General Oi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

possible hoax, possibly simply not covered by reliable sources; I find no decent sourcing searching for either General Oi or Oi of Goguryeo, although I appreciate that may be a language issue.

 * Delete or merge to Yuri of Goguryeo if that's the same thing. I did some book searches for General Oi and Goguryeo and came up empty. I only hesitate because maybe there's something in Korean... although there's almost no content here anyway. If someone can make the link between the Yuri page and this one, I say merge, otherwise D.

 * Keep and perhaps redirect to Goguryeo if the article can't be expanded. The Korean Wikipedia article ko:오이 is about the cucumber, but includes a hatnote that seems to say 오이 is also the name of a person involved in the myth of the foundation of Koguryo. This isn't a hoax, but it needs attention from someone fluent in Korean. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 08:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there any chance the Korean article includes sources? I'm not finding any in English language books, pages, etc. Ironholds (talk) 11:39, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * No, not on that subject. The creation myths are sort of a specialized section of korean history, and I doubt we'll be able to find anything in english. THe subject does exist, but that's all I've been able to deduce. I could ask a couple friends of mine who might know, but I would imagine most sources would be in print, and not in the US, and I don't have the korean skill level to really find obscure refs.

 * Keep There are sources about him, though none of them are in English. He is certainly notable enough for inclusion and is apparently mentioned in the History of the Three Kingdoms from the citation on the page. I'd actually have to make a trip to the local library (here in Korea) and go digging around in the history section to find a couple of good sources. Would the encyclopedia article on Naver (here)be a sufficient interim source? Waygugin (talk) 11:38, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
