 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

High school student and budding filmmaker. Sole claim to notability is what appears to be a fairly minor award, and I don't think this is enough to meet WP:BIO. Article also has a COI issue; not too difficult to figure out who User:Ienthekorean is. PC78 (talk) 06:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete the award is entirely unnotable, if you go to the website you will see that it is a local org that gives out about 25 different awards. I also find the (un-cited) statement that he was awarded 10,000,000 dollars extremely dubious; I would assume that such an event would get at least some coverage but a search for his name and the name of the film that supposedly won him this,  returns 6 hits, none relevant. Nearly no relevant Ghits for anything else on him either. - Icewedge (talk) 07:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment actually it says he was awarded 10,000,000 Won = about 10,000 USD, somewhat more believable but less impressive. -Hunting dog (talk) 07:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete awards do seem minor, and searching doesn't throw up anything extra -Hunting dog (talk) 07:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep it I'd say winning 10,000,000 won is pretty impressive for a high school student. SCFF confirms it. Try searching for him in Korean. Milkyway2009 (talk) 14:17, 13 August 2008 (UTC) — Milkyway2009 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Can we get a source then, I tried searching again, in Korean too. Still no dice. - Icewedge (talk) 17:16, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. It would be excellent if you could post a link for the rest of us. PC78 (talk) 18:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete Seems a talented young man, but minor film awards do not add up to proof of notability. Edison (talk) 21:08, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
