List of Malaysian architects

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A list of mainly red links. Just one of the architects has his own article. The Banner talk 23:47, 16 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. It has substantial content:  list of architects and many of their works.  Redlinks are fine; redlinks help wikipedia grow. -- do  ncr  am  04:59, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Weak keep Some of the architects appear notable: Hubback is in the ODNB; Berthel Michael Iversen and AC Norman get some hits in books and Malaysian press; PH Keyes was a fellow of RIBA; and creating a notable building may meet WP:CREATIVE. I'm sure research in non-English language sources will provide further information. My only concern is that membership criteria need specifying: many of these architects have worked in Malaysia but are not Malaysian. --Colapeninsula (talk)

 * Keep - This is a relatively acceptable list, since there are people in the list that are notable (we do have a List of American architects right? That's WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS I know, but I meant they operate under the same principle). Still, more of the redlinks could have articles. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 10:47, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, this is one of many lists in Category:Lists of architects by nationality, a category that was not included in the article when nominated for AFD, but added by me later. I think this AFD is headed for "Keep" and that it could be closed that way already.  The only issues mentioned are suitable for discussion at its Talk page, i.e. what should the inclusion criteria be, and how to treat English-born architects who worked in Malaysia, etc. -- do  ncr  am  14:42, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, 12 red links and just two blue links. The lack of blue links in the list was my main concern, as it looked like window dressing for the unsourced/sub-standard article about Ken Yeang in the first place... The Banner talk 15:13, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
