Fails WP:GNG and WP:NCORP. References on page are by the founders of hackerspace. Google search yields 0 news articles on hackerspace apart from cursory mentions when discussing innovation, startups, co-working in Singapore. No articles that address/criticise/talk directly about this. Dawkin Verbier (talk) 13:24, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per above comment. The organization, though being non-profit, is not notable nor has enough RS per NCORP. --Morpho achilles (talk) 16:01, 14 November 2022 (UTC) (sock strike Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:20, 21 November 2022 (UTC)) [reply]
• Keep (note COI). I have added additional sources from The Straits Times and The Business Times, among others, about HackerspaceSG's notability within Singapore's co-working and entrepreneurship communities, and which might hopefully also help with WP:RS. I believe this article should instead be cleaned up. --ValentineC (talk) 04:40, 19 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment I don't have an opinion on this article yet, but the sources that are used should be linked to the newspaper articles to evaluate them. This is not a true requirement for Wikipedia, but kind of essential during a deletion discussion. To the author of this article: if this article does not survive this article, I would recommend putting the information on https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/HackerspaceSG. That is more suitable than Wikipedia, which has a strong requirement for secondary sources. PhotographyEdits (talk) 11:44, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep As ValentineC stated, cleanup is more appropriate. ADifferentMan (talk) 11:46, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
