The result was   redirect to After School (band). The one delete !vote asserts "per nom" of which the nom requested redirection to After School (band). That, combined with the rest, leads this to a redirection. (non-admin closure) Dusti*Let's talk!* 18:27, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

Does not appear to have individual notability per WP:MUS. Should be redirected to After School (band). Random86 (talk) 03:50, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * 'Redirect as per nom. No evidence of notability outside of her group.  Her one solo song charted poorly, and the only semi-notable song in the collaborations table was done as part of her group, not individually.  Sources are sketchy and include a tabloid and the artist's own SMS.  Shinyang-i (talk) 21:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, NorthAmerica1000 06:19, 9 January 2015 (UTC) I see no reason to delete this artist's individual page. She is a legacy member of a notable band where individual members are purposely rotated out of the band as "graduating" members. No member is retained in the band indefinitely -- the band is a non-nuclear unit with "outside" contributors. All, members are, in essence, "contributors" to a band designed by Pledis Entertainment. As such all members, including Rebekah Kim contribute to the brand, the dance, and often the songwriting of "the band." Additionally, each current and member and past member have their own pages regardless of individual successes outside the group. We are not weighing noteworthy-ness based on the number of successful singles when it comes to citing contribution, or many band members would never be cited outside of the band page. More importantly, fan appreciation of such works does not factor into notability either. Outside of the band, this artist has also started her own jewelry company and appeared in a variety of media, including this September 2013 article in Billboard magazine which talks, in part about a future return to music. She has also been interviewed on camera at KCON2013 referring to her recent in-studio work. She hardly lacks notability, nor has she been unproductive since her departure from After School, and this individual page should remain in place. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dockane (talk • contribs) 23:08, 11 January 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Redirect – per nom. She appears to be utterly non-notable outside the group. The Billboard article was interesting, but it was about her experiences in the group. If former members have notable careers in acting etc. after "graduating", OK they can have their own articles. But they have to be notable on their own. Having a section for former members in the group article seems like the most natural way to handle it. The Billboard interview could go there. – Margin1522 (talk) 08:35, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
