There is no Liberal Party of Navotas (as the article implies); there is a Liberal Party in Navotas though. This means the Liberal Party in Navotas doesn't have any juridical entity. Since the Philippines is a unitary state it makes no sense to create municipal (or even provincial) "chapters" of national parties. –HTD 17:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

• Merge if there is any useful content that could be taken to the general Liberal Party article. Otherwise, delete, since the Liberal Party in Navotas isn't a unique local chapter. Chri$topher 20:27, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
• The only salvageable part of the article is its list of leaders in the infobox but the Liberal Party article doesn't list each and every leadership info on every city and province so there's nothing to merge it with. The supposed foundation of the Liberal Party of Navotas in 2013 is not found on the cited webpage nor it is accurate: there had to be a Liberal Party in Navotas as early as the late 1940s when the Philippines was in a supposed two-party system. –HTD 03:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
• Redirect to Liberal Party (Philippines) per WP:BRANCH. Subject of this AfD has received several mention in non-primary reliable sources, however none of these mentions give the subject significant coverage, therefore the subject fails WP:GNG. Furthermore, most of those mentions are local to the subject of this AfD and thus does not meet the requirements set forth in BRANCH for the subject to have an independent article from its parent organization. Therefore, a redirect to the parent organization should be the chosen outcome.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:41, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

It is now clean, It is a local affilliate of Liberal and Called Partido Laban Navotas. -Angelo1345 (talk) 17:10, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

• Eh, this is not how it works. You can't close discussions. In this case, this would now be like "Team Lani Cayetano", the Nacionalista Party slate, in Taguig is, which is quite different to the Tinga slate there which is actually a local party recognized by the Commission on Elections and actually has a juridical personality. No one has come up with anything saying that the Liberal Party in Navotas or "Partido Laban Navotas" has a juridical personality. –HTD 17:25, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
• Plus the references of the article don't mention a "rename". The mediangbayan.ph website uses the COMELEC mirror saying that the slate is under the Liberal Party. –HTD 17:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

It is called Partido Laban Navotas in our place. and in our sample ballot (PLP). -NavotenoAngelo (talk) 08:34, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

:First, please don't use level 2 headings. Use level 3 if you want to.

:Second, that really has nothing to do with anything. In Taguig as stated above, sample ballots show "Team Lani Cayetano". In Cebu, the Liberal slate is called "Team Rama". Partido Laban Navotas, Team Lani Cayetano and Team Rama have no juridical personality are considered "chapters" of the LP (for the 1st and 3rd) and the NP (the 2nd), as stated in the official ballots. –HTD 09:01, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
