Notability and in-universe perspective. This article is about a fictional character from the movie The Karate Kid. Does not meet WP:FICT and portions are Patent Nonsense. Clubjuggle 20:51, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete I would've suggested merging into the article for the movie, but this is just bullshit. "Source: Korean folklore"?--Sethacus 21:00, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete A look through the previous versions shows this article to be largely a complete fiction. At best it is a good faith but made up biography of a character in a film, at worst it is a hoax. Either way it has no place on Wikipedia, even if it were edited to be a factual account of the Karate Kid character I would still question notability.•  nancy  • 21:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe that this article provides a nice basis on a fitcional character whose storyline is largly murky to begin with. It is nice to be able to actually have closure on a character that was vastly underused. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.71.53.19 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * All well and good if you want to write fan fiction to flesh out this character's story, but this is not the place to post it. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. --Clubjuggle 17:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I really do not see the problem here. Alot of the info does seem to check out per the movies and if in fact the info is not factually based, what harm has it caused?? Is there really a pressing need for a fictitous character's info be rooted in 100% proof? If this is the case, many entries need to be removed at once.-- KKIII — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.71.53.19 (talk • contribs)
 * I've been waiting for someone to add John Kreese. How come there's a Terry Silver article but people want the Kreese one deleted? If it's a fictional character how can the sources be wrong? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brady102 (talk • contribs) 16:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - How can a bio of a fictional character created by someone other than the original author be suitable material for an encyclopaedia? WebHamster 11:20, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
