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.

Hilabaan Island

Doubtful notability and misleading label. The article talks about a barangay rather than an island and content here, most of it atrociously-written and unbecoming for the competency standards of Wikipedoa, was made by SPAs with probable undisclosed COIs Borgenland (talk) 16:16, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

List of ABS-CBN specials aired

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

Per WP:INDISCRIMINATE and WP:NOTEVERYTHING. This is one of many programming lists for ABS-CBN and serves no purpose other than to promote the station by showing the type of content it has previously aired. There is nothing that talks about the list as a whole so also fails WP:NLIST. None of these seem to be original programming either so it is basically a failure of WP:NOTTVGUIDE.

Delete Outside one YouTube 'source' of an ABS-CBN network promo (which no longer exists because the account was taken out for copyright abuse), the rest of the sources are all from ABS-CBN and violate PRIMARY, leaving this as a completely unsourced article. Much of the content is already part of List of programs broadcast by ABS-CBN or the main ABS-CBN article describing program rights already, some of the lists include made-up genres or judgements about programming appropriateness without any sources, or list 'specials' that are just part of regular series. There's also a lot of links to generic things (especially about election coverage which just link to each election's article with nothing about television coverage; it would only be surprising if they didn't cover an election as a national network). But beyond that, there is a large amount of article content from other deleted ABS-CBN list articles that were merged into this to preserve the content despite clear article deletion decisions with no allowance for merging in those AfDs. Though I understand the entire ABS-CBN license situation and that programming is disbursed among them, it's also never a good sign when we get footnotes for programming on other networks which are certainly not ABS-CBN, as that should be explained in the program article, not here.

Fails WP:NSINGER; virtually none of the WP:RS references pass WP:GNG, while some that do are not WP:RS (see WP:LIONHEARTV), or is ABS-CBN, which owns the label Star Records which signed the singer, making it WP:PRIMARY. Maybe WP:TOOSOON. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:31, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinoy Auto Trader

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

Shortlived company that lasted just 15 months; article supported by lots of churnalism and recycled press releases in sector media, but I don’t think this passes WP:NORG. Mccapra (talk) 13:39, 6 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Saan Darating ang Umaga (song)

Not passed in WP:NSONG. ROY is WAR Talk! 00:24, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Can you explain why it doesn't pass NSONG, and what WP:BEFORE was conducted before nominating? Article definitely needs work, but being covered by (at least) four other notable artists counts towards WP:NSONG #3. I note that it's also been used as the theme song of both a 1983 film, and three different TV shows, so the question should be whether enough SIGCOV exists to establish notability. I'm not familiar with Filipino sources (so will withhold my !vote), but I'd be surprised if there was nothing. Nil🥝 00:47, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It was barely mentioned, and I only found it upon checking sources such as Ref10, and Ref5. In Ref10, Raymond talks about the song, but it's only a small piece of information and insufficient per WP:SIGCOV. Beyond that, the song was simply covered by other notable artists. I don't know if this is applied on WP:NCOVER. A redirect to Darating ang Umaga (transl. Till Morning Comes) I am neutral for that. ROY is WAR Talk! 01:50, 3 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - nomination does not specify the problem. What's wrong with the references? Have you tried mergers? Have you tried looking for other sources? In the alternative, at least a redirect should be considered. Bearian (talk) 15:05, 7 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
