Article challenged for sources since 2009. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER. Cannot find good sources in GNews and GNews Archives. GBooks have mentions about her having some parts in films and a gossip article about her status as a sexy star but that's it. --Lenticel ^(talk) 06:09, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ per WP:SEXYSTAR.-KH-1 (talk) 12:16, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The above vote should not be considered legitimate by Admins, because it points to the "Ignore All Rules" tradition, and even that requires a little more justification. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:59, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relax, it was a joke. I couldn't really find any coverage in WP:RS, though the time frame and location makes it difficult. Lean delete.-KH-1 (talk) 00:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nice joke. Although I think I owe you both an explanation about its context. The Philippines is a highly conservative Catholic country back then so someone showing a bit too much skin raised too many eyebrows. What deem as a modest summer getup might is considered too sexy back then (Here's one of her "daring" pics (SFW by the way)). --Lenticel ^(talk) 01:03, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - She had a long career and probably gained some notice as a sex symbol. But at least in English, all I can find are various lists of films that she was in and it does not appear that she was high in the credits or received reliable coverage for her acting. Even less can be found for her music. I don't think she reaches WP:SIGCOV, which requires more than lists and directory entries. I would be willing to change my vote if anyone can find anything in different languages. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:06, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
