BLP may not pass WP:GNG. seems to be a typical public service job progression. unable to find anything of note in terms of his contribution as a leader among the refs. also noted that this make use of LinkedIn and Wikipedia as ref as well. awards are commonly awarded awards for public service/public servants of significantly long public service career and have arisen to leadership positions. – robertsky ( talk) 02:44, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Seems to have been turned into a CV but he was chief executive of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore. We normally keep chief execs. Philafrenzy ( talk) 09:02, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep per Philafrenzy, I believe that he is notable enough to keep this page. Although I do realise that a large portion of the article is of less notability and does not need to be described in detail. As such, I suggest to keep the article and propose the following changes:
- Summarise his career in the civil service in a paragraph or two (adding on to first sentence in Civil Service section):
- For earlier service (before MPA): Only name the ministries in which he served in.
- For later, more senior positions (after MPA): Include the position and organisation, with no need for further elaboration (such as the ministers and possibly the time period)
- More significant time periods such as of total period in civl service or in senior civil service
- As his time as chief exec of MPA is more notable and publicised, with more refs (such as at https://www.mpa.gov.sg/ and other news), there can be more elaboration on his contributions at MPA in a separate section
- I believe there is potential for future expansion on his contributions during his time as CEO of SBF starting next year, which will be a more notable position
- References can also be cleaned up to remove refs such as LinkedIn and Wikipedia
- I will be drafting some of these changes in my own user subpage at User:Eliyr/Lam_Yi_Young_Proposed_Changes
- Summarise his career in the civil service in a paragraph or two (adding on to first sentence in Civil Service section):
- Follow up: My proposed changes would also involve removing all previous board positions as it is largely unnotable and unnecessary - Eliyr ( talk) 14:20, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
- Update: I've made most of my proposed changes other than the new section on his contributions at MPA which is still being worked on in my user subpage. The article should now have less unnecessary/unnotable info and poor references. - Eliyr ( talk) 15:06, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep, for the reasons of those who want this article kept. Davidgoodheart ( talk) 23:00, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
