  • keep or hopefully, someone out there would remember the guy and write more about him. He is referenced a few times already on wikipedia though, and I'm not altogether qualified to be able to slot this guy in the right area of wikipedia - thats why I made the article a stub. Maybe someone will be able to reference ARIA charts and pick up the controversial pieces off the net on the words to that song - thoughts? --Rdpaperclip 03:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC) T3Smile (talk • contribs • logs) and Rdpaperclip (talk • contribs • logs) - Blocked as sockpuppets.

  • Delete as nonnotable. I found about 350 low-quality google hits - nothing to serve as reliable sources about him. Shalom Hello 04:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Nearly all of those aren't this Siew Ooi. I found an Intel employee and a Boon-Siew Ooi who is a university professor, for example. After digging deeper, I was able to find a handful of hits: [1] [2] —Travistalk 13:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable producer for a one-hit wonder's 12-year-old song. Corvus cornix 04:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • weak keep, if considered a keep it may have to be categorised somewhere...Corvus, would an article about "One Hit Wonders" and then categorise those hits to countries be a good idea? I think your take on the 12-year-old song is funny. I hated the song :) I could start up the article but would need a lot of help from lots of people. I know where I can get the List of Australian one hit wonders though. Then perhaps, we could mention this guy in there?--T3Smile 16:05, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Update - found one hit wonders but only reference was the 20 to 1 TV show that lists "one hit wonders" of the world according to a commercial poll, not according to the ARIA charts. I think I found an opportunity to add some verifiable info on Australian one hit wonders, maybe after my thesis work on computer pioneers. Where is Glenn A. Baker when you need him?--T3Smile 16:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC) T3Smile (talk • contribs • logs) and Rdpaperclip (talk • contribs • logs) - Blocked as sockpuppets.

  • Delete Notability cannot be established, and the author has not provided references. I am not necessarily stating that he is not notable. With proper referencing this could perhaps be established, but as others have stated there are no reliable third party sources. (Mind meal 22:26, 25 July 2007 (UTC))
