- Keep but move to its apparent official name Magugpo East. We have reliable proof this district exists, by the inclusion of a Philippines governemnt webpage which says it was legally created by ordinance in 1993. Articles about legally recognised, populated places are generally allowed to remain (according to WP:NGEO). However, there's no proof it's known as Briz and the article will still need proper sourcing to make it suitable. Sionk (talk) 13:02, 26 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect this and Magugpo East to Tagum City. To my recollection, the consensus is that barangays aren't inherently notable unless they receive enough reliable coverage, so what is usually done is to redirect them to their municipality or city.

- Keep—but move to Magugpo East (assuming they are, in fact, the same thing). WP:NGEO says that "Populated, legally-recognized places are, by a very large consensus, considered notable", and this barangay was created by a legal ordinance. Granted that a barangy is the smallest recognizable district, we do have articles on US towns, which, as I understand it, are about the same thing.

- Comment - While barangays are indeed the smallest political unit in the Philippine LGC, to my knowledge, barangays are considered by the WikiProject to only be notable if they have been the subject of reliable sources (which is why we have articles for the districts of Manila, such as Sampaloc, Manila, rather than any of Manila's barangays. Note that Manila alone has 700+ barangays, while most cities can have up to 40+). Also, barangays are not equivalent to towns, as a barangay is a subdivision of a municipality or a city, which correspond to cities and town in the United States. WP:NGEO is a good point, however; I'll check the Tambayan Philippines archives if there has been established consensus on the notability of barangays.

- Comment - I'll admit to knowing basically nothing about Philippine geographical organizational units, I'm just going off of NGEO and trying to apply it to the situation, and I fully understand the application might need some "tweaking" to get right. Please do check with any relevant projects and let me/us know if there's a consensus or any guidance on this. Your effort is appreciated! Livit⇑Eh?/What? 15:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
