Request to delete this article or modify not with authors with black propaganda

Description is disgracing and discrediting. Some sources used was from Rappler, OPS etc. But when Bongbong shows his documents from Oxford University, it was immediately claimed false documents even when it came from the said university. This person is the newly elect President in our country but the details posted here is quite absurd. post sources from the University instead, not from local sources in Philippines who didn't went to check personally. Stop spreading hate and fake news. learn to Respect. Hirayapage (talk) 07:20, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

@Hirayapage: This article is not going to be deleted on those grounds. Rappler is also generally reliable as determined by Wikipedia's community, and there's no reason for us to discredit it. If you want us to include the information you're claiming to have, provide a link to a reliable source. Chlod (say hi!) 07:25, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
Respectfully, please see WP:NPOV. You obviously have strong opinions on the Marcos family (which is your right) but you need to edit Wikipedia with a neutral point of view. As Chlod stated, we follow reliable sources and do not use our own opinions in making edits (to the extent that is possible). ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 18:47, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
This reference from Rappler: [1] has a statement directly from Oxford University itself, and not from the alumni association of Oxford graduates in the Philippines. I suppose this is exactly what you are looking for? Howard the Duck (talk) 19:01, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Inappropriate description.

The way of describing his father was obviously biased and not appropriate. He’s not just a dictator or kleptocrat. He also give many contributions here in the Philippines. 152.32.112.128 (talk) 13:29, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

Dictators should be called as they are, dictator/kleptocrat, regardless of their achievements. Then the said "achievements" could only be cited. Proffypaul (talk) 02:50, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

This is true. The terms used sounded inappropriate for a President in our country who has proven his leadership. He's been accused of stealing government money with no proof. He was rich even when he became our President because he is a well known lawyer of a rich family. Also, Philippines in his time doesn't have much resources to be stolen by someone in authority. Yes, he is a dictator for proclaiming Martial law. This is because of the Communist party, rebellion who wants to take over the government. If he didn't proclaimed Martial law, we will not have this kind of freedom in our country. We should know first why Martial law is necessary. Also, he did consult his cabinet members and it is deemed necessary for it that time. Hirayapage (talk) 14:11, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

FAQs

This talk page should have an FAQ. We keep getting the same requests almost everyday, as if the ones making the requests don't even backread. Howard the Duck (talk) 19:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

@Howard the Duck: Would be in support of having an FAQ. Not gonna make assumptions on how effective it will be (but I'm hoping that it would be). Perhaps an edit notice pointing users to the FAQ would also be good? Chlod (say hi!) 23:10, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
I added a FAQ box to the top of this talk page with what I believe is the most asked question at the moment. Feel free to add any more questions. Ganmatthew (talk) 02:58, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Removal of 'kleptocrat' as a descriptor of Ferdinand Marcos

Hi! @El cid, el campeador I've noticed that you removed the descriptor "kleptocrat" from Ferdinand Marcos in the intro to this article? Could you provide a reason for doing so as as a Wiki Request for Comment has also approved of the usage of it as a descriptor. At the moment I will take this edit in good faith. But if I don't receive a reply I will revert the edit. Thanks!--Firekiino (talk) 07:29, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello - I think my edit summary explains it, but basically, we don’t need to use every descriptor for Ferdinand when we introduce him, since we are wiki-linking his name. For example, see MacKenzie Scott. It wikilinks to Jeff Bezos, without listing every title of him. As I noted in my edit summary, “dictator” already has negative connotations without the added “kleptocrat” title. I.e it gets the point across. If there is a consensus to include it I won’t stand in the way, but this is my reasoning. Thanks for reaching out, cheers! ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 12:02, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Hi again! The term is also added to most mentions of him that I've seen as well so I also thought it would be best to keep consistency in that sense. I believe a consensus was indeed reached together with a Request for comment was also done in the Ferdinand Marcos talk page. You can check it here Talk:Ferdinand Marcos#RfC for the use of the term "kleptocrat" in Wikivoice on a political figure. If this looks good to you as well then I'll revert the change when I can. Thanks again! Firekiino (talk) 16:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
I believe the consensus at the RFC was to list Marcos as a kleptocrat and a dictator on the article about himself; now if that applies to other articles is a different question altogether, but at least "dictator" is unquestionable: the president ruled without a legislature for 8 years. Even dictators such as the Kim dynasty of North Korea have rubber-stamp parliaments "elected" "regularly". Howard the Duck (talk) 19:47, 14 May 2022 (UTC)
That is my opinion on the RfC as well. But my change was really only stylistic - it's easier to read two titles as opposed to three and I think the two got the story across fine (considering the negative connotation of dictator, kleptocrat is not needed in this article). But I have no huge issue with including it and do not dispute that Ferdinand was such. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk 18:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
  • I agree with Howard the Duck and El cid, el campeador about the RFC's applicability to this page, or lack thereof. I think the dictator and kleptocrat descriptors need to be moved down a paragraph and contextualized properly otherwise we run the risk of turning off Pinoy from reading the whole article - and learning about Bongbong's historical distortions. MOS:FIRST says the first sentence should tell the nonspecialist reader what or who the subject is. CutePeach (talk) 14:18, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
Why would you care about "turning off Pinoy" (sic)? We are in the business of facts and truth here in Wikipedia, no matter how audiences feel. -Object404 (talk) 06:51, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
Ah I see... risk of turning them off from reading the entire article... well I'm sorry, but facts are facts. Do you propose we dilute them? -Object404 (talk) 06:53, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
I agree. Do we propose making Adolf Hitler "more palatable" by removing mentions of the Holocaust from the first paragraph? Ganmatthew (talk) 07:25, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Requested move 19 May 2022

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. 4 support, 5 defer, 10 opposed. It can be re-opened at a later time with regards to the defer vote. (non-admin closure) Ganmatthew (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2022 (UTC)


Bongbong MarcosFerdinand Marcos Jr. – The main title header of this article was moved from Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to Bongbong Marcos in June 2015 and has not been discussed in nearly seven years. Unlike official use of the name Jimmy Carter, rather than "James Carter" or Bill Clinton, rather than "William Clinton", key outlets, such as The New York Times, The Guardian, ABC News or Human Rights Watch have referenced him as Ferdinand Jr., rather than as "Bongbong". Among Wikipedias, Dutch Wikipedia, French Wikipedia, German Wikipedia, Italian Wikipedia and Polish Wikipedia also use "Ferdinand Marcos Jr." as their main header. On the other hand, BBC and CBS News have used the form Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr.. If consensus develops for its use, I would also support the extended form. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 20:37, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Basing it on other wikis is a bit of a bad idea for moving, not only because other wikis may have different article titling conventions, but the sample provided above doesn't provide the full picture. According to a Wikidata headcount, 26 wikis (including the Spanish Wikipedia, Catalan Wikipedia, Finnish Wikipedia, Japanese Wikipedia, Russian Wikipedia and Wikipedias for Philippine languages, namely Tagalog Wikipedia (most used spoken language in the Philippines), Winaray Wikipedia, and Cebuano Wikipedia) use the current title, 27 if you count Simple English Wikipedia. In contrast, there are only 10 wikis that use the official name, including those you've already mentioned above. Chlod (say hi!) 20:58, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
English Wikipedia has an overwhelming presence and, upon creating an entry, many Wikipedias tend to copy its existing main title header. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 21:14, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Support - As it's his actual name. GoodDay (talk) 21:53, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Defer - The current most common name used is the one in the title, although of course that's from before he gets inaugurated. I submit that we won't be sure what the convention will be until maybe two months after inauguration, assuming all happens as currently projected. I think it's wisest to defer this conversation until, say, two months after, on 30 August 2022. - Thundersub (talk) 00:18, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
Oppose - Wikipedia uses the English common name.Joe Biden is not Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. Twa0726 (talk) 02:32, 20 May 2022 (UTC)
I've placed in my statement the current convention for Philippine president articles in the English Wikipedia. They use their legal name so unless we start changing the rest of them it may be good to follow the convention. Sabaybayin (talk) 10:47, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Vice Ganda and Susan Roces are stage names. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 01:16, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose - it is his commonly known name, and Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. would lead to confusion with his father, Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. -Object404 (talk) 04:08, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose - The nickname Bongbong is more recognizable than his real name. Wikipedia articles generally use the most commonly used name (e.g. Bill Clinton instead of William Clinton). Ryme071 (talk) 16:06, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose Per Ryme071. This is the most common name used in the media. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 21:29, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Defer as per Thundersub, but for me it should be at least a year. Benigno Aquino III was at Noynoy Aquino when he became president. Local WP:RS, which is has overwhelming usage here than foreign ones, consistently use "Bongbong" for now, but that's not a guarantee once he becomes president. Howard the Duck (talk) 22:35, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose, since I have heard the nickname "Bongbong" be use more often than his formal name. After all, as other people here have said, we talk of "Jimmy Carter" instead of "James Carter", "Bill Clinton" instead of "William Clinton", "Joe Biden" instead of "Joseph Biden", and so forth. SleepTrain456 (talk) 23:06, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Defer - From what I've seen, international media outlets are more likely to refer to Bongbong Marcos by his full name, likely as it is formal, while local media are more likely to refer to him as Bongbong, likely as it is more commonly used in the local setting. However, this is not very consistent either, since most local media will alternate between referring to him as "Bongbong", "Marcos Jr", or simply "Marcos". It is likely that their choice of what they choose to refer to him is editorial discretion. Anyway, I agree with Howard and Thundersub that this should be deferred until after inauguration. Ganmatthew (talk) 05:07, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Support - Looking at the current convention of all Philippine presidents we can see that of the presidents that have nicknames that are not their initials (e.g GMA) or not mononyms (such as Digong). I support this move because it will maintain consistency among Philippine President pages. Relevant examples I believe are:
CASE 1: Corazon Aquino instead of Cory Aquino
CASE 2: Benigno Aquino III instead of Noynoy Aquino
CASE 3: Joseph Estrada instead of Erap Estrada
CASE 4: Fidel V. Ramos instead of Eddie Ramos
I would support either Ferdinand Marcos Jr. or the extended Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr in line with the conventions of the Philippine English Wikipedia. Sabaybayin (talk) 10:42, 22 May 2022 (UTC)
Also note that the four cases you mentioned are actually still their public names, which can be considered as a nickname of their actual names.
  • Maria Corazon Sumulong C. Aquino - Corazon Aquino - Cory Aquino
  • Benigno Simeon C. Aquino III - Benigno Aquino III - Noynoy Aquino
  • Jose Marcelo Ejercito - Joseph Estrada - Erap
  • Fidel V. Ramos - Eddie Ramos/FVR Ganmatthew (talk) 11:08, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

  • "Defer" - It seems that there's no general consensus among the general press, I mean local and foreign, about what to use. It might take a while for a convention to be established. Sparryx (talk) 04:43, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

Request for Page Protection

This page needs to request for page protection immediately. The page history has devolved into an ugly tug-of-war between both supporters and enemies of the subject. This has to stop. It has persisted over the years. Temporary semi-protection is definitely not enough given how long this has persisted. I am opting for indefinite semi-protection. --Arquenevis (talk) 12:05, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

However if you would like to contest this do bring up sufficient and reliable sourcing that proves currently used sources are biased so that appropriate action can be taken. You might also wish to contest the resources reliability hereWP:RS as well. Thanks and happy editing Firekiino (talk) 13:09, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Bongbong Marcos

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Bongbong Marcos's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "proclamation-may25":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 22:13, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Youtuber

Bong Bong Marcos is also a Youtuber with a following where he regularly posts. Why is the youtube infobox missing?64.53.212.155 (talk) 16:54, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Yeah these should have never been removed from the infobox, and have something about this in the prose as well. His Youtube vlogs have been instrumental to his election. Howard the Duck (talk) 20:27, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
I recall this was argued against by @Princess Faye at User talk:Nuwordlife0rder#YouTube personality by politician, who argued that Template:Infobox YouTube personality is only meant for articles about YouTube personalities.
That being said, I'm not familiar if there are any actual guidelines regarding this. Ganmatthew (talk) 04:33, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
@Howard the Duck: What you mean is that his YouTube channel is being used for the election only? So it means that he is not really a YouTube personality or YouTuber. GMA Network, ABS-CBN, TV5 and other celebrity individuals has their own YouTube channels, but why we did not include their YouTube channels to their respectively articles? I expected that PewDiePie is the best example of being a YouTuber. But I think that a YouTube channel that being used for political purposes doesn't really make you a YouTuber. Celebrities like Michael V. is the best example of being an actor and a YouTuber as well. —Princess Faye (my talk) 07:31, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
Not sure if this clarifies things, but he has used his channel for non-political content several times, and he has uploaded even before the 2022 elections. Itsquietuptown ✉️📜 17:03, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
@Howard the Duck and Ganmatthew: Are there any significant reasons about him to say that he is really a YouTuber, what are those? What I mean is, you can really upload any videos you want to YouTube, but it is not a reason to call you a YouTuber. —Princess Faye (my talk) 07:49, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
My view on this is more of an abstain, since while I do agree that his vlogs on his YouTube channel were instrumental to his presidential campaign and the subsequent election win, I do agree as well that the infobox is more suited to personalities that are more "full-time" into YouTube as a profession. Ganmatthew (talk) 14:35, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
I haven't checked the rules for the Youtuber infobox, but at the very least his Youtube channel has to be discussed in prose. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:22, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Stick to a single infobox image

As can be seen by the above edit request and the multitudes of unilateral photo changes done today and a bit of yesterday (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, not counting reverts), perhaps we might need to double-down on keeping a specific photo. At this rate, we'll have started an edit war over which photo to use. Can editors here agree to stick to a single file? Chlod (say hi!) 15:41, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

I like the recent infobox image. The latest revert regarding the infobox image was due to it being a copyvio. At the time being we should stick with the current infobox image until an official portrait (non copyvio) is found. TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:35, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
