Article is a promotional piece and most of the references are dead links. The few that are still active are in Chinese, and it is difficult to assess the reliability. Overall, I think this article does not meet WP:MUSIC or WP:BASIC. Delta13C (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawn by nominator Withdrawing due to article subject being notable but article requiring massive overhaul. Delta13C (talk) 18:28, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - All cites can be backed up via Wayback, The article overall is fine and there's quite a few sources on Google (Under her english name [1], Under her chinese name: [2]), I've not looked at any as have no knowledge of the Chinese language and the browser-translator is beyond hopeless but I'd imagine all are fine. –Davey2010^Talk 22:22, 5 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Keep She is notable for being one of the few openly transgender Malaysians. In particular, it was her marriage to a man which made news (at least I can vouch for news headlines in Singapore/Malaysia) as it was uncommon at that time and not recognised by the government. The media has intermittently covered her over the years. See [3],[4] and [5]. The article is extremely promotional though and I will trim it. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:19, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like the lead could do with a modification. There is no mention about her marriage, which was the actual event for which she is notable. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 07:23, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. I think the overly promotional tone of the article without much in-line citations made me suspicious. I think the article needs massive overhaul. Delta13C (talk) 07:53, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I agree with that. The lead had no mention about her being transgender and the famous wedding. For a moment, I actually got confused if the article was about the same "Jessie Chung". Then I scrolled down and finally found the part about the wedding at the end. The article needs a major overhaul. I will try doing it soon. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 13:00, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as above. --Ipigott (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
