Bio of a person whose entire claim to notability is that he was executed for drug trafficking. Although there was of course some press coverage of the case, I don’t believe this amounts to a case for inclusion. Mccapra (talk) 22:29, 22 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep hi all, i created this article and others of a similar style to provided info on foreign drug mules who were caught moving drugs via Singapore's changi airport, info is impossible to find online so i had to dig into archived newspapers (i have provided links throughout). i wanted to record the circumstances of their arrest and their attempts to present legal arguments to get off the charge, which always failed ... if others think its not Notable there isnt much i can say in reply as that is their opinion, howevere i will point out there are countless other articles that could be considered not notable, such as Duncan McKenzie (murderer), that have been on wikipedia for many years without any issues at all — Preceding unsigned comment added by WorldTravleerAndPhotoTaker (talk • contribs) 08:31, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A rather run-of-the-mill crime, only reported in one local newspaper. WorldTravleerAndPhotoTaker, if you haven't done so you should read about WP:NOTABILITY and RELIABLE SOURCES. There are even rules for perpetrators of crime on the WP:NOTABILITY page. The decision about which information is suitable for WP must be based on those rules, not a subjective sense of importance. I think you will see that this person does not meet the criteria. Lamona (talk) 03:03, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    one guideline for perpetrators of crimes is: "The motivation for the crime or the execution of the crime is unusual" so it could be argued that being one of the fewer than a dozen Hongkongers caught smuggling heroin via Changi airport and then being executed for it would meet that criteria, however 'Notability' is subjective depending on who is reviewing the content i suppose WorldTravleerAndPhotoTaker (talk) 16:01, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is an entire section in Capital punishment in Singapore for those executed for drug smuggling. It makes sense to start there. Not everyone who has been executed is notable, and if you look at Chijioke Stephen Obioha you see that information about that case was taken up as a cause and reported in more than one source and more than one country.
