Malaysian political analyst apparently involved in two criminal trials. Do not see a case for notability beyond these trials. Flaming Ferrari ( talk) 21:05, 15 February 2014 (UTC) reply

There are 2 trials mentioned, one is the first murder trial and the other the civil trial. There is currently a corruption trial in France where he is also being called as a witness. So that's 3 trials in total. That's now notable. 138.130.68.18 ( talk) 12:29, 17 February 2014 (UTC) reply

• Comment - I won't !vote on this AfD (yet), but I don't think being involved in several criminal cases is notable in itself. You'd still need reliable coverage. Narutolovehinata5 ^{t c csd new} 10:47, 19 February 2014 (UTC) reply
• Merge any useful information into a summary of him on the article about the murder of his Mongolian mistress. He is not notable for anything not related to that murder. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:36, 20 February 2014 (UTC) reply
• Keep- I am giving my two cents as a Malaysian. Firstly, he was a one of the accused in a murder trial in Malaysia where he was acquitted for abatement over the murder of Altantuyaa. Secondly, he is now being sued by the father of the woman now in the civil trial (this has currently not started due to delays in the Malaysian legal system), in which the Malaysian government is a party to. Thirdly, his name was brought up as one of the witnesses in the investigation in the corruption of the submarine purchases in France, whereby his company Perimekar was involved a go-between between the Malaysian military and the French government. So he is not only notable for the murder, but corruption investigation. 58.168.69.11 ( talk) 10:10, 22 February 2014 (UTC) reply

• Keep - Known for crimes, but still notable because of the several different trials and corruption charges.-- BabbaQ ( talk) 17:32, 23 February 2014 (UTC) reply
