 * – ( View AfD View log )

Yet another in a series of tragic stories, but no lasting effects, delete as per WP:NOTNEWS.  Onel 5969  TT me 16:06, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 * I looked over this article again--there's too much detail, obviously, and it's not surprise that there's a lot of newspaper articles that help detail the crime and the trial, but the big thing in terms of notability should be whether it had any lasting effect, on legislation for instance--I see no evidence of that. So unfortunately, I have to go with delete, per nom (so to speak), expressing my regrets to the creator. Drmies (talk) 16:36, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. While this article is well-developed, I agree with the application of WP:NOTNEWS. It also does not appear that this event has garnered much attention outside of Singapore. I don't think this will pass the WP:10YT. KidAd   talk  17:18, 22 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment So do the cases in USA, User:KidAd. There are some crimes and murders in USA that occurred and gained public attention but with less to none from the countries outside USA; some were unheard of overseas. I do not agree with you when you say this similar reason as the reason for deletion, because it would mean that those US murder cases that did not make big news outside USA are supposed to be deleted as well if this is what you want to put it.NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 03.41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This story made the headlines back in 2006. Was a story about a young child who was murdered by a drug addict. Just look at the many crime articles created about Singapore. Don't think that fits the criteria for deletion as it was a really notable crime case. TheGreatSG&#39;rean (talk) 17:41, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep The story was considered as one of the notable crimes Singapore has witnessed since its independence, and it made headlines back then in 2006 and the subsequent years (the Straits times newspaper also acknowledges it in their 2015 book Guilty as Charged: 25 Crimes that Have Shaken Singapore Since 1965, even 9 years after the crime was committed.). The other later cases involving child abuse resulting in death had cited the Nonoi case among the cases they referred to, which showed that there are still people in Singapore remembering the case due to its notablity and seriousness and comparability to these abuse cases. As what it is cited in the article, people still mention it in 2020 when discussing Singapore's notable crimes in Reddit. So I would argue that it would not fit the criteria for deletion NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 03.41, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:SIGCOV - the article certainly needs editing, but from what I can see is a notable crime, reported over several months, and the subject of a book almost a decade later. Bearian (talk) 21:08, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep WP keeps articles about high-profile persons and cases, irrespective of how generic or common they were and how lasting were their consequences. Nonetheless, as per WP:SIGCOV, this particular case received widespread coverage and attention. I'd argue it can be used by readers to better understand the reasons for capital punishment and Singaporean judicial and penal systems, should they want to learn more about these.

 * Keep - Still getting covered in news 14 years later. Has definitely had a lasting impact. Foxnpichu (talk) 20:20, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
