No vote, but this person is a member of the Cavite Provincial Board, a province-level legislature. WP:POLITICIAN states "Politicians... who have held... sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members or former members of a... provincial legislature." are likely to be notable. Sole reference isn't exactly the best. –H T D 20:53, 28 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the claim to be a member of the provincial board is mistaken, there was a candidate named Jedidah del Rosario in the 2nd District, see Cavite local elections, 2013. At that time Raymundo ran for re-election as mayor, and lost. Anyway, Tanza is in the 6th District. Fails WP:NPOL, the ref in the article is a dead link, web searches don't turn up anything good enough to pass WP:GNG Kraxler (talk) 19:28, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just because he wasn't a candidate for the provincial board in the most recent election doesn't necessarily prove in and of itself that he never previously served on that board. This obviously isn't a reliable source, so we can't cite it here — but it claims that a Raymundo del Rosario was on the board from 2007-2010 at least. There is the possibility that it's just wrong because WP:USERG, or that the one who served on the board is actually a different person of the same name, so we still need a better source to confirm whether he was really on the board — but the fact that he wasn't a candidate for the board in 2013 doesn't prove that he was never on it.

Would a redirect to Tanza, Cavite be an alternative option? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 13:43, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that people should be redirected to cities. It would be interesting to know whether it has been done before. Kraxler (talk) 16:46, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Kraxler: I remember an older AfD discussion on a town mayor where the result was to redirect it to the town's list of mayors article. However, this town doesn't seem to have one, so I thought that redirecting to his municipality would have been an acceptable compromise. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:12, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A list of mayors is an appropriate redirect target because it would mention the name in context, different from just redirecting a name to a city without expressed connection. Kraxler (talk) 14:21, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and Kraxler, who pretty much hit the nail on the head. Not notable enough for their own article, and nowhere to appropriately redirect to. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:52, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
