There is no evidence at all that this business manager satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The only source cited is a record of his death on the web site of his former employer. A Google search turned up various unreliable sources (including Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc) his employer's site again, another, much briefer, report of his death, a page on the website of The Times of India which simply says "There are no news stories on Douglas Quijano" and gives no more information about him at all, a mere entry in a listing site, and so on, but nothing that could be regarded as substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. A PROD was removed in February 2010 by an editor who gave an edit sumamry saying "thi sguy is probably notable", but made no attempt to add sources to the article to show that he was. (That editor did post to the article's talk page, giving a link that was supposedly to a newspaper article about Douglas Quijano, but the link is now dead, and the editor gave no indication at all as to what the content of the article was, or how substantial the coverage was, so it is, unfortunately, impossible to take that into account.) Almost five years after the statement that he is "probably" notable, nobody has added any more evidence of notability to the article.

11. DOUGLAS QUIJANO, Talent manager
« STAR MAKER
Douglas Quijano
Douglas Quijano has a sharp eye for spotting raw and young talent and molding them into screen idols. That's what he did with the likes of Richard Gomez and Jomari Yllana. Quijano is foremost an image-maker, and he uses that experience to carefully shape his talents into sophisticated sex symbols programmed to sell anything from movie tickets to underwear. With the transfer of most of his talents to GMA, he is also actively involved in the conceptualization and casting of programs there.
Analysis of the sources:
The first two sources were published before Douglas Quijano's death. They are from the Philippine Daily Inquirer (which is considered one of the Philippines' newspapers of record) and the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism.
The sixth source, an obituary from GMA Network, is roughly 730 words. The ninth source, an obituary from Pinoy Weekly, is roughly 1,414 words.
The widespread coverage of Quijano's death strongly indicates that he is notable because he did not die an unusual death (which would attract media attention). Instead, he died a natural death (by heart attack).
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Douglas Quijano to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
