Lack of Notability, for a biography of a living person. As said before WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR and was re-created after having been deleted previously with no significant changes Zubin12 (talk) 14:08, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete A ref-bombed article on an 18-year old author who apparently has 8 mental disorders. I'm not checking all 95(!) references (including Facebook, Youtube, etc), if somebody feels there's any plausible importance please list at most 4 that you think demonstrate notability. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 02:47, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

Disagree on notability. Article appears similar in notability to Aaron Lee, Joshua Ip, Rain Chudori, Cyril Wong. See awards from CINE Golden Eagle Awards, Jane Goodall Institute, My Rode Reel Film Festival; publications by Cicada Magazine, Cosmonauts Avenue, Wildness; press references from The Straits Times, India-West, Wattpad; record holder with relation to a notable literary prize ("She is primarily known as the youngest Singaporean ever to be nominated for the Pushcart Prize and is a two-time nominee"); notability of "Half Mystic" section ("Half Mystic's staff, readers, contributors, and authors have been published and profiled in Best of the Net, Best American Poetry, Best New Poets, The Paris Review, Rolling Stone, NPR, The Huffington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and The New York Times, and are Pushcart Prize, MTV Video Music Awards, and Grammy nominees"); recognition for books ("poems for the sound of the sky before thunder debuted at the 2017 Singapore Writers Festival, while Heaven or This has been read by over 30,000 people"). All sources appear legitimate at least for those instances.

Article has unnecessary information which should be culled - mental disorder information, full list of publications and awards, etc. That the author is 18 years old and has mental disorders is irrelevant to this discussion. Not a reason to keep or delete the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lillian Paterson (talk • contribs) 06:57, 22 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep In agreement with Lillian Paterson. All the references are excessive but the ones I checked were for real. Also Googled the author and found a wealth of legitimate articles on her work, in addition to her record holder status for a notable writing award and recognition by Singapore Writers Festival of her last book. This person has the notability to be on Wiki but the page needs to be trimmed down. Sweetmachine 12:00, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
