While she is a published author, I can find nothing to support a claim that she passes either WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR. If someone with skill in Chinese can validate sources, be happy to withdraw the nomination. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 13:55, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• personal opinion - this awards can be given to any singapore author whose books are in bookstore

As per WP:AUTHOR

• The person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors.
• No
• The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory, or technique.
• No
• The person has created or played a major role in co-creating a significant or well-known work or collective body of work. In addition, such work must have been the primary subject of an independent and notable work (for example, a book, film, or television series, but usually not a single episode of a television series) or of multiple independent periodical articles or reviews.
• No, the award is insignificant
• The person's work (or works) either (a) has become a significant monument, (b) has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition, (c) has won significant critical attention, or (d) is represented within the permanent collections of several notable galleries or museums.
• Yes, for the publicationSG + all the works are in the Lee Kong Chian Reference Library - https://www.nlb.gov.sg/About/LeeKongChianReferenceLibrary.aspx, I will say it meet

Since WP:AUTHOR met, i don't have to go into WP:GNG where it will meet as reliable secondary sources cited it which make it notable. (I use WP:RS as a guide but focuses on Singapore consensus created list of reliable source ([1], which the few sources is clearly reliable)

Therefore, Keep --Quek157 (talk) 20:22, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Further recommendations - label as stub class and then some non related author can take it further. I will support a keep is based on the fact IMO meet both author / gng. but should the COI involved editor make it more advert like, we may need to block the user (no COI declaration) or rather just delete based on advert (CSD). The article needs major rewrite. And maybe chinese wiki may be more suitable but this is still notable here --Quek157 (talk) 20:34, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
