This article covers a topic which is too narrow in scope. It is the work of a the NUS Scholars Programme, and while more than adequately referenced (actually a very good example of proper referencing), it still is a subject that is too esoteric and not notable enough to merit its own article. It reads more like a research paper, which is likely what it is. Realkyhick 20:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry, system crashed in the process. My bad. Realkyhick 20:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep - space is at a premium in Singapore, so cremation as means for dealing with those who have passed away is significant. The article is well referenced, and well written. It may need a bit of copyeditting to make read less like a school research project, but that isn't a reason for deletion. -- Whpq 21:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. Given that most of these young people's articles will be deleted, I am inclined to allow this one. The scope is very narrow, but Wikipedia is not paper and it seems a valid hictorical subject. "Space is at a premium" - mention that in the article! -- RHaworth 21:07, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
Mergeinto death in Singapore. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-19 21:25Z- Change to keep as sub-article to prevent seriously over-balancing the parent article. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-21 02:36Z
- Comment: Didn't even know there was a death in Singapore article. I could easily see this article merged into that one, though it would probably have to be shortened. Realkyhick 22:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
- Merge into "Death in Singapore". That's clearly the best solution. Cheers, Jacklee 03:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Merge per above, though I feel bad for the person who attempts this. I'll try to help. nadav 03:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)- Keep On second thought, there is nothing wrong with making this a subarticle of Death in Singapore. Wikipedia is not paper, and there is a lot of new material here. It is one of the only acceptable USP articles, though it does need cleanup. nadav 03:47, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, Move to Cremation in Singapore. Notable topic. It doesn't fit well into Death in Singapore which should focus on demographics and causes of death.--Vsion 06:19, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- Well half of the article says you're wrong. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-20 10:22Z
