Not sure whether this Singaporean Brigadier general is notable enough for inclusion or not. Seems a bit tenuous in retrospect (I created the original stub). Uhooep (talk) 19:58, 22 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:BASIC. Mztourist (talk) 05:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete 1. Singapore generals are dime a dozen. Notability of many of these generals are gained either as Chief of Army/Air Force/Navy, or when they have gained reputation in their non-military offices. 2. WP:NSOLDIER has been deprecated by WP:BIO, thus the statement that 'generals are always notable' cannot be assertively true on wikipedia. 3. WP:SIGCOV not met. IAL and mindef sources are primary, and do not denote the notability of the subject. Malay Mail source is about LKY's death, not the subject. Even the RS article about his appointment to IAL (and appointments of other civil servants) lacks sigcov. P.S. I don't mind a redirect to other pages such as Institute for Adult Learning like what it was seen at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lee Yi-Jin, if it is warranted. – robertsky (talk) 10:19, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
