Tae Yun Kim

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's no independent support for the claim that this person is notable. She doesn't seem to meet WP:MANOTE since rank doesn't show notability and she doesn't meet WP:GNG since almost all of the sources are primary (and it's not clear that the other source is reliable).

 * Weak keep; subject has received multiple passing mentions in multiple reliable sources, and subject may have received significant coverage from some of those RSs, however some of them are behind a pay wall and I cannot evaluate those sourcse. Additionally the NYT has given the subject significant coverage back in 1991.Therefore, assuming good faith of those sources, I have to lean towards them being significant, unless it can be shown otherwise. Therefore, the subject can be said to meet WP:GNG. The subject of the AfD has also written several books, but as the subject appears to pass GNG, I did not evaluate if the is notable per WP:AUTHOR.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:52, 2 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete She certainly seems to have (or is) a good PR person. The coverage I'm seeing is her promoting her book or seminars.  The fact that she runs a martial arts school does not make her notable, nor does her rank.  I couldn't find support for notability as a businessperson, author, or martial artist.  I'll admit the NY Times article looks good, but all it seems to say is that she teaches a martial art and helped organize the women's division of a one time tournament ("Pre World Games"?). 204.126.132.231 (talk) 14:36, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The New York Times article is pretty strong and pays her more than a passing mention. Between that and some of the other hits on Google News, I think she passes WP:GNG, barely. CaSJer (talk) 00:37, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
