Apart from the Straits Times RS, there was online RS coverage found. The Straits Times referenced in the article seems to talking only displacement of the temple. Wikipedia is not news. Could not trace any RS only about Jin Long Si Temple as a notable building/temple/organization. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 14:14, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

:I've left a message on the [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/singaporeheritage Singapore Heritage Yahoo! Group] website asking if anyone is aware of reliable third-party sources about the temple. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 15:21, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

:As a result of my request for information, I've been informed that a book has been written about the temple: {{citation|author=Kevin Tan|title=The Temple and the Tree: Singapore's Jin Long Si|location=Singapore|publisher=Jin Long Si Temple|year=2007|isbn=9789810575168}}. There is a copy of it at the National Library of Singapore but it is only available for reference viewing (i.e., it can't be borrowed out of the library). I have not had a chance to view it at the Library yet. In any case, the existence of the book may indicate that the temple is notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article about it. — Cheers, JackLee ^–talk– 08:33, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Merge and redirect to Eng Foong Ho v. Attorney-General, which is clearly notable. Stuartyeates (talk) 22:41, 5 October 2012 (UTC)
Keep per the book mentioned by Jacklee and suspicion that the nominator did not attempt to find reliable Chinese-language sources. Hint: search Newspapers.SG for "金龙寺". --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 09:48, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
