This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Singapore. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
Edit this page and add ((Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName)) to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding ((subst:delsort|Singapore|~~~~)) to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Singapore.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Not only does this article currently serve as little more than free advertising for HOG, but also the sourcing is really threadbare (90% self-published/promotional sources) and I could find nothing to show that this organisation meets GNG. KINGofLETTUCE 👑🥬 10:00, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
While I don't quite think the text meets the criteria of a G11 like Joseywales1961, I do believe it is in no way suitable for retention in mainspace. Perhaps I should have nominated it immediately instead of draftifying. In any case, that's now moot due to the cut & paste move back. I cannot find any sources meeting WP:ORGDEPTH or WP:ORGIND.

Delete: I would say that this new article is borderline G11 (The one I CSD'd was by another different editor, something strange with different people suddenly wanting this particular firms article published) Josey WalesParley 18:04, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not meet WP:ORGIND, looks like an advertisement. Dcotos (talk) 08:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:GNG. Plenty of sources, subject compliant with other policies. --cyclopiaspeak! 14:19, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This is a textbook example of a lack of continued coverage. It is, however, terrifying that such a well-sourced article could be deleted based on that. The rules say delete but I can't bring myself to !vote for it. Closer may interpret this how they wish :) Toadspike (talk) 09:30, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I could not find anything written after the day of the event. I added more citations to improve it. Procidic (talk) 15:27, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, minor incident that fails WP:EVENTCRIT and WP:CONTINUEDCOVERAGE per previous responses. As with similar minor incidents, it can be adequately summarized in the article about where the airport where it took place. Carguychris (talk) 22:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fails WP:GNG and notability guidelines for organizations; the only source in the article is a primary source connected to the organization. Additionally, I don't think this is in-depth coverage we're looking to estabilsh notability! ~ TailsWx (🐾, me!) 02:36, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep on the strength of added references. Patronage by the country's president is an argument in favour of notability as an important part of youth culture in Singapore. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:08, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:TOOSOON. It's still too early for this article to exist. Created by the same user who created Vietnam at the 2026 Asian Games which I also nominated for deletion. CycloneYoristalk! 00:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Struck above after remembering the 6 month rule for draftspace. Delete.S5A-0043Talk 14:14, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete way WP:TOOSOON. In 6 months time, it will still be too soon, and so I object to draftifying this as draftspace is not an indefinite holding area. Joseph2302 (talk) 09:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree strongly. It is very reasonable to have some level of information about a country's participation in international competition two years ahead of time. Therefore, drafspace would be the exact opposite of an indefinite holding area If this proves not to be the case, the draft can easily be deleted in October 2024. FrankAnchor 15:25, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
For most events like this, the qualifying tournaments will be at most a year before the event i.e. in 2025. Unless there is evidence that there are 2026 Asian Games qualifiers this year, and so we'll know some qualified Singaporean competitors in 6 months time, then draftspace is not needed. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:32, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Utterly non-encyclopedic. The current entry contains nothing of value. The desire to create articles way ahead of time needs to be stamped out. It's an unhealthy "I was here first" culture which does not add value to Wikipedia. Geschichte (talk) 08:43, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from nominator: I strongly oppose draftifying, since it will still be TOOSOON in 6 months time, as Joseph2302 states. Deletion is definitely preferrable. CycloneYoristalk! 21:18, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Relisting, opinion divided between editors advocating Draftification and those arguing for Deletion. This might come down to No consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, LizRead!Talk! 00:46, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I contend that "Draftify per TOOSOON" does not hold water in that it will still be too soon for 12–15 more months. There is nothing worth retaining in that the article contains no information other than a circular definition of the article title: "Singapore at the 2026 Asian Games means that Singapore will compete at the 2026 Asian Games".

Draftify, as a preferable WP:ATD. If there isn't information added to the article in 6 months time, it can easily and with little effort be deleted. Esolo5002 (talk) 02:14, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draftifying would be completely pointless, since there isn't any valuable content to preserve. Better to delete now than later. CycloneYoristalk! 03:59, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is a case of WP:TOOSOON and this will also be the case in the near future, so no need for draftification. Let'srun (talk) 02:57, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
delete for Pete's sake. It's a one sentence article which will outdated if they do compete, and false if they don't. There is nothing here to save for a draft, unless you think it's too much trouble to recreate an infobox. It isn't. Mangoe (talk) 03:29, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. All the available coverage falls well within WP:ORGTRIV. I was not able to find anything more substantial. Alpha3031 (t • c) 07:55, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Juest wanted to note, I'm alright with redirect, though I'm not so sure the other company is notable either. Don't really think there's anything to merge. Alpha3031 (t • c) 14:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect into Kennedys Law into which Gates was dissolved. Why wasn't this suggested upfront? gidonb (talk) 13:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Kennedys Law: Trivia PR coverage doesn't meet WP:NCORP, appropriate to merge to parent company even though sources in Kennedys Law aren't really independent Robertjamal12~🔔 09:29, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this article there are many articles about it being purchased by Kennedys and its cases prior to the purchase [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Also covered in multiple legal books including the European Legal 500 until its merger and Chambers UK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sfloving (talk • contribs) 12:20, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Kennedys Law, also agree, don't think the sourcing for the redirect target meets NCORP either but that isn't the topic at AfD. HighKing++ 12:50, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
