragraph to the subject: two sentences describing the structure (not the gallery, mind), and one lamenting the limited hours of operation. Lest this bare-bones page sit stagnant for years more with no attempts being made to establish notability, I feel deletion is the only appropriate result. – Juliancolton | Talk 23:24, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
