Only supporting source is dead and was a fake. There is no Ministry of Culture in Singapore. Article written like a curriculum vitae. Information unverifiable and article is insignificant Reiuji (talk) 16:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment - I have blanked the article content due to copyright concerns as all versions of the article appear to be a substantial copy of the subject's bio on his web site. -- Whpq (talk) 17:34, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, at least in stub copyright-compliant form per . Phil Bridger (talk) 21:23, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

 Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 06:24, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have started a non-copyvio version of the article at Talk:Felix Cheong/Temp which can be used in place of the current copyvio pending administrator review. A big thanks to Phil for the sources. -- Whpq (talk) 21:49, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Comment from relisting admin. Okay so here's what I did which is hopefully kosher. The previous version of the article and apparently all of its history was a copyvio so I speedy deleted it. But Whpq started a non-copyvio version at Talk:Felix Cheong/Temp. I simply moved this page to Felix Cheong. The article looks different now, but the nominator might still feel it warrants deletion. Anyway discussion should be restarted based on the new version. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 06:27, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep I'm skeptical of the barrage of sources from AsiaOne -- the site's About Us section seems to suggest that it might not be reliable -- but taken in concert with the other sourcing, I think this topic barely passes notability muster. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  09:39, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - Its not clear what it is that makes you think it is unreliable. AsiaOne is a property of Singapore Press Holdings.  It appears that the site is designed as a portal site with news as one aspect along with lifestyle stuff, but there's no reason to believe that there isn't editorial oversight. -- Whpq (talk) 14:58, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
