WP:BLP1E - what we have is the coverage of a single speech he gave, which is a single event. It's possible he is generally important, but we don't have that information. Nat Gertler (talk) 03:39, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep A Google News Archive search shows that he has been a Vice-Premier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea since 1998. Accordingly, he meets WP:POLITICIAN, and the article should be expanded rather than deleted.  Cullen 328   Let's discuss it  04:31, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment I have expanded the artcle a bit, and have added several references.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  06:14, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment This is the first Afd nomination for the article. It was previously proded by Nat Gertler and contested by Geraldshields11. I've changed the tag to reflect this. Funny  Pika! 14:47, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Dear Funny  Pika!, Thank you for changing the tag. Please would someone and another tag to reflect it new status? Also, please would someone help with the North Korean articles? Thank you in advance. Geraldshields11 (talk) 16:22, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep He passes WP:POLITICIAN. There aren't many English language sources but enough to confirm his identity, and I'm sure there are Korean-language sources too. WP:BLP1E doesn't apply because he's notable for his position, not merely one speech. --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:08, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep With the additional information that has been brought to the article in the wake of my nomination, I agree that he meets WP:POLITICIAN, and withdraw my request. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep Meets WP:POLITICIAN. With a bit of time this could be expanded into a good article  iComputer  SaysNo 16:26, 14 March 2013 (UTC)
