• Can the deleted image be replaced by an example or demonstration of the spike instead? - AnakngAraw (talk) 00:22, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

• I have some selected images here. - AnakngAraw (talk) 02:32, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

• Only images that appear in the nominated article can be used in a DYK nomination. At present, none do, and any image inserted into the article would need to be appropriate to it, and show volleyball in the Philippines. (If it wasn't of Filipino players, there isn't any justification I can see to include it.) BlueMoonset (talk) 07:17, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

• Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:36, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

• How about this image of Filipino volleyball players? - AnakngAraw (talk) 02:11, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

• The article has no reliable sources. Chris Troutman (talk) 06:44, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

• It has been over two weeks since the review, and the nominator has not edited on Wikipedia since that time. Absent reliable sources (about.com is definitely not reliable; livestrong.com is dubious), there's nothing left to do but close the nomination as unsuccessful.
