The result was no consensus. There's some agreement in the discussion that this is a borderline case, but there's no clear consensus on whether the page meets policy even after two relists. clpo13(talk) 20:50, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

I admit this is a borderline case, he gets a few mentions, but not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:SIGCOV, and therefore doesn't meet WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 01:51, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep - This seems to be sigcov 1 2. FOARP (talk) 08:23, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment - While the first is borderline non-trivial, the second is a promotional bio, and doesn't qualify for WP:GNG. Onel 5969  TT me 11:11, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete - It's a borderline case, but I'd tend towards deleting as I don't think it passes WP:GNG. Skirts89 (talk) 20:16, 16 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - Hi, Just some background: this page was created during a Wikithon to improve Wikipedia coverage of Singapore Literature. See the liveblog pages here, and here. We understand the paucity of sources means it's a borderline case for deletion, but the Singapore literature scene is small (relative to other South-east Asian cities such as Manila, and definitely relative to other cultural capitals such as New York or Paris); I'd make the case that the "in-depth coverage" standards might bias Wikipedia coverage towards writers who live and work in communities with more developed literary infrastructure. We hope that the deletion notice be removed, and this article be flagged for WP:AFI instead. Cheers JayDubYewHo (talk) 05:25, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
