Philippine Competition Commission edit

Nominator(s): Martintepongko (talk) 02:50, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about the Philippine Competition Commission (PCC). It aims to discuss what the Commission is, what it can and cannot do, and other information pertinent to the operations of the Commission. This article should be featured because it is well-researched and it meets all FA criteria. Martintepongko (talk) 02:50, 20 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, suggest withdrawal. Large portions of the article are copied directly from the sources - while most are PD, the article lacks proper attribution for those, and at least one of the sources appears to be copyrighted. Further, most of the sources are not independent, and others are not reliable (eg. UKEssays). Nikkimaria (talk) 15:44, 22 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I also suggest withdrawal. While Nikki's concerns are a show stopper in their own right, this article appears greatly incomplete as it doesn't discuss how effective this body actually is or why it was established. Given the well-known governance, crony capitalism and corruption issues in the Philippines these are essential issues for any articles on this topic (the same would also apply to articles on similar bodies in less troubled countries). Statements such as the law this organisation administers "protects the well-being of consumers and preserves the efficiency of competition in the marketplace" appear to be PR given the actual situation in this country - and indeed in most countries.
