  • Do Not Delete Mr. Nadal is well-known in the Filipino American community. It is unfortunate that others are deemed as not notable enough, when there are a lot of comedians and writers on wikipedia who aren't questioned even if their credentials are equal or less. I believe that whoever wrote the original entry may have wanted to increase awareness of Filipino Americans, since we have been a group that has been invisible in all forms of media, education, and government. How else can we as a group get any recognition?--24.193.35.18 17:42, 27 December 2006 (UTC)PMT
    • Comment - The person who created the article has the username "Hotbachelor" and the earliest versions of the article contained the unsourced assertion that the subject of the article was names one of America's hottest bachelors by People magazine. It's probably fair to assume that the article was written more out of self promotion than to oincrease awareness of Filipino Americans, which is not the purpose of an encyclopedia in the first place. If someone is "invisible in all forms of media", they don't meet WP:BIO by definition. Geoffrey Spear 16:11, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
