KH KIm
Hello- Have you actually read the entry of Kyung Hee Kim? It is an absolute disgrace to what Wikipedia entries are supposed to be about. There is not a single credible verifiable 3rd party source to the graphic personal diatribe in the entry. A small search also reveals the article is self-authored by the person. When is being a Professor considered to meet a notability criteria? I think A11 applies and this article should be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by HangulRover (talk • contribs) 13:33, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi. The article is nominated under criterion A7, not A11, but neither apply to this article. Both critera require that the article does not contain any credible assertion of importance or significance. Importantly, this is a lower standard than notability. The article claims that the professor has won awards, been featured on the cover of a large magazine, sparked a nationwide debate and is the editor of a number of journals. These claims are sufficient to be a credible claim of importance, and the article therefore does not meet the A7 or A11 criteria for speedy deletion. If you still believe the article should be deleted, you should consider WP:AfD, which you have already started. Please do not replace the CSD tag. Thanks, A le_Jrb talk  13:51, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
 * If you think that parts of the article are vandalism, however, you can remove those parts without the article being deleted. A le_Jrb talk  13:56, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
