The result was keep. I think the additional sources are sufficient to show notability ; some editing is needed for conciseness, & I've begun it. DGG ( talk ) 05:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ad-like, bad tone, sources I found were all tangential. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 17:25, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep – There are book and journal references in the article that establish notability. Of particular significance: nuSense: An exhibition of drawings and paintings of the nude by members of Group 90. Singapore: Procomp Prinset Singapore. ISBN 981-047812-7.

- Delete Article gives references, but I'm unable to find them. With the book, nuSense: An exhibition of drawings and paintings of the nude by members of Group 90, I'm unable to find it via the ISBN number. It says it is printed by "Procomp Prinset Singapore", but the company doesn't deal with books and is a general printing company. Articles lists references by Wai Hon, but Wai Hon is a founding member of the group, so even if I was able to find them, the refs are not independent. I can find refs that say Group 90 was an informal gathering, they organized exhibitions and certain artists belonged to the group. But in the end, unable to find reliable, significant references.

- Keep The Straits Times, a leading newspaper in Singapore, provides two sources. Plus some others. The topic seems fairly substantial. BigJim707 (talk) 03:51, 13 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
