WP:NOTNEWS; also does not seem to satisfy WP:LASTING Kingoflettuce (talk) 12:56, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * redirect to List of major crimes in Singapore (before 2000), where there is already a summary of the case. The article in summary is describing a crime of passion, wife engages third parties to commit murder of adulterous husband. No doubt sensational for Singapore, but I am unable to determine if there is any lasting effect after the crime was committed, or sentencing even after searching for news after the case. – robertsky (talk) 03:05, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect per robertsky. The case appears to have no lasting effects. Seloloving (talk) 02:03, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very obviously notable. Heavy coverage. Passes WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:31, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Necrothesp. Inexpiable (talk) 19:36, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Robertsky. Merely having some news coverage isn't enough for things like crimes; they also need to pass WP:NOTNEWS, and this does not. Mlb96 (talk) 05:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above. Definitely a notable event, as evidenced by the extensive news coverage, but lack of WP:LASTING effect leads me to think this doesn't need a standalone article. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 12:50, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Per WP:GNG. Great coverage. Good sourcing. BabbaQ (talk) 08:33, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Robertsky and LASTING. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:10, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep due to great coverage and good sourcing --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 12:57, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Satisfies WP:SIGCOV, as shown by the numerous sources. I'm not worried at all about WP:LASTING, because there is coverage here throughout the whole trial (which was longer than the average news cycle-- mentioned in WP:LASTING), as well as the fact that True Files covered the case in one of their episodes. Since this episode aired in 2003 and the murder was in 1984, I'm pretty certain this is lasting coverage. Helen (💬📖) 22:56, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and the case has received significant coverage over a span of years. Surachit (talk) 23:47, 14 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. After a significant expansion of the article - worth a WP:GNG admission.--Filmomusico (talk) 22:59, 19 August 2021 (UTC)
