Similar case as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sirang Lupa (2nd nomination). Unsourced barangay (administrative ward/village) article. Also, it is similar to both the problematic cases of Milagrosa and Paciano Rizal: it only serves as a directory: a breach of WP:NOTDIRECTORY.

See also Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines/Archive 47#Are barangays notable? (can we please have a consensus now?). At the most closest alternative, redirect to Calamba, Laguna#Barangays. AfD is created to provide a strong basis for redirection. JWilz12345 (Talk|Contrib's.) 02:55, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Found nothing about this besides a google map location and this Wikipedia article, not notable. Traumnovelle (talk) 08:46, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One of these utterly impossible Philippines articles. It had 195 people living there in the 1903 census. Lots of historical results in English including mentions in parliament and legal matters, and the establishment of a co-operative in 1991, but can only find real estate listings. I haven't searched in local newspapers, though, but I'm making the assumption this needs to pass GNG and not GEOLAND, and I can't quite get there yet.

Redirect to Palo Alto (disambiguation). Palo Alto, Calamba already redirects to Calamba, Laguna#Barangays and I'll add an entry for it at Palo Alto (disambiguation). There are insufficient reliable sources to say the hyphenated version of this name should only refer to this barangay, and some evidence ([1], [2]) that this barangay is also known as "Palo Alto" without the hyphen. Either way, there's no evidence of standalone notability. Dclemens1971 (talk) 15:01, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that this is the best solution. —seav (talk) 18:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have no opposition to this. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:18, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Palo Alto (disambiguation) per Dclemens1971's suggestion. HueMan1 (talk) 03:54, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per Dclemens1971. It's not impossible that an article could be written about the barangay, but it would require sources that haven't been demonstrated and would need to be at a different title. Walsh90210 (talk) 20:52, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
