Leonard Kim

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails WP:BASIC with no in-depth secondary sources. (Sources at the time of nomination are an article that doesn't mention Kim, a WP:NEWSPRIMARY interview, a WP:NEWSPRIMARY interview, an article written by Kim, a passing one-sentence mention of Kim as being a popular quora.com user who is "not famous", and an article that doesn't mention Kim.) I was unable to find any viable sources myself. McGeddon (talk) 19:06, 24 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Some of the sources are legit. unsourced sentences should be rvmoved. but the person seems notable. - Variation 25.2 (talk) 17:27, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Which of those six sources do you think are "legit"? --McGeddon (talk) 17:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete - Serious notability concerns here. Fdssdf (talk) 23:25, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Not sure if these links are notable enough or not but references to Forbes, INC, Fortunte, LATimes can't be ignored. Review some of the news links where the subject is covered:


 * References from Forbes, LA Times, etc can be ignored for the purposes of establishing notability if they are written by Leonard Kim or are WP:NEWSPRIMARY interviews with Leonard Kim, as is the case here. --McGeddon (talk) 18:32, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete - Passing mentions and interviews don't really give us the sources or substance of an actual biography, even a biographical sketch of this person, as opposed to a self-promotional resume. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 12:23, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
