Death of Darren Ng Wei Jie

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Like many brutal crimes, this one has received its fair share of news coverage. However, I fail to see how the coverage gets it past WP:NOTNEWS or WP:NCRIME. AleatoryPonderings (talk) 04:45, 18 October 2020 (UTC)

KEEP. i dont agree with you. it was quite brutal and got quite large media attention. if you check the NEWSPAPERSG, you will find nearly a 100 eng language newspaper articles reporting the case. i think it was because the citing of number of sources was what makes you think is reason for deletion but i respectfully point out to you that it should not be deleted since it is quite a notable one that captured a lot of public attention at that time.

It is not available on the online version, but it is available in the print edition of the book itself.

to be honest speaking, i dont know why is it not available on the online version, because the online version of the book got 24 crimes recorded in it, it is obvious they left out one crime, and i know it is the Downtown East ncident since i read the book before and i know it.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep - Notable enough for Wikipedia, even in Europe this case is pretty well known. Inexpiable (talk) 12:08, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
 * This is not true. In Norwegian media, for instance, the case has never been mentioned once. I think the article fails to explain why the event, an incident of gang violence, is notable or has a cultural endurance. The "reactions" section pertains to his family, as well as the "reaction" from the victim's neighbour which can't be described as anything but puffing up the article. Geschichte (talk) 08:13, 25 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Didnt you see that there is a section saying about how the public reacted to the case? That time, it was said that the feelings of the public run high and many were horrified by the violence expressed, especially to those who witnessed the killing (including young children). The government also took steps to manage the risk of youths joining gangs by introducing programmes and legislations. Since Inexpiable said that the case was known in Europe, and Geschichte said it is not reported in Norwegian, the case must have been reported somewhere else in Europe and Geschichte is not in the area where the case was reported; no offence here, Geschichte.

 * Keep - I'll have to agree with NelsonLee20042020, the murder was quite brutal and it has significant news coverage. Omniscientmoose42 (talk) 19:22, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Even after ten years, it is still getting coverage. Has had an impact not only back then, but also now. Foxnpichu (talk) 22:04, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - The gang attack and murder had been significant enough for public attention, as well as subsequent Government intervention the following year. TheGreatSG&#39;rean (talk) 05:33, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
