• Keep. Though the current version of the article is a sad stub, a Google News Archive search shows significant coverage in many independent, reliable sources for this group. When the [http://www.nytimes.com/1986/03/09/us/for-people-power-in-us-what-now.html New York Times] ran an article about the response of anti-Marcos groups to the dictator's fall, this group was mentioned in the first sentence.

Our coverage of organization opposing the Marcos dictatorship is weak and this article is weak. Deleting it isn't the solution; improving it is.

• Keep - If the subject was covered by such publications such as The New York Times and Newsweek then why not? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 08:27, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

: If the article had more meat on its bones, then perhaps it should be kept - but as of now it consists of 1 sentence and no referencing. There is no indication or evidence of any notability in this article. Improve it if you can, please. PKT(alk) 13:51, 2 October 2013 (UTC)

• Keep. I don't understand why this was relisted when the nominator's rationale has been clearly refuted and there are no other delete opinions. Adding flesh to the bones won't be achieved by deletion, but only by editing. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:04, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
• Keep - Sources noted by Cullen328 clearly show that coverage exists to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 21:30, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
