The subject of this biography is not notable. The one secondary source cited, a one-line mention in The Straits Times, is trivial coverage. A BEFORE search for the searches "Elaine Wan Chan", "Elaine Chan Singapore", and "Elaine Chan music" (the search term "Elaine Chan" had too much noise and didn't reveal anything) revealed only one additional source, which turns out to be a primary source interview in Tatler Singapore. There is no other coverage. With no independent reliable secondary sources and no qualifying criteria under WP:NMUSIC, the subject is not notable. Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 03:04, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Noting that there was a previous AfD Articles for deletion/Elaine Wan Chan in 2005 with no consensus. I think it's clear that discussion was completely unfounded in policy. Best, Kevin ( aka L235 · t · c) 03:14, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet notability standards. Not enough reliable 3rd party sourcing to show notability. For what it is worth it was not really until 2006 that Wikipedia created notability standards, in 2005 this was the wild west where people thought we could create articles on everyone who ever commercially made theatrical/musical productions. We have since realized this would make lots of hyper local directors and producers lacking any reliable sourced coverage notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:41, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
