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.

Hi all,
I am a journalist in Goa, India and a contributor to the Wikipedia. Among other things, my interest is in ICT4D (information and communication technologies for development), and have written quite a bit on the subject.
Recently, I find some entries which I initiated coming in for 'speedy deletion', which is kind of discouraging. Take the example below, of a South African group whose work I know, and certainly deserves a Wikipedia entry.
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:_LQK2Uo3l5AJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungan...
Could I request a closer check before deleting entries, specially deserving ones (which may require a few more details and inputs, but surely not, in my view, deletion!)
