Cabaroan, Bacnotan, La Union

Ok, this will be a long one. First, the article came from WikiPilipinas, a website for Filipino information and taste. Due to their niche, they are more lenient in notability standards than we do. Though it passes WikiPilipinas standard, the article does not pass Wikipedia standard. Second, towns are inherently notable, baranggays are not towns. Rather, they are parts of a town. Third, there are thousands of baranggays in our country. It will be a bad idea for Wikipedia to have all of them unless something REALLY interesting is in a particular baranggay. My suggestion is to delete the article and redirect it to Bacnotan, La Union Lenticel ^(talk) 11:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete -- As a wikipedian currently living in La Union, I'm familiar with the name of the barangay (I don't go out much), for some reason. I don't recall what it's known for. But I do have to say that while it may be notable for someone who lives in La Union, I don't see its relevance to the world at large. The only exception I can think of in the case of La Union is Damortis, Santo Tomas, La Union, because of its famous smoked fish industry and for the Damortis PNR Station, which is well known to historians as what used to be the train stop that served as a stepping stone to Baguio and to architectural circles as being one of the best examples of the architecture of its time. Pinoys from all over are familiar with the Barangay, but not necessarily the town of Santo Tomas, La Union. Hm. If the article doesn't exist, do you think I should make it? Hehe. At Any rate, I do vote delete for Cabaroan.Alternativity 11:35, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - these appear to be sub-units of a municipal government. -- Whpq 17:19, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
