Lee Minhyuk

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article seems to get most of his notoriety through his band BtoB, not on his own account. If so, that does not warrant a separate article and a redirect to BtoB will be sufficient. The Banner talk 12:04, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep This NOM has mass AfDed several of the individual band members on the same basis. We are dealing with a boy band in Korea, so media habits are not the same.  There is a ton of what wikipedia would regard as non-reliable source material about them, Facebook, tumblr, pinterest, blogs that are the kind of new media you would expect around such a group.  What I am saying is there is no question about their notability.  Normally the members of the boy bands I am familiar with do get their own individual articles but in the haste to delete this one, Minhyuk individually was an actor before joining the band, performing in Living In Chungdamdong, a television show on jTBC.  That distinguishes him from just the group's activities and makes him individually notable. Trackinfo (talk) 23:41, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * LOL, these "mass nominations" only counts three nominations. Could you please assume good faith and stop following me around on almost every article I nominate? The Banner talk 00:09, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to BtoB (band), as per the guidelines: "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases."

 * Redirect to BtoB (band) - per WP:MUSIC. Hello, I'm unsure if you're aware of Wikipedia notability guideline. Availability of many many many tons of trillions of billions of millions of 'non-reliable sources' doesn't really make a thing notable on Wikipedia. It is multiple 'reliable sources', say 3 or preferably 5 that discuss the subject in some detail, at least 2 paragraphs. Have you some? Anupmehra  - Let's talk!  11:01, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia does have a serious problem identifying reliable and on-reliable sources outside the major English speaking countries. Our simplistic assessment of "non-reliable" to blogs and Facebook might be discounting the direct, official path of legitimate media . . . even in certain English speaking markets.  Unless you are in South Korea and speak the language, I doubt you or any other editor could speak accurately of the media situation in South Korea, or in the K-Pop scene.  I see a little of it when it hits American Korean media here in L.A.  What I am saying here is, we discount that is being reported in foreign countries because we don't know.  I posted sources that cover the specific points in the article, from what is available through translated sources. Trackinfo (talk) 16:01, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
