WP:NOTNEWS and the like. Just another run-of-the-mill instance of greed & foolishness that has little encyclopedic value but is top-shelf tabloid fodder. The way the article is currently written may be in violation of WP:BLP too. Kingoflettuce (talk) 16:22, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree that this reads like a news article, and a tabloid one at that. People aren't even convicted yet, just accused. I'm not experienced enough to be sure, but it might indeed also violate WP:BLP. --LordPeterII (talk) 18:07, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This is a run-of-the-mill crime and nobody has been convicted. LordPeterII is correct that this level of detail about the accused people and their family violates BLP policy. Cullen328 (talk) 19:03, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Nothing about news coverage suggests anything out of the ordinary with this sort of e-commerce scam. No sort of
lasting effect apparent - not helped by the fact that it's an ongoing case and no one's even received a conviction yet. ~ KN2731 {talk · contribs} 12:05, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply

Keep. I feel that we should not delete it, but just to amend and rewrite the article into a more appropriate style since there are issues about the language and writing. The coverage and magnitude of the crime seems to be more than ordinary given the huge sum of money cheated and the fugitives' decision to flee, which lasted for weeks before they got caught. --NelsonLee20042020 (talk) 04:49, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@
List_of_major_crimes_in_Singapore_(before_2000)). If you compare that to Wikipedia's coverage for other countries, we have only the most extreme crimes for France, and mostly crimes related to the Mafia for Italy. None list e.g. any of the victims of rapes, or a significant amount of "regular" crimes which don't have their own article. Please evaulate whether this really is adhering to our standards – I think these list articles might need to be condensed down immmensely, just like this article needs to be deleted. --LordPeterII (talk) 10:56, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply

Ditto the drug trafficker articles, although the consensus for those seems to be going the other way. Anyhow, Nelson is obviously very competent in researching and churning out massive articles, but I completely share LordPeter's concerns. Kingoflettuce (talk) 22:31, 13 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep 132.147.119.112 (talk) 17:14, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@IP editor can you please give a reasoning? You're not expected to vote "Keep" without giving a reasoning, afaik. --LordPeterII (talk) 20:07, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
