Was tagged as a blp prod but the creator deleted it, unsourced person who looks unotable. Wgolf ( talk) 21:22, 28 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment - BLPPROD is not something that can simply be removed without providing a reliable source. I have re-added it. If we had reliable sources I might reconsider, but right now I see no indication that Boobay meets the notability criteria. Huon ( talk) 23:38, 28 September 2014 (UTC) reply
Comment. HighBeam yields a reliable source, a substantive profile in the Manila Bulletin [1], which I have added to the article. Finding more will probably require digging through sources that are partly or wholly in Tagalog. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 00:31, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply
Huon-yes I know-but since the creator kept on removing it, that had to be done. Wgolf ( talk) 01:10, 29 September 2014 (UTC) reply

Comment - the creator was just blocked as a sock of blocked User:Ivan Clarin. It might be possible to write an article on Boobay per the source found by Arxiloxos (and additional sources in Tagalog, if they can be found), but I don't think we'd lose much if we deleted this until someone is interested in doing the necessary work.

Keep - Please add more reliable source, as one source is written fully on him. Might be Notable. - Vatsan34 ( talk) 17:46, 13 October 2014 (UTC) reply

Delete the only sourced statement is a small WP:TRIVIAL notice. If we deleted all unsourced material as we ought for WP:BLP's, there's no there there, and fails WP:GNG. Carlossuarez46 ( talk) 18:08, 14 October 2014 (UTC) reply

I disagree with the characterization of that source as "trivial"; it's a reasonably substantial article about the subject's background and career. The problem is that I couldn't find anything else so substantial in English, and my meager abilities in Filipino are not equal to the task of sifting through the dozens of news sources that mention him. He's a co-host of a national TV program in a country of 100 million, so additional sources might well exist if someone is able—and cares—to look. -- Arxiloxos ( talk) 18:17, 14 October 2014 (UTC) reply

delete without prejudice to a proper article being written. DGG ( talk ) 18:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC) reply
