Park Sung-yong

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Park Sung-yong is a member of the boy band Touch, which doesn't have an article. His only individual activity is a supporting role in a television series. The article has no secondary reliable sources to show notability. I don't believe this meets the WP:GNG. Random86 (talk) 08:44, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

I am also nominating fellow Touch member Kim Sun-woong for the same reasons. (He's had a lead role in a short drama and appeared in a music video.)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete both-both seem unotable from what I can tell. Wgolf (talk) 17:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. Those articles need independent, reliable, substantial sources, which are missing at present. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:46, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. I absolutely hate deleting pages like this, because I'm usually convinced that there must be great coverage floating around in Korean (and there is no reason whatsoever to prioritize English vs. non-English sources.) Can't competently search myself for the sources, though, so maybe a Korean-speaker could help out before the final consensus. Earflaps (talk) 10:47, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Perhaps could do a quick search for sources? Keep in mind that even if Park and Kim's band (Touch) is notable, they have to have independent notability to have their own articles (WP:BAND). Since they apparently haven't done much, I doubt this is the case. Random86 (talk) 04:59, 15 March 2015 (UTC)


 * He's got only 16 hits on Naver. That's really small beer for a Korean celeb. He is not on Hancinema, so we can safely dismiss his acting career as non-notable. The initializer (talk) 09:15, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete both. I really couldn't find anything to speak of in Korean media.  If the non-news hits from Naver are removed (go to The initializer's link above and then click on "뉴스"), there are only two hits remaining (the other stuff were blog posts, etc).  One guy had one supporting role in one drama and the other had a lead role in a very short "teen drama" on Tooniverse.  Acting notability requirements are a bit higher than this.  And neither guy meets music notability requirements, definitely.  Both articles are sourced only to the artists' own homepage.  I think these Wikipedia articles assume their careers are on an upward trajectory but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, so it's WP:TOO SOON. :\ Shinyang-i (talk) 03:45, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
