Draft:Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Comment: Well done on creating the draft, and it may potentially meet the relevant requirements (including WP:GNG, WP:EVENTCRIT) but presently it is not clear that it does.
    As other reviewers have noted, Wikipedia's basic requirement for entry is that the subject is notable. Essentially subjects are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. To properly create such a draft page, please see the articles ‘Your First Article’, ‘Referencing for Beginners’ and ‘Easier Referencing for Beginners’.
    Please note that many of the references are not from sources that are considered reliable and should be removed (including blogs, company websites, Twitter, YouTube).
    Additionally, the draft tends to read too much like a promotional website, rather than an encyclopedic entry: WP:PROMO.
    The draft does not appear to show that the competition has any notability beyond the average coverage in trade publications for similar competitions (see WP:ROTM).
    Also, if you have any connection to the subject, including being paid, you have a conflict of interest that you must declare on your Talk page (to see instructions on how to do this please click the link).
    Please familiarise yourself with these pages before amending the draft. If you feel you can meet these requirements, then please make the necessary amendments before resubmitting the page. It would help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject.
    It would also be helpful if you could please identify with specificity, exactly which criteria you believe the page meets (eg "I think the page now meets WP:EVENTCRIT criteria #3, because XXXXX").
    You may also wish to leave a note for me on my talk page and I would be happy to reassess. Cabrils (talk) 02:20, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: This reads like something the organisers of the event would publish themselves. Wikipedia articles need to rely on independent reliable sources, and present information from a neutral, objective point of view. You should also decide whether you want to write an article about the Competition or the competition's 2023 edition. Usedtobecool ☎️ 08:22, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

The Lee Kuan Yew Global Business Plan Competition (LKYGBPC), established in 2001.[1][2][3], is a biennial university startup challenge organized by the Singapore Management University (SMU). The competition is open to students or recent alumni from any university.

Notable past winners include Beijing Based Biomaterials startup Bluepha, which raised a total of US$277M ; Evisort, a law tech startup that raised over US$100M[4], Iterative Health which offers machine learning and computer vision to interpret endoscopic images and solutions for clinical trial optimization and AI documentation. The company has to-date raised US$195 million in funding[5] to date.

The most recent edition of LKYGBPC has been mentioned by Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat for its role in attracting deep tech startups to Singapore[6][7]. One such startup is PlasticFri from Sweden, the winner of the 11th LKYGBPC. PlasticFri is currently in discussions with NTUC Fairprice to pilot their products in Singapore.[8] The global funding winter contributed to rising popularity of the competition in Asia.[9]
