Death of Darren Ng Wei Jie
AfDs for this article:


 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article was previously deleted per Articles for deletion/Murder of Darren Ng. While this does not seem to be a recreation of the deleted article, the grounds for deletion listed in the AfD still seem relevant to me and this present article is mostly made up of tabloid fodder. A pity, since the author has evidently invested much time into it. Sorry, Nelson! (Actually, upon further scrutiny, a whole slew of other articles created by the author also seem to have questionable notability but I hesitate to mass-nom at this point in time...)

 * Keep. Per first AFD keep reasons. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:36, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Per Articles for deletion/Death of Darren Ng Wei Jie (2020) discussion, which came much later than that of Articles for deletion/Murder of Darren Ng (2013). One also have to note that further details came to light after 2013 that established its notability and lasting effects on society. Such as in 2014, Ng's parents deciding to guide Ng's friends for their betterment; and that the case being cited in 2020 as an example of non-preferential treatment in the judicial system. – robertsky (talk) 02:18, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Those are trivial things IMO and I think even if this article survives this AfD, it is rather problematically worded (the "M" word). Kingoflettuce (talk) 12:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep per robertsky.NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 16:22, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment And kingoflettuce, shouldn't we just rewrite it if you feel the article is not worded in the right way? there is always a solution for those who deserve their own articles and need amendments without having to delete anything. NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 16:22, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep The case was widely reported in the international media from what I recall. Kingoflettuce is also right the article needs a massive overhaul. The section on the Orchard Towers case should be purged or significantly reduced. Seloloving (talk) 02:07, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Seloloving, i want to ask, if we should transfer the orchard towers murder into another article. i admit, its quite lengthy. though not sure if got time to do so NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 05:02, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very obviously notable. Heavy coverage. Passes WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:32, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly notable due to an abundance of coverage.Jackattack1597 (talk) 11:10, 31 July 2021 (UTC)
