This article is an example of WP:BLP1E where the subject has not been notable in the years after the controversy happened. The only wiki page that is linked to this is of her father's, Wee Siew Kim, which is a notable BLP. – robertsky (talk) 06:09, 14 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To discuss credibility of sources mentioned and whether WP:BLP1E applies.
 * Merge to Wee Siew Kim: Definitely an indication of WP:BLP1E. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep In my opinion, WP:BLP1E doesn't really apply here. This is an event which was notable and is often cited as an example of elitism. I can find secondary references in academic sources, ,,, , . There are also news articles such as , , . If I am correct, the article was originally linked from Gifted Education Programme (Singapore) (in a criticism section), but seems like someone has removed the entire section. I understand the BLP implications and I wouldn't mind if the article is renamed to something like "2006 Singapore elitism controversy". However, I don't think the article should be deleted.--DreamLinker (talk) 17:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * withdraw deletion nom, in light 's recent addition of a recent reference to this incident in newspaper publication. However, I am in favour of 's proposal to renaming to "2006 Singapore elitism controversy". The nomination rationale for this AfD and the previous one is largely BLP1E, and renaming the article would address BLP1E concern to a certain extent. – robertsky (talk) 13:37, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rename : I am in favor of renaming to "2006 Singapore elitism controversy". The new title will be suited and more generic for other articles about elitism / social issues in Singapore. --Justanothersgwikieditor (talk) 01:41, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
