Businesswoman who doesn't appear to me to be sufficiently notable for inclusion. It seems that her husband Phua Kok Khoo is the main driver behind the couple's business activities. The creator seems to have created a lot of articles pertaining to University of Birmingham people, most of which seem to make the grade of notability, but this one i'm not convinced about. Seems more like padding. Uhooep (talk) 11:17, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Like I said in the last AfD, she is the director and cofounder of World Scientific Publishing, which is one of the largest publishing groups in Asia. If the sources say she is the cofounder, then we have to agree that she the "cofounder," which doesn't mean automatically that her husband is the main driver behind the business! Please show me sources that say Phua is the main driver so I can understand where you're coming from, Uhooep. Thanks! Megalibrarygirl (talk) 23:36, 7 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy Keep What does "It seems to me?" have to do with anything? Disparaging the creator, ignoring that you are required to AGF the creation intent was genuine, calls into question why the file was even nominated. Clearly WP:BEFORE wasn't done by nominator. "She" is listed as a co-founder, i.e. equally important as any other founder. [1]. "She" is solely listed as the managing director, (not a co-manager) and "she" is solely listed as the Woman Entrepreneur of The Year 2010. [2] Her husband is the "chairman and editor-in-chief" and she is the managing director and chief financial officer. [3] "She takes care of the company finances, administration and production schedules." Clearly she is a driving force in the business. Opinions don't matter, documentation does.
