Non-notable show, with numerous spamlinks to facebook pages. Unsourced. [[CharlieEchoTango]] 08:31, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge all articles of the regional versions of TV Patrol into a single article, and clean up. Probably ABS-CBN Regional News Network. As a local, I know these programs well and they are not 'shows' per se, but in most cases are the sole TV news providers in their respective areas (excluding Metro Manila). Each station covers a specific region (often several islands/provinces), so I'd think they were notable (they are themselves secondary sources, being news programs). I have also informed Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines as this falls within the scope of the wikiproject (I hope that's not canvassing heh).--Obsidi♠n^Soul 10:07, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and Redirect - per reasoning given by Obsidi. Subject of article itself has not established independent notability as stated in WP:TVSERIES. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Howard. The fact that this is also the only regional newscast not only in Tacloban City, but in the entire Eastern Visayas region, should assuage some form of notability among the nearly four million people who live in the region, and if I were to use Obsidian Soul's reasoning, keeping the articles as they are seem to be more appropriate rather than merging all of them into a single article. Notability here ought to be independent of reliable sources, especially since in the Philippines, reliable sources can be hard to find, and if Facebook links are a problem, then we can easily clean them up. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 00:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Howard and Sky Harbor. Per WP:TVSERIES, the news program's main point of notability is it is the main news program (if not the only news program) in television delivered in Waray-Waray language. Although I support the creation of the article ABS-CBN Regional News Network. --Bluemask (talk) 09:58, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  I think you mean ABS-CBN Regional Network Group, which redirects to List of ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation channels and stations. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 10:42, 16 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per Howard and Sky Harbor. -- Joaquin008 ^(talk) 17:15, 17 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge & Redirect - Per other comments stipulated above. --TitanOne (talk) 06:27, 18 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
