Dr Ong Teck Chin

This apparently is the principal of a school in Singapore. No further evidence of notability. Aecis 09:18, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete notability not established. JamesBurns 10:37, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. You don't realise do you? I'll add stuff later, I have been working on other articles, and not my school, but he's the incumbent principal of Anglo-Chinese School (Independent)...for those that don't know, this generally evokes gasps/awes among the Singaporean population, or at least on one's PSLE slip after graduating from primary school (for joy factor at least). Seeing how he's the one that's going to pioneer some radical programs, I think notability IS established. This is way too far, do you mind actually finding which schools happen to be prominent first, aka mentioned constantly in the Straits Times that is read by millions? Maybe you'd actually DO SOME RESEARCH, first? [1] [2] What's next, you're going to start deleting articles on our GRC ministers and electoral candidates just because its not documented on google? This is systemic bias at its worst, and intolerance of something that could change that, as well. Oh, something else, the school is uniquely (legally) a corporation, and he played a hand in that. -- Natalinasmpf 11:30, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Calm down, natalina. I understand that you care about this subject, otherwise you wouldn't have created this article. But accusing users of systemic bias and intolerance won't get you far. The issue is not whether the Anglo-Chinese School is notable (I believe it is). The issue is also not whether dr. Ong Teck Chin has played an important role in the history of the school (I'm sure he has). The issue is whether that makes him notable enough to be on Wikipedia. A major problem with this article is that it simply states that Dr. Ong Teck Chin is the principal of the ACS. No mention is made of all the valuable information you have posted here. Also keep in mind that three weeks have gone by since the creation of this article. In that period of time, there have been no serious edits to this article, only some minor copyediting and some stub-tagging. That's it. That of course doesn't make Dr. Ong Teck Chin non-notable, but it doesn't plead in his advantage either. This article doesn't give a shred of proof of notability. Aecis 11:59, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC) (PS. Planning to do something doesn't make someone notable, it's doing something that makes someone notable.)
  • Delete until more information is given. I have no doubt Dr Chin is notable but why have an article that just says he was appointed in 1994. This is an insult to Dr Chin and the readers of Wikipedia. It would have taken very little effort to include the above information. Did you put this sub stub on just so you could put another notch on your belt to say how many articles you had 'written'? --Porturology 11:46, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I wrote it because I didn't want a red link, not to "put a notch on my belt". Note, I boast very little on my user page, maybe counting all the articles you write is something you do. I myself isn't a student of ACS(I), I was expecting Wikipedians who go to that school (which I think there are two or three) to write up about it. I will include more information when I finish writing some other articles first. -- Natalinasmpf 12:01, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete School principal. No claim to notability given in article. Google (76 hits) reveals nothing that couldn't be said of any other school principal on the planet. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:09, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Give him a mention on Anglo-Chinese School. --Xcali 15:28, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, as per Xcali.--Nabla 16:50, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
  • Delete and mention in school article, unless article author wishes to expand article at least enough to make a plausible claim of notability for the subject. --FCYTravis

Can't you be more patient? I was inevitably going to work on it, you deletionists. And here it is, and more to come, how far does this have to go? -- Natalinasmpf 21:28, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment. What about this page? (See bottom). [3] PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THE NEW VERSION, NOT THE OLD.

  • Move to Ong Teck Chin, as having Dr. in the title is, I believe, against our naming conventions.--Scimitar 22:06, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Done. -- Natalinasmpf 22:12, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
