Talk:Denise Phua

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The result of the proposal was -- Based on this conversation Use the most easily recognized name and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese)#Order of names -- was to move the article to  Denise Phua. When more than one Denise Phua notable person is listed here then the page can be moved to Denise Phua Lay Peng. --Philip Baird Shearer (talk) 14:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There is actually no "naming convention" on this one, and unless that name is a well-established one (such as Jack Neo), we spell them in full to ensure we don't have to disambiguate them in future.--Huaiwei (talk) 15:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I don't disagree with most of what you say but, since the subject's own biosketch at her parliamentary webpage and website of the Autism Resource Centre (of which she is president) both use a particular name, I prefer a move to Denise Phua Lay Peng over a choice based on Google hits and personal speculation.  On the other hand, Denise Phua is better than the current title. —  AjaxSmack  02:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Well, to me, Denise Phua is just more clear than... Phua Lay Peng Denise. Why not move the article so that other Wikipedians can get to know what they want to know better.Ruennsheng (Talk)  07:27, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: On references

message: At the peer review, Delldot said: "I can see how with an obscure person it'd be tempting to include whatever info you can get but I think it's also important to keep the article focused and to exclude uninformative material." Indeed, the Personal life section currently contains all I could find out about her personal life. I think the section should be removed, due to lack of encyclopediac information and potential BLP issues. However, Giggy disagrees, and there was a recent discussion on WT:GAN about whether biographies without Personal life sections do not meet the "broadness" section of the GA criteria.--J.L.W.S.

thread_title: Should the Personal life section be removed?

message: If I notice other disputes, I will add them here, but I hope there are no more and that these two disputes can be quickly resolved. --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 14:58, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Others

message: Since the article will go on GAN tomorrow, both discussions shall be closed. The consensus:
*The article should not have a Personal life section. Relevant information in the Personal life section chould go into other sections. However, I do not see how any of the information in the Personal life section could be smoothly integrated into other sections - and hardly any of the information there seems relevant anyway. Hence I simply removed the section.
*Per Jacklee and Gwinva, serial commas are fine and collective nouns can be singular or plural, but in the context they are used in the article, should be singular. I discounted the comments of others, who misunderstood the issue.

text: -) The photo doesn't have to be used in its entirety. If licensed under an appropriate Creative Commons licence, it can be cropped to show just Phua's head and shoulders. See, for instance, "Feng Tianwei". — Cheers, JackLee –talk–</span> 12:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

text: I posted a comment on flickr asking if the photographer would re-license it, someone should keep an eye on that page. Giggy (talk) 11:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Category

message: *The article is very short because there is very little referenced information available about Phua (or most Singapore-related topics, for that matter).
*According to the GA criteria, "[the] presence of images is not, in itself, a requirement for good articles". The article used to have a photo of her, but the anti-fair use brigade deleted it, so I am not to blame for the lack of photos.
*An infobox seems pointless, as there is no photo and limited information about her. The GA criteria do not require infoboxes either.
*Above, there is a discussion with consensus that the article should not have a Personal life section, due to the lack of relevant information and BLP concerns.
*Since Phua is Singaporean and Singapore, as a former British colony, uses primarily British English, the article should be written in British English.
