The result was delete. Consensus to delete, primarily on notability grounds, but also on excessively promotional basis. I will also Salt the page, given the issues that have occurred to date. Nosebagbear (talk) 00:11, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Non notable, promotional article about a frat that meets no inclusion criteria. I'm doing this in lieu of letting the prod sit since it'll just be recreated. Praxidicae (talk) 21:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete’This was tagged per WP:G11. While very promotional, it did not reach my threshold for G11. I did see it as WP:A7, and deleted as such. Creator requested reconsideration of the deletion, so I restored. (Such has been my practice with A7’s in the past.) I attempted cleanup, but was unable to establish significant, independent coverage from reliable sources. So here we are.-- Deepfriedokra 22:05, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete *and* Salt I'm a fairly active member of Wikiproject Fraternities and Sororites and have worked in getting information on Fraternity and Sororities in the Philippines as well. I do not doubt that the organization exists, but I've tried looking even in places that google doesn't like sunstar.com.ph and philstar.com (both are newspaper(media company) websites in the Philippines) and *still* haven't been able to grab enough for an article. It is Geographically local in Zamboanga, but with school and local chapters which would mean that any media in Zamboanga would cover them, but national newspapers would be less likely since it has no presence in Manila. I'm leaning toward Salt given the behavior in moving back and forth from Draft to mainspace and back. I'd be willing to work with the original editor in Draft, but not until after this AFD is finished.Naraht (talk) 14:32, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I just move protected the thing. Creator moved it to draft and Praxidicae moved it back. I think it best if we let this run and determine notability.-- Deepfriedokra 17:01, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Comment I feel my G-search revealed an active and vigorous SEO effort. Your mileage may very.-- Deepfriedokra 17:18, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Disagree. In the google search once Facebook, tripod.com (for an old site) and tyronians.org were deleted, what was left that wasn't videos was largely chaotic and not really useful to anyone. I don't think the situation with Tyro Gyn Phi on the web changed significantly because of any effort to get it accepted by Wikipedia. Instead, it represents what happens with a group which while Fraternal, is closely geographical by has little corporate organizational structure. I'd call it the exact opposite in the Fraternity/Sorority Universe from a US Nation wide honor society in a field such as Economics or Spanish) There are other similar geographical (rather than university based) organizations in the Philippines. Take a look at a version List of fraternities and sororities in the Philippines prior to the great cleanup in October 2018 to get a feeling for things. However, none of that makes a difference on *this* article's status.Naraht (talk) 19:30, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Non-notable promo article.--Darwinek (talk) 23:22, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
- Delete Article is promotional, not encyclopedic.TH1980 (talk) 03:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
