Article is supposed to be covered into more specific http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_general_election,_2010 where same procedures in electoral process does held. The "notability" of facing off of former mayors and incumbent mayors during elections are not new. The process of election in Manila is also the same of local elections held in the Philippines all throughout. JL 09 _^q?c 13:25, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. This should be easy. The subject has and will probably have tons more sources in the coming weeks. Wikipedia has articles on local elections. See New York City mayoral election, 2009. –Howard the Duck 13:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

:I agree that there will be tons of news ahead as election comes. But remember that it is not a great news event to speak.--JL 09 _^q?c 13:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

::"Great news event" ≠ Notability. P.S. The "facing off of former mayors" is not the "claim to fame" of this article. It was simply a hook for WP:DYK. –Howard the Duck 13:38, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep. Typically, such an article already notes a notable event, and given the nature of Manila, I'd say this was over the line. Crystallballery did not enter the nom's argument, but in this case, it's moot - it will happen, and we know when. Just sayin'. I'd say let it lie (and here, I'll do a blanket invocation of WP:IAR if I'm missing something), and as time goes on, material should be added by the maintainers of this article. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 00:37, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

• Oppose - This article meets WP:Notability and I don't see a reason to delete this page. NHRHS2010 |  Talk to me  03:05, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
• Strongest possible keep per WP:BEFORE - these are de facto provincial elections, as Manila is the capital city and a province of millions of people, in a country of over 80 million people. This election is different, in part, because Manila was hardest hit by the recent Typhoons. Politics in the Philippines is a national blood sport, and everybody there watches the elections in Manila. The reasons given by the nominator are essentially WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and WP:IDONTLIKEIT. Bearian (talk) 17:31, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
