Kan Jong-woo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article about a musician, which does not really demonstrate a clear WP:NMUSIC pass and is referenced to sources of uncertain reliability. This was created in draftspace and submitted to the AFC queue, but then the creator bypassed the actual AFC process by moving it to mainspace themselves before it actually got reviewed -- but their reasoning for doing so, that his name was already mentioned in other articles, is not an automatic notability freebie that exempts a person from actually having to clear a normal inclusion standard like NMUSIC or GNG. But after running the footnotes through Google Translate, I can confirm that two of them are routine primary source directory entries in IMDb-like databases, two are short blurbs on web portals that aren't real media outlets, and the only one that appears to be a genuinely reliable source is actually much more about his twin brother than it is about him -- so none of these sources cut it at all, but nothing stated in the article is "inherently" notable enough to exempt his sources from having to cut it. I'm willing to reconsider this, and/or support returning it to draftspace, if there's legitimate reason to believe it's improvable -- as I can't personally read Korean, I'm not in a position to determine whether better sources exist or not: I can only google-translate the sources that are already present, and the sources that are already present are junk.
