This article has existed in articlespace since 2012. In 2023, the problems with its unreferenced content, adverted to multiple times, have remained. In my opinion, once that content were stripped away, we would find that this article is verifiably about a veterinarian from The Philippines who is active in philanthropic work, particularly as a Rotarian. What we would not find is that a Wikipedia article that meets any number of tests for notability, starting with the General notability guideline and including but not limited to WP:NBIO. Given the article's 11 year existence on en.wp, it would appear to me that this article should be tested at a deletion discussion. That said, I would have no objection to a WP:G11 outcome. As always, more than happy to be proven wrong. Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 10:02, 22 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article popped up in my suggested edits. I had a squizz, and it immediately became apparent that it exists at the behest of someone with a vested interest and non-npov. If it wasn't for the overt flowery praise I might not have bothered with the G11 tag, but regardless, as it is I don't really see how it is encyclopedic or noteworthy.

  • Redirect to Kabang. It seems that most News mentions about him points to the dog whom he took care of. I've also added a cited mention about his caretaker role in the target article. --Lenticel (talk) 11:28, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete to removed unsourced BLP vios, then Redirect to Kabang per above. Looks G11, BLP, fails GNG and BIO. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  06:13, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm okay with a delete first and then redirect --Lenticel (talk) 08:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
