The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. Technically this is a delete of the article. Lenticel's Dab page, however, is useful so should be kept, which makes closing this AfD slightly awkward. I am closing as delete the article as stands, and will restore as a dab. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:59, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A dicdef certainly, but not even authoritative ("could be the source ..."). Emeraude (talk) 10:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment (because I'm not deeply familiar with the subject) - I do know that the word exists in the Tagalog language, but I'm not aware of any other information about the word that could be used in a Wikipedia article. Analogous terms in the English language (although not precise) are "sir" or "lord", but other than that I'm not aware about the nature of the word itself (e.g. is it a hereditary title like those of British titles of nobility? etc.) Perhaps, if some editors can bring up at least published (i.e. books) information about "Magat", then I might be inclined to vote "Keep". But not for now as I really don't know much about this word's background. --- Tito Pao (talk) 00:47, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Converted to dab Can't find sources at Google Books and Google Scholar so I made a dab instead.--Lenticel ^(talk) 02:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
