Notability in question. Strongest claim to fame was a non-notable book which was earlier deleted here Twelve hits on Philippine Google search, some of which are his own columns and Wiki mirrors. Google Scholar search doesn't yield good results either. Lenticel ^(talk) 08:45, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. There's only one citation on the entire page, and it seems mostly fancruft. If it was built upon, it might be a more appropriate article for Wikipedia. -Axmann8 (Talk) 08:56, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment that citation is from his own non-notable self published book.[1]--Lenticel ^(talk) 09:03, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails WP:BIO; no notable awards or honors, no widely recognized contributions (his book was very much ignored by both the media and the academe). No reliable sources that document his life and works. While it's true that his book did sell out, that can be attributed to the limited copies he produced from self-publishing. His only claim to fame is his questionable criticism of Carlos P. Romulo, and as we all know that association is not enough to make him notable. --Aeon17x (talk) 12:12, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as author of non-notable self-published book, unless sources can be found (and I've tried) that assert his notability as author, journalist or chemist. one brave monkey 12:47, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I checked him out on Google. He seems to be a minor figure in the Philippines' intellectual community. However his main claim to fame in the article is a self-published book whose article was just deleted (I started the AfD on that.) Unless secondary sources have discussed some other of his contributions or his life then there is not enough for an article. Northwestgnome (talk) 17:04, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
