The location is not in the Philippines but I think it is appropriate to place aPhilippines category since it is related to the Philippines.--Jondel 05:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Removal of "Memorials to José Rizal" category edit
I'm puzzled on the removal of the "Memorials to José Rizal" category based (according to the edit summary) on WP:SHAREDNAME. It's not just that it happens to share a name with José Rizal or the etymology of the park name is uncertain. There actually is a highly visible bust of him in the park. The name was chosen because there's a large Filipino community in the area and it's listed in official sources by his full name as "Dr. Jose Rizal Park" ([1]. As long as that category exists, this article seems to fit. Bennetto (talk) 05:02, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
- @Bennetto: Thanks for that background; I stand corrected. Today, the only thing the article says is "the park is named after José Rizal, national hero of the Philippines" which is textbook WP:SHAREDNAME. Please add that info about it having a bust of him and being part of a Filipino community (maybe with a Parks Dept citation) and we're all good. RevelationDirect (talk) 23:33, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
