Kim Jae-hwan (singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Individual likely fails WP:GNG and WP:NMG. He has not done anything major musically to qualify for an article; his most notable aspect is being a member of Wanna One, and winning a TV show competition and even then he has not made any releases to his own name.

 * Keep - He was winner of reality show Vocal War. Besides, he has severl single, and has musical career as a boy band Wanna One. -- Kanghuitari (talk) 09:43, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment – He has no solo singles, all this charted songs listed at Kim Jae-hwan (singer) are either with Produce 101 or other collaborations, while his own song from Vocal War didnt charted. And just being a member of the group does not make him notable in any way per WP:NMUSIC. Snowflake91  (talk) 09:56, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Reality show winner. It's notable career. -- Kanghuitari (talk) 10:02, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * See WP:BAND, "Singers and musicians who are only notable for participating in a reality television series may be redirected to an article about the series, until they have demonstrated that they are independently notable". Snowflake91  (talk) 10:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I mean, Vocal War. not Produce 101. He participated reality show as a solo artist. See WP:BAND, Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition. Kanghuitari (talk) 10:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Vocal War is not "major music competition", its just another of 10,000 Korean variety/reality shows. Snowflake91  (talk) 10:33, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Vocal War is quiet notable show in South Korea. -- Kanghuitari (talk) 10:41, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep - per Kanghuitari's comments. He was been awarded as The one who won the god of in the reality show. -- Countles (talk) 09:51, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Above comment has been blocked as a confirmed sockpuppet of Kanghuitari. ℯ  xplicit  00:51, 30 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom, fails WP:GNG (no individual coverage in reliable sources, with exception of routine short reports about Wanna One activities). By the way, per WP:DUCK test, I strongly suspect that Countles and Kanghuitari are the same person – for example, they were doing the same edits in May 2017, like here and in other categories regarding filming locations, and now this user magically appears after more than 3 months of inactivity, just few minutes after Kanghuitari posted.

 * I feel very bad,I don't know that person. -- Kanghuitari (talk) 10:41, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - I agree with Snowflake91. He is not independently notable. His song releases for Vocal War also didn't chart otherwise he has no notable songs. It's all related to his job as a member of Wanna One.--Thebestwinter (talk) 17:29, 24 August 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - per nom. For someone who helped clean this page, it pains me to do this, but I really do believe that the individual fails the criteria enumerated in WP:NMG. Besides, the page can be restored later once the individual finally does something notable that fits the criteria listed on WP:NMG.  Eugh jei ♥  Kaorin   15:50, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
