[edit]Unless there's anything more to say about her, it's unclear why a simple redirect doesn't do the job. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:44, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Again, unless there's reason to suppose that she's notable, and that there's anything more to be said than that she's the wife of someone famous, then a redirect is the best option. The article was created by a vandal; no-one else thought that it was a suitable article, and the current state of it suggests that there's a reason for that. If you're willing to do the work to make it more than a redirect, then that would be fine — but don't just revert (without discussing it here) on the basis that you're sure that there's something more to be said.

trite paragraph
[edit]"During Lee's years as Prime Minister and Senior Minister, Kwa was frequently seen with her husband, especially on diplomatic trips and meetings with other foreign ministers."
I mean, so what? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.55.53.184 (talk) 15:47, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
She's done plenty of her own, and I've read and seen plenty of books/documentaries, etc. on her, just that I don't have the time to expand it right now. I wanted to keep it as a stub so I could probably look at it tomorrow. Furthermore, its confusing for the reader to look her up and then get redirected to Lee Kuan Yew. -- Natalinasmpf 18:56, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Well, that's what redirects are for. When you have enough material, it'll be easy to add it; you don't need a sub-sub-stub for that. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:34, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit]I have been bold, you guys have reverted, now I'm here to discuss, now please tell me which part of that sentence is not agreeable with you guys. Best. --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:06, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- According to a press release to the media—there is a citation that reflects the source, so no need to call attention to it unless it is of particular relevance.
- Mrs Lee—the rest of the article refers to her as Kwa.
- peacefully—unencyclopedic, euphemistic, trite detail (and intrinsically POV notwithstanding the source).
- in her sleep—unencyclopedic detail.
- around 5:40pm Singapore Standard Time (SST)—unencyclopedic detail. Bongomatic 16:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- FWiW, I can accept point 1 through 4 but not the last point, does somebody else got something else to add to this? --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:25, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- If you look at similar biographies of deceased people, you will find that the time of death is not usually included unless it bears great significance on the circumstances in which the death occured. However, since the subject expired very recently I am not completely against the inclusion of time. What does Bongomatic think? — Nearly Headless Nick {C} 16:34, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- I don't think it bears inclusion, but that's certainly the most minor of the complaints. Bongomatic 16:50, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Okay then, that settles it for now but just to be safe... if there's anyone else who thinks otherwise, kindly step forward now or forever hold your tongue. BRB in about 6 hours time, need to attend to the whalejet. --Dave ♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫® 16:59, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
