Jeong-Hyun Lim

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

Jeong-Hyun Lim lacks the appropriate notability for a Wikipedia article. He does not meet the criteria for notability per WP:MUS. His only success has been a moderate number of Youtube views, which do not warrant an article. Luk suh  04:32, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Oppose. See YouTube, as this is one of the most viewed and best known of all YouTube videos, with considerable mainstream media coverage. Also, 53 million is more than a moderate number of views. The article could do with a cleanup, but deletion is too strong.-- ♦Ian Ma c  M♦  (talk to me) 08:04, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Significant coverage in reliable sources is enough to meet WP:GNG. PC78 (talk) 11:15, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Mainstream news coverage of him indicates that he is notable. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * A possibility of WP:SNOW here.-- ♦Ian Ma c M♦  (talk to me) 19:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not seeing any show yet, but perhaps I'm just in a different part of the world. _ Mgm|(talk) 22:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Covered in multiple highly reliable publications (NYT even spent multiple webpages discussing him). And there is a reasoable amount of information to tell about him. Meets basic notability guidelines. - Mgm|(talk) 22:58, 13 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. The article needs a cleanup, but should be retained. Remember, common sense is one of the criteria for inclusion. Funtwo definitely is notable enough to be included -- the phenomenal popularity of his YouTube video made the major media, and viewers spread far outside the usual YouTube user demographic. People want to know more about him, and Wikipedia seems the logical place to turn. More generally, far from deleting the article, more comprehensive coverage of major YouTube personalities/videos seems desirable.  While I can see sensible administrative reasons for the notability as a criterion so as not to be flooded, quality or uniqueness in an emerging medium (online video) with ill-defined standards as yet, should also count. Sori1004jy at http://blog.naver.com/sori1004jy might possibly be another candidate for coverage, though her audience numbers are more the norm for the YouTube site; she isn't a phenomenon. I mention her as a type example of someone who may not meet the conventional notability criteria, but who is probably well enough known, and with enough people curious about her, to merit inclusion.
