Economic impact of kpop throughout South Korea

It might be theoretically possible to write a real encyclopedia article about this topic, but this is not that article -- this reads more like the introduction to a first-year university essay than like a proper encyclopedia article. The blow it up and start over principle applies here, basically -- even if a good article can be written about the economic impact of K-pop on South Korea, this as written not only isn't that article, it isn't even the seed from which that article could sprout.

 * Redirect to K-pop. The list of sources may be useful for the target article. —  Newslinger  talk   22:58, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge some salvageable content to K-pop, where it is indeed talked about in appropriate detail (and could be a plausible merge target).  Nate  • ( chatter ) 01:04, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Interesting topic for an article that's not on Wikipedia. Delete. Drmies (talk) 01:06, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete It seems the main article on K-Pop already covers this. शिव साहिल/Shiv Sahil (talk) 15:19, 26 November 2018 (UTC)
 * I basically agree with everyone above so I'm tempted to say "redirect to K-pop but "Economic impact of kpop throughout South Korea" is not a useful redirect. So delete is the way to go imo, although a note could be added to Talk:K-pop listing potentially useful references from the article to be deleted. Pichpich (talk) 16:33, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - The economics of the genre are already discussed (much better) at K-pop, and the title is unlikely to be a redirect-worthy search term. The person who wrote this article could be invited via a talk page message to contribute his/her knowledge of this subtopic to the appropriate sections of the K-pop article. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 19:18, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
