An appeal to Filipino wiki users: re: news reporters edit

I would like to appeal to Wikipedia users in the Philippines (especially unregistered IP addresses) to please avoid putting sections containing less-known news reporters who do not have Wikipedia articles in violation of applicable Wikipedia guidelines. I wouldlike also this article to be safeguarded against further unwanted revisions.

Wikipedia is not an employee directory so please adhere to existing guidelines. KuyaStephenAlaEH (talk) 08:11, 8 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

As KuyaStephenAlaEHposted above, lists of names, etc. embedded into Wikipedia articles are still subject to Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines, particularly WP:LSC. Such lists are not intended to be directories of people who work or may have once worked at the station, so only those whose inclusion is encyclopedically useful should be added as as explained in WP:CSC. The most basic criterion is the an individual need to have their own stand-alone Wikipedia article to be eligible for inclusion, and that is typically a good place to start. Another option is to also include individuals who can be shown to be connected to the station through reliable sources. It may acceptable to add the names of those considered to be main newscasters, etc. of the station, such as senior correspondents, but not every regular reporter or staff member needs to be listed. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:25, 23 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
Agreed Marchjuly . I would also like to suggest something. Similar to how Corkythehornetfan does the job of clearing long list of local and/or national US TV presenters, I think we should retain those with stand-alone articles who are notable and credible enough to fall in applicable rules.--KuyaStephenAlaEH (talk) 03:26, 27 September 2016 (UTC)Reply
