The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Keep. AfD is a debate; the earlier deletes seem not only less informed than the later keeps, but have not responded to the convincing points put forward, and this reduces the weight of their opinions, which would otherwise have resulted in no consensus.

~~Speedy~~ Delete A7 No assertion of notability asserted. "Prominent" and "popular" are not assertions of notability. ColourBurst 23:46, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes they are. Kappa 04:00, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment "Prominent" and "popular" do not say anything. What did they do that was prominent? What made them popular? Nevertheless, it's contested here on AfD and so the speedy delete criteria can't apply anymore. ColourBurst 15:17, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    - "Doesn't explain why" may be a good reason to delete, but it's not a good reason to speedy delete without any further examination. Kappa 22:29, 20 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep he was a columnist in a mass media newspaper. He resigned recently amid political pressure, in a controversy. He was already well-known in Singapore before that and, besides his columns, he is often interviewed and cited in newspaper. --Vsion 04:38, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, ex-legitimade journalist, and the claim of being cited in newspapers seems to be correct [1] [2]. More notable than Cyrus Farivar. Kappa 05:10, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, famous blogger as well, often appears in Mrbrown's blog and podcast. They both had columns in Today, and has lots of media attention. --Ter e nce Ong _{(T | C)} 15:34, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
