WP:NOTNEWS; WP:LASTING does not seem to have been met either. (Also, not a ground for deletion, but title is awkward) Kingoflettuce (talk) 13:02, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep, i feel that we should be keep it, in due respect to those who disagree. i feel that this is a notorious crime, and has significant coverage and a sort of legacy behind it. besides, should it be that all murder cases has to have lasting effects in order to remain in wikipedia, it would be the case where even the Toa Payoh ritual murders and Murder of Huang Na do not deserve its own article.

 * WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, among other things. Kingoflettuce (talk) 12:43, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * And i want to highlight, many people still remember it today for the notoreity and it was unusual to see someone using minors to kill people in Singapore. This case was also ranked as one of the most notorious crimes people would remember, where the national newspaper still acknowledge it in the publication of its book Guilty as Charged. The title, i acknowledge, seems awkward but can change. NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 13:20, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG and WP:NCRIME as demonstrated by the fact that the case has been covered extensively by various national Singaporean news outlets, TV series, and books over a span of about 20 years. Surachit (talk) 23:46, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep. Per Surachit. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:33, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep one of the biggest killing stories of the 2000 decade. Even more notable that the death of the sales lady while a customer was taking a test drive of a Mazda car around 2006. Charliestalnaker (talk) 19:18, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Very obviously notable. Passes WP:GNG. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:27, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
