Does not appear to be notable in English. If, as claimed, this person is notable in Korea or Norway, the relevant language versions of the Wikipedia can handle this best. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC) Colonel Warden (talk) 22:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - "Does not appear to be notable in English" is probably the most blatant case of systemic bias I've seen in this project. If a topic notable in Korea and Norway, English Wikipedia shouldn't cover it?  Someone notable in countries where the primary language is not English is every reason for English language Wikipedia to cover them.  Best selling author and has received significant coverage by reliable sources such as The Dong-a Ilbo.   And these are only in English.  In Korean, there's much more. .  Probably even more in Norwegian ((bokmål)‬.  --Oakshade (talk) 23:42, 29 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for providing an English language source. Without any source of this kind, it seems too difficult for us to protect ourselves against hoaxes and other improper BLPs.  The Wikipedia is divided into separate languages and so it seems sensible for topics which are exclusively covered in one language to be confined to the appropriate sections.  Systematic translation into other languages would only be appropriate once an article had reached a reasonable and verified level of quality in the primary language.  Anyway, as we have an acceptable English source now, I shall withdraw. Colonel Warden (talk) 07:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
