Delete this has BLP1E written all over it. Besides, good scores on a Malaysian high-school test probably wouldn't even make the Guinness book, and certainly not a general-interest encyclopedia.

Delete The sources adduced do not demonstrate sufficient notability to suggest this is not a BLP1E case. As such it should go.

Notability of the subject is not in issue; the issue is whether the individual has received non-trivial coverage independent of the event, or whether the article should be moved and re-written to focus on the event. In neither case is deletion is an option consistent with our policies. Regards,

Delete Recreation of a deleted page. This is a
WP:BIO vanity article. Many students may receive offers to study at Edinburgh University but that doesn't establish notability for them.

Comment Recreation of a deleted page and vanity are
WP:PROBLEMS irrelevant to the notability of the subject. No-one is claiming that she is notable due to being offered to study at a university; she is notable because of the multiple instances - before and after her initial 17 A1 achievement - of non-trivial coverage. Could you please address your arguments to why this coverage is insufficient to establishing notability? Thanks,

Keep - There are certainly multiple reliable sources writing about her, so the key issue for notability is whether she is notable only for a single event. Note that the
WP:BLP1E guidelines state Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but essentially remains a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them. There is no larger subject here. She is the event. And furthermore, a review of the dates on the news articles are spread from 2005 through 2007 indicating sustained coverage that certainly rises above a one shot news item. Any other issues with the article can be dealth with through editting and are not grounds for deletion. --
