The result was   no consensus. Due to the language barrier, there's still some doubt as to how significant the coverage is. There's also a concern about the scarcity of background biographical information which is needed to write a balanced BLP. Ron Ritzman (talk) 23:11, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Jeong Mi Sook

Unsourced BLP. No significant coverage found. A PROD was contested in 2008 so bringing it here. Michig (talk) 07:38, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non-major voice actor. When I typed "Jeong Mi Sook" into both Yahoo! and Google, all I found was Wikipedia, fan sites, anime voice actors listings, and Facebook. She doesn't even have an IMDb page. SwisterTwister   talk  00:21, 2 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. Many films and series and actors found notable in and to Korea are not listed on IMDB, and as she IS Korean, we do not need to expect that someone working in the Korea film industry will neccessarily have English-language coverage in the West. I will hope that Korean-reading Wikipedians can slog through these results:  While many do not appear promising, I do not read Korean.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 20:28, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I did search on both the English and Korean names here and looked at the Chrome-translated Korean results, but found nothing that convinced me of significant coverage.--Michig (talk) 20:34, 2 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The name is quite common in Korean, and Google Translate output for Korean is often so completely incorrect or incomprehensible that it's impossible to tell whether a given news article (let alone 287 articles) is talking about the person of interest. Regardless, when you add disambiguating terms like "voice actor" (성우) to the search, there's only 17 GNews hits, which do not represent non-trivial coverage but are just mentions of her name in lists of other voice actors. cab (call) 03:53, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - Non enough coverage to prove the subject's notability. Eduemoni↑talk↓ </b> 18:47, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep While it's difficult for me to work through the language barrier, I've added three news articles mentioning this voice actor, two in reference to her voicing of Hermione in the Harry Potter series, one in addition to another work.  That I was able to do this through translation and Gnews suggests to me that the roles were significant, and suggests notability under WP:ENT.  I couldn't quite sniff the translated Google Books exerpts enough to be sure, but I suspect that there's a mention here, too, it looks like it says that she dubbed the Sandra Bollock role in Speed.  --joe deckertalk to me 19:28, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Relisting comment Consensus still seems unclear; I'm relisting so editors can discuss the sources User:Joe Decker has recently applied. BusterD (talk) 13:28, 14 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep per work by User:Joe Decker. A concern will be the sparcity of background biographical information on this person, but that has more to do with this being a Korean working in the Korea film industry, many of whom do not have English-language coverage in the West. That said, and as we might hope that information comes forward in the future, her work appears to be verifiable to meet the instructions at WP:ENT. the philosophy of WP:CSB suggests that we encourage assistance from those few editors IN Korea who would have access to hardcopy sources unavailable in the West.
