Fails WP:GNG, no coverage on the theater itself save for the 40th anniversary Philippine Star article. Other citations are an OpEd, a tag page for Rappler only filled with press release articles of events happening. Hariboneagle927 (talk) 12:53, 20 January 2025 (UTC)

- Comment Similarly the Philstar tags are just PR release for events happening in the theatre (watch this play now, get your tickets now! at contact number type of articles). LionHeartTV's reliability is being contested. I cannot comment whether the Meralco Theatre is substantially mentioned on the aforementioned book though.

- Comment - To clarify, having a tag on Philstar does not automatically make the theater notable. Tags, much like categories on Misplaced Pages, are intended to group news articles that may be related to the subject. While they can be a helpful starting point for finding related coverage, they do not necessarily indicate notability. Additionally, most, if not all, of the articles in that tag only talk about the events held in the theater, but they don’t talk about the theater itself, which I think does not establish WP:SIGCOV on Philstar’s end. Below are the first three articles from that tag that demonstrates the lack of significant coverage for the theater itself despite having a tag. Other articles with the tag are the same as these:
- Cocoy Laurel leads 'Guadalupe: The Musical' in September - Only talks about the event, the only mention of the theater is,
"Guadalupe: The Musical" will run at 8 p.m. from Sept. 28 to Oct. 14, 2018 at the Meralco Theater, with with Saturday and Sunday matinées at 3 p.m.
- Halili 30th-year concert - Similar to the first one, this one only talks about the event and the only mention of the theater is,
The Halili-Cruz School of Ballet (HCSB) celebrates Christmas with a dance concert titled HCSB 30th Anniversary: Isang Pasasalamat at the Meralco Theater tomorrow at 6 p.m.
- The Horse and His Boy opens today at Meralco Theater - Literally the same as the first two, the only mention of the theater is,
If you haven’t told your kids a story recently, take them to Trumpet’s The Horse and His Boy. The journey begins today at the Meralco Theater.
- Cocoy Laurel leads 'Guadalupe: The Musical' in September - Only talks about the event, the only mention of the theater is,
- AstrooKai (Talk) 13:16, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Of course not. At the same time, there are dozens of articles with that tag, only dating back about 15-20 years, and the "40 years" article is clearly SIGCOV. SportingFlyer T·C 20:33, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. I agree that this is a notable theatre. Bduke (talk) 00:05, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
