The result was   redirect to Shin Suk-ja. There is no inherent notability of either daughter and from all the English sources listed (with the exclusion of the UN resolution) the notability does appear to rest with Shin Suk-ja. However, if someone can reference reliable Korean sources that indeed address either daughter as being independently notable then I have no prejudice to the articles being recreated. &mdash; Coffee //  have a cup  //  essay  // 05:39, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Oh Kyu-won

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Suggest redirecting to Shin Suk-ja. Kyu-won is only notable for being the daughter of Shin, so there is nothing further being explained here that isn't already mentioned at Shin's article. Your Lord and Master (talk) 08:05, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep (and expand). Do you know any current North Korean political prisoner more famous than Oh Hae-won and Oh Kyu-won, assuming Shin Suk-ja is dead as the North Korean government claims? To my knowledge they are the only foreign children ever deported to a North Korean concentration camp and therefore the perfect example of arbitrary detention. Amnesty International campaigns, United Nations resolutions and many other documents mention all three women, Shin Sook-ja, Oh Hae-won and Oh Kyu-won by name. Shin Sook-ja certainly is mentioned first and most often, as she was the most famous of the three. But after her alleged death it can be assumed that human rights organizations will focus on the Oh sisters. Still I’m optimistic, that in case human rights organizations increase efforts, some day in future the Oh sisters will be released and their complete individual biography can be provided in detail. The pages are quite new and I’m still in the process of expanding them. The Oh Hae-won article is already expanded partly. -- Gamnamu (talk) 14:32, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - but with reference to my comments HERE. Stalwart 111  (talk) 02:06, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - And redirect. No evidence of notability independent from her family, whose situation is covered in detail in the articles Shin Suk-ja and Oh Kil-nam. Khazar2 (talk) 17:44, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
