- I don't know what to call this, but I think it falls under vanity. Linuxbeak 20:44, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Even if it is not vanity, it is not an enciclopedic article... José San Martin 21:03, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and stubify. The author appears to have no writing skill and only a theoretical understanding of the English language. But it's the notability of the subject that's at issue -- and Google seems to indicate that Makil was a fairly well-known Filipino singer and actor. ---Isaac R
- Comment about Isaac R's vote; Google pulls up Makil as a late music professor and musician. There was only one page that I saw that was relevant enough to be considered, and that was the UP's obituary of him (http://www.up.edu.ph/makil.htm). I'm not saying he wasn't a great musician, but so is my band director and my euphonium teacher. Linuxbeak 00:13, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, POV, notability not established, no allmusic.com entry, no imdb.com entry, no publications, Wikipedia is not a memorial, see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Megan1967 02:04, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Comment about Megan1967's comment: I just noticed that. He DID vandalise the 1950s article. This should most assuredly be taken into consideration.
- Delete, a combination of non-notability/vanity (~50 Google hits) and other-page(s) vandalism make this a ripe picking. Now it could be two completely different people happened to share that very IP, but what are the odds? Master Thief Garrett 07:37, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)
