Fails WP:NBIO/WP:NJOURNALIST, might be WP:TOOSOON for an article. No widespread coverage; there appears to be two ([1] [2]) independent and reliable sources that talk about Rojas directly, but the rest are written by those working in the same news agency as Rojas, so I don't count those as "independent".

Found a third source: [3], but doesn't go into detail about Rojas himself. Chlod (say hi!) 07:38, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete – fails notability guidelines. Only two sources fairly passes GNG. Toadette ^{(Merry Christmas, and a happy new year)} 10:53, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. As the nominator notes, we have examples of significant coverage from this individual from multiple independent reliable sources—namely the first two articles noted. This is admittedly a borderline case, but I do think that two is multiple. There is also coverage of him from ABS-CBN's newsroom, and that can be used to fill in some more basic biographical details, but given that ABS-CBN is his employer I don't think it ought contribute towards notability. I do wonder if there's coverage in Tagalog that I can't find; I ran into this source, but that doesn't appear to be SIGCOV, and I can't really search in that language well because of my lack of Tagalog knowledge. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 03:56, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Yeah, the Bandera article isn't SIGCOV, and mostly focuses on controversy related to Kim Atienza instead. Rojas is mentioned here because he replaced Atienza as ABS-CBN's weatherman when Atienza left the agency. As for Filipino sources, I was unable to find any except the Bandera one. Again, some sources from ABS-CBN (but mostly describing his job rather than himself), but they're all either written by Rojas or his co-workers. Chlod (say hi!) 02:16, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails WP:BIO per nom. Nothing much found in my WP:BEFORE aside from the Bandera article presented by Red-tailed Hawk. SBKSPP (talk) 23:55, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
