[Wikipedia-l] Entries getting delete...

[J.L.W.S. The Special One]

The articles were nominated for speedy deletion because the nominator
thought they were not notable. Sadly, systemic bias influences the
nominator's judgement of notability. Articles on Singaporean topics
get nominated for deletion all the time.
