Steve Kim

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Per the prod, which was removed without reason:

This seems to be a hoax, or else so badly confused as to be useless. The KNBC reference just goes to their front page while the Korean one seems to be about somebody else entirely. If you babelfish it, the DOB is different and nothing else matches (e.g album titles). The article even seems confused about the difference between North and South Korea! Fails verifiability. No proof of notability. Lacks coherent, encyclopaedic information. (this reason is from User:DanielRigal) tedder (talk) 18:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete (as Prodder). The North/South Korea bit has been fixed but the rest is still as bad as ever. Even allowing for the babelfish making a pigs ear of the translation, there is no way the referenced biog matches the article. --DanielRigal (talk) 19:08, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete per BLP issues. Simply being accused of murder is not notable and as a rapper, he fails WP:MUSIC. I'm willing to change my vote if someone finds adequate sources, but my search yielded nothing. Tavix | Talk  21:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:BLP and WP:NOTE. Dlabtot (talk) 00:39, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment The named rapper who underwent the false charge of murder, exists and has some notability in South Korea and a member of Uptown (group). However, the contents about him are largely incorrect. So well in the name of Blp, I'd say Merge to Uptown (group). --Caspian blue 11:54, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I see that the Uptown article is being messed around with too. I think there is a real semi-notable Steve Kim (in Uptown) and another non-notable Steve Kim which somebody is trying to sneak in. If you have time you might like to check that the Uptown article has the correct details. --DanielRigal (talk) 20:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

*Merge to Uptown (group). Not really notable on his own, especially considering that Uptown had relatively limited popularity. Beyond that, it's all about the WP:BLP. SKS2K6 (talk) 20:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC) Well...maybe not. I finally found a source for the whole murder thing here. So I'll keep my vote neutral for now while I work on the page.

 * Delete As a musician he's nonnotable. As an event, lets wait for time to tell.  Wikipedia isn't the news and we should see the historical impact of the murder trial.  As this is a living person, we don't want to spread rumors around. This must be documented better.  Them  From  Space  05:22, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
