• Comment @Vedbas: did you do a WP:BEFORE on this person? When I did a search I saw decent sourcing. Also, "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance" is a speedy deletion criteria and not an AfD criteria. All that matters here is notability and the presence of good sources. It's also not true: the current article says she has 4M Youtube subscribers, which is an indication of success/fame/significance etc. --- Possibly (talk) 04:16, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that is for speedy deletion. This is not a speedy deletion.--- Possibly (talk) 04:25, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  This article was previously deleted due to the same problem Chief Minister (Talk) 04:27, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are using the wrong process. AfD is a week-long process; what you should have used was speedy deletion. Even so, I think she is notable and Speedy would have failed. Please stop nominating articles for AfD. I will leave a message on your talk page about this. --- Possibly (talk) 04:31, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And the article, in almost the same form, was speedy deleted. It fails to make clear how she is significant or important. Given that Possibly indicates that it's fixable, I'll hold off on deleting it a second time. —C.Fred (talk) 15:04, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: I'm hoping someone who reads Filipino will come along and look at it. I'm not able to assess the Filipino language sources on my own, but items like Cosmo in English look moderately promising. She also has 5 million subscribers on Youtube, and more than 500 million views. That indicates popularity, and I would assume there is more coverage in foreign sources.--- Possibly (talk) 01:29, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A great majority (95%) WP:RS about Philippine topics are in English. If you can't find anything of value, that's pretty much you can find for that subject. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:53, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete not notable and poorly sourced. —hueman1 (talk • contributions) 03:29, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The person in question is not notable even if she has millions of subscribers. Also, the sources are not reliable enough. LSGH (talk) (contributions) 10:19, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I think the sources pointed out by @Possibly: are reliable, such as Philippine Entertainment Portal and Malaya (newspaper) PhotographyEdits (talk) 15:51, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: The article needs some clean up. Other that that, the sources indicated by Possibly seem reliable. A PEP article indicated fully talks about her life and career. The rest of the sources talk about her activities. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:BIO. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 16:00, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Meets WP:BIO with sources presented by Possibly. They're reliable enough IMV. SBKSPP (talk) 01:02, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Needs more to establish notability - Nabla (talk) 14:13, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
