Proposed deletion of Doug Tham


The article Doug Tham has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:47, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Doug Tham for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Doug Tham is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Doug Tham until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Naming conventions
Regarding this change, the Wikipedia manual of style calls for the use of surnames in articles rather than given names, with a few exceptions. The notable exception that I can see that might apply to the Doug Tham article is if this is a Malay name, in which case the subject would always be addressed by his or her given name, not with the patronymic. Is this the case for this subject? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:18, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
