Philippines Memory of the World Register

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is no more than a WP:CFORK of Memory of the World Register – Asia and the Pacific. It contains a list of the Filipino documents listed in the UNESCO register, which is the same content that can be found in the parent article, plus what seems to be a long and unencyclopedic rant by the author about what documents they believe should be included on the register (a violation of WP:NOR).

Unlike the similarly-titled UK Memory of the World Register, which concerns a distinct national list maintained by the British government independent of UNESCO, there is no indication anywhere other than this Wikipedia article that such a list exists in the Philippines. The website of the Filipino delegation to UNESCO mentions nothing about the existence of such a register. Rfwang4 (talk) 07:33, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This WP:SOAPBOXing WP:ESSAY whose main contents are an attempt to convince the Philippines to make additional nominations to the register - listing possible events (and lets mind WP:BALL and reasons they should be nominated as well as chiding the Philippines for failing to nominate (the 2011 memory being nominated by foreigners).Icewhiz (talk) 12:10, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I agree that there is no reason provided that this fork deserves its own article. While the Philippine government does maintain a register of cultural properties that includes documents, there is no specific register for documents. —seav (talk) 16:31, 1 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
(with some regret) Delete -- An article such as this might be legitimate, but this is not it. The article would concentrate on describing the four registered archives, whereas much of this is a soapbox essay on non-registered items that the author considers important. The alternative might be to prune of essay off it. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:02, 7 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
