We do usually allow articles about mayors of cities the size of Butuan — but those articles have to be properly sourced, which this isn't, and they have to be much better written than this fairly blatant campaign brochure. Delete, without prejudice against future recreation if somebody can write a good version. Bearcat (talk) 22:09, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. Normally, this would pass WP:POLOUTCOMES, as he is a mayor of a city of 300,000, which is also a regional market center. However, the article needs more work than ordinary editing would suffice. My knowledge of Philippines politics is limited to what my partner tells me, or I read online, so I would not be the best candidate to rescue this one. Bearian (talk) 22:36, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to List of mayors and vice mayors of Butuan. This confirms that he is mayor; nothing else in the article is sufficiently verified to remain here, even if it is considered that he passes WP:POLITICIAN. The article reads like a political pamphlet and smells like a copyvio, though I couldn't find anything online. --MelanieN (talk) 15:10, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect for now to List of mayors and vice mayors of Butuan, without prejudice against an independent article in the future with sources. While normally, mayors of cities the size of Butuan are considered notable, there isn't enough sources about him. Note that generally, coverage on non-Manila or non-Cebu Philippine politics is rather limited, especially online, though language is not a problem since most Philippine online media is in English.
