The result was keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. Consensus here is that the article subject meets WP:GNG; whether she separately meets WP:SINGER (excluding point 1) is not clear but doing so is not necessary as long as she meets GNG. Elli (talk &#124; contribs) 21:17, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

Yeh Shu-hua

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No observed changes in notability for WP:GNG, WP:SINGER, WP:BANDMEMBER WP:SNG (WP:SINGER, WP:BANDMEMBER) since Articles for deletion/Yeh Shuhua in 2021. The previous AfD resulted in redirect, this is the revision prior to the AfD closure. Please note that there was previously a typo mistake refering SNG as WP:GNG in the initial revision, this has since been corrected on 2 June, a day later, with formatting adjustment to ensure I'm implying both SINGER and BANDMEMBER collectively in relation to SNG to avoid confusion.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  17:37, 1 June 2024 (UTC) ; edited 15:15, 2 June 2024‎ (UTC)


 * I believe the references show that the subject meets the following criteria. The references has the person as the main subject and not just a passing mention as part of the group.
 * 1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself.
 * A big difference from the other version is a reliance on published sources like news reports and magazines rather than Youtube videos. Firezzasd (talk) 18:10, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Don't see how "reliance on published sources like news reports and magazines" is of any differences to the pointers raised by Explicit in the previous AfD, pretty close in my opinion.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  18:41, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * can you link the previous AfD discussion, so I can see what points were raised? Firezzasd (talk) 18:48, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Already linked, above ^.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  18:49, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The main difference is that discussion is from June 2021. There's more reporting on the subject in the last three years, as evident in the references. I think if the concern is independent notability, that's no longer an issue as compared to back then. Firezzasd (talk) 18:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * More as in? Other than 1 hosting news releases (pretty much routine), health issues (ref bombing), 1 cover magazine featured, endorsements for 1 bag brand (ref bombing) and shoe brand (ref bombing). And minus here and there compared to the deleted article due to no reliable sources available. So where exactly does WP:SINGER and WP:BANDMEMBER criteria is fulfiled?  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  07:15, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can see the evidence is kind of thin for WP:SNG, but like both you and Prince of Erebor already pointed out, there's more than enough to pass WP:GNG. Therefore, it should be a keep instead of a redirect. Firezzasd (talk) 15:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Women, Dance, South Korea,  and Taiwan.  WC  Quidditch   ☎   ✎  18:24, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: I think the nominator is more likely arguing that Yeh Shu-hua does not demonstrate sufficient individual notability to have a standalone article and should be redirected, rather than filing for a deletion. Then I guess it would be more helpful if the nominator would elaborate on their rationale for considering the other four out of five members to have individual notability (Soojin debuted solo so I am not counting her), while singling out Yeh as lacking it. As a Taiwanese member whose career has been based in Korea, I have looked into sources covering her in both Chinese and Korean. I can't read Korean, so I could only run sources with a translator and it seems like there are quite a lot sources that cover Shu-hua personally, most notably is her solo work as the host of WORKDOL (see My Daily and Nate News, and I later also found coverage in Chinese sources, like Elle and ETToday) and appearances in variety shows. (See Segye Ilbo, Global Economy Newspaper, Zum (Korean website), etc.) I do read Chinese though, and found a lot more sources with SIGCOV about her career, personal life and controversies. (See Elle, GQ Taiwan, SET News, Nownews, United Daily News, Jusky, Storm Media, TVBS News etc.) There are also media coverage on some of her solo works in Taiwan, such as participating in the Taiwanese game show Mr. Player (see Liberty Times and China Times), a recent travel program with Bolin Chen, (see Oriental Daily News), or performing at Golden Wave At Taiwan. (See Mirror Media and ETToday) Considering the sources already presented in the article and provided by Cunard in the previous AFD, as well as the additional ones I have listed out, I think it is more than enough to show that the subject person has well passed GNG. The SIGCOV on the subject person's solo works are also sufficient to demonstrate the individual notability. So it is a quite obvious pass of both GNG and BANDMEMBER in my opinion. — Prince of Erebor  （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  10:37, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Read through the majority of the linked news articles above, still couldn't find where is the individual notability as a SINGER and BANDMEMBER.

 * Another routine coverage and/or summary of her appearance in Workdol's episode
 * Digest/rundown/roundup's news article of her

 * Another digest/rundown/roundup's news article of her

 * Coverage of her Instagram post, yet another digest/rundown/roundup's news article
 * Coverage on Song Yuqi and Minnie, she mentioned in WP:PASSINGMENTION

 * Routine coverage on Golden Wave at Taiwan concert, she is mentioned in PASSINGMENTION as (G)I-dle is performing there
 * Routine coverage on her special MC/host apperance on Golden Wave at Taiwan concert (the same event as #19)
 * In relation to "[the] rationale for considering the other four out of five members to have individual notability", I'm not sure why I'm even answering this question when a quick scan through each (Cho Mi-yeon, Minnie, Jeon So-yeon, Song Yuqi) already given the obvious answer of meeting GNG and/or BLP and/or SINGER and/or BANDMEMBER criteria.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  12:58, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Paper9oll! Hmm... I believe it is necessary to clarify your expectations for individual notability in order to reach a consensus here. I am not particularly familiar with (G)I-dle, as far as I know, the key difference between Yeh and the other members is that she did not have any individual musical releases. (If I remember correctly Yuqi had her article before releasing her first solo single though) However, I don't think debuting solo is a crucial criterion for determining individual notability, and it is not explicitly stated in BANDMEMBER either. (Ryujin and Lia come to mind as a counterexample.) Aside from this, I do not think the media coverage of Minnie and Yuqi should differ significantly from that of Yeh. I also found it difficult to agree with about half of the summaries you provided. For instance, I cited sources mentioning Yeh hosting Workdol, participating in variety programs, and co-hosting an upcoming travel program with Chen Bolin (the latter was mistakenly labeled as covering her returning from illness). I was intending to emphasize Yeh's solo activities, which I see as demonstrating her individuality, rather than the overall notability. I am also slightly puzzled by how these can be considered routine coverage, or else an actor's entire filmography can be viewed as just their "another day of work" as well. Another key point of disagreement is the categorization of the Chinese sources covering her biography as news digests. SIGCOV never emphasizes that the subject person has to be a unique or major topic of the source, but rather require the source to address the subject person directly and in detail only. These few sources are entirely about Yeh's biography, even the title singled her out instead of referring her as a group. I guess there isn't really room of argument that those sources are direct and detailed addresses. I think this level of SIGCOV on Yeh's early life, career, and personal life far exceeds the requirements of GNG. While I may concede that Yeh's lack of a solo debut could be seen as not meeting BANDMEMBER for individual notability, it is still unconvincing to dismiss the aforementioned sources as run-of-the-mill. I agree to disagree, but respectfully I think the subject person has undoubtedly fulfilled GNG. — Prince of Erebor （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  14:53, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Prince of Erebor Maybe my standards are higher, I still don't see how she is meeting SNG (SINGER and BANDMEMBER) criteria. Maybe the previous AfD should have resulted in passing for GNG but failure for SNG i.e. keep instead of redirect, I would expect the same for this i.e. passing for GNG but failure for SNG unless other editor(s) changes the !vote scale or if the closer has other POVs, I believe this would be keep closure. I mistakenly written GNG instead of SNG previously until I realised that I'm trying to refer to the latter instead of the former as when I'm re-reading through your replies, I kept seeing GNG concerns even though this isn't my point of concern. However for the others (G)I-dle's members, they met both GNG and SNG hence this wasn't a typo. Regardless, I'm not expecting a consensus between us anyway since this is AfD.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  15:24, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, I do understand more of your arguments now though. Because assessments on NBLP standards can vary, but GNG should be very straightforward and I was really head-scratching when my sources were denounced as they are clearly providing SIGCOV to the subject person. In my opinion, the subject person has passed both GNG and SNG as she has demonstrated individual notability with her solo works. I agree to disagree on SNG as stated in my previous reply, regarding the determination of the individual notability stated in BANDMEMBER, and I agree that we have very different sets of bars and expectations. But I think the subject person has undeniably passed GNG, and because since the beginning of this discussion (I think) Firezzasd and I were building our points on how Yeh should have already passed GNG, (that was literally why I went for Strong Keep) I think the consensus should head to a keep as well. GNG is also a notability guideline after all, and an article can be kept simply by meeting those criteria. — Prince of Erebor （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  16:34, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect: per nominator. Still no substantial evidence of individual notability. Per WP:BANDMEMBER, to the extent that every idol may have some advertisement or hosting gigs but it isn't exceptionally notable here either.Evaders99 (talk) 02:56, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but to be fair, I think you should leave the typo and retain GNG in your nomination statement. Because that was where the discussion was heading (otherwise it is misleading to all editors who are joining the discussion) - that I agree the subject person may not necessarily have fulfilled BANDMEMBER and there may not be consensus, but has way too many sources that significantly cover her personally, and GNG should be a good reason to keep this article. I think a redirect is not a bad option either, but I think you may have some reconsiderations on GNG and WP:BASIC, which were the core rationales of the discussion Firezzasd and I were establishing (instead of SNG/BANDMEMBER) before considering ATDs. — Prince of Erebor  （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  04:21, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Prince of Erebor I believe that I had already explained that earlier i.e. I'm not concerned on GNG but rather SNG, in fact I have been communicating where exactly is SNG met right from the start regardless to you or Firezzasd while yes there is a typo error however it has never deviated the discussion from the question i.e. me asking repeatedly on meeting SNG criteria. Why SNG because she is commonly known as a singer per MOS:ROLEBIO as supposed to any other sub roles derived from her main role. Regardless, whether she met GNG but failed SNG is ultimately, the closer decision to decide on, however if you have any concerns on the closing result i.e. it wasn't your expected outcome then you can go to WP:DRV to file for re-review provided the rationale is aligned with DRV guidelines.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  13:03, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * No, you are completely missing my point. I was trying to communicate with you in a more mild way, instead of directly throwing a guideline at you. The fact that you simply wrote out SNG into GNG is a violation of WP:REDACT. You have made it clear that you have made a typo and you are in fact referring to SNG, and I am happy to see a continued discussion basing on your actual arguments. But I have also made it clear that we (or at least I) were replying to your GNG concerns. As I said, that was literally why I went for Strong Keep and where I was building half of my arguments on. The flow of the discussion now is completely twisted and it looks like we were mistakenly addressing something else, and no new editors would be able to follow up our concerns on the subject person already passing GNG. Yet, it was your typo to begin with, not us. I guess it is both part of a guideline and basic courtesy that if you wish to update your original comments, you may consider adding something like "(Typo edit: SNG)", instead just blatantly writing out. There is no point of discussing when others were making an argument, you just chime in and say "sorry, typo" to collapse others' arguments. Also, I do not think a DRV would be my concern. I am not really concerned about the fate of this article, because both a Keep or a Redirect would do in my opinion, and I am pretty sure this discussion would be relisted for at least another week with more editors joining and most likely would end up being a No Consensus. Therefore, to favour the future discussions for the upcoming weeks, I think a restoration of the typo is necessary. — Prince of Erebor （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  13:49, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @Prince of Erebor Duly noted that your reasoning is basing on GNG as you have a different viewpoint i.e. the subject meets GNG in which I had also agreed on in the subsequent replies. Imo, there isn't any confusion happening as your replies and also Firezzasd's replies shows that your are stating that the subject meets GNG already in which my defence is on "what about SINGER and BANDMEMBER?" while there may be a typo however I don't see how this has affected the AfD overall since the replies made were constructive i.e. mainly "subject already met GNG", there is no hardline rule that states that editor(s) must only reply to the concerns (i.e. restrictly !vote and/or discuss around SINGER and BANDMEMBER) raised by the nominator. Hopefully, this explanation resolves any of your concerns made.  — Paper9oll  (🔔 • 📝)  14:25, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * My only concern was that I am afraid there may be confusion for newcomers, as they may not be aware that GNG was also discussed previously. I saw that you have listed the typo out to clear the confusion, and I think that is sufficient in my opinion. Thanks! — Prince of Erebor （ The Book of Mazarbul ）  14:30, 4 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Keep: Per Prince of Erebor. Subject passes WP:GNG. Firezzasd (talk) 15:23, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep: Definitely passes WP:GNG, has 6M followers on instagram and searching her name up in Chinese gives you a ton of results, whether traditional or simplified. 48JCL[ citation needed ] [ dubious – discuss ] 20:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to (G)-Idle : per nom. Not independently notable enough as a singer in MOS:ROLEBIO per WP:SINGER and WP:BANDMEMBER Shenaall (talk) 07:50, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Notability (people), which says: "People are presumed if they have received significant coverage in  that are,  of each other, and .If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability." Notability (music) says: "Members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability." The significant coverage in reliable sources about the subject shows she has "demonstrated individual notability". Sources  The numerous sources found in 's excellent, exhaustive research. Prince of Erebor has definitely shown that there has been significant coverage on some of her solo works in Taiwan.  The article notes from Google Translate: "Shuhua's real name is "Ye Shuhua". Shee was born on 6 January 2000. She is 161 centimeters tall. Her father is a Hakka and her mother is an Atayal. She has been determined to become an artist since she was a child and often shared this dream with her family, but her family always thought that she was just a kid and didn't pay much attention to what she thought. It wasn't until Shu Hua filled out her high school application and was admitted to Huagang Art School without telling her family, and finally successfully entered the drama department of the school, heading towards the career of an artist, that her family knew she was serious." The article notes from Google Translate: "But because there is no such distinction in terminology in Taiwan, Shu Hua, who has a fierce personality, often forgets, or asks the other party if he can speak half a language. This often makes her criticised by Korean netizens for being rude. However, some fans believe that Shuhua is just not used to it and doesn't handle it well. It was not intentional. But now that she has developed in South Korea, she should slowly adapt to this cultural difference."  The article notes from Google Translate: "Shu Hua herself is an inspirational story. In the Korean entertainment industry where everyone wants to debut as a star, Shu Hua, who comes from Taoyuan Yangmei, first enrolled in Huagang Art School. In the second year of high school, she dropped out of school without telling her parents and went to South Korea to develop. After being a trainee for two years, she debuted as a member of the (G)I-DLE girl group." The article notes from Google Translate: "Although (G)I-DLE has a large number of fans, Shuhua was not well received by the fans at the beginning. They made all kinds of sarcastic remarks, ranging from "How can you be an idol when you are so fat?", "Singing out of tune, "Performances are frequent" to "Does (G)I-DLE need Shu Hua?", but Shu Hua did not give up because of this. First, she comprehensively controlled her diet, not eating after six o'clock, not touching fried food, etc."  The article notes from Google Translate: "Ye Shuhua has become a new fashion darling in recent years. Not only has she become the new spokesperson for the local affordable bag brand Robinmay and the women's shoe brand D+AF, but the Korean fashion brand COVERNAT has also been attracted by her charm long ago, and has successively released her products since the end of last year. Shuhua's image photo was released, and in March this year, he officially announced that he would be upgraded to a women's clothing brand ambassador."</li> <li> The article notes from Google Translate: "Ye Shuhua, a 21-year-old Taiwanese member of the popular South Korean girl group (G) I-DLE, has a cool appearance but a super cute personality. The contrast has attracted countless fans. She returned to Taiwan at the end of March for a long vacation. Recently, she dedicated her only TV program announcement to CTV and Sanli's "Variety Show" ... In addition, Shu Hua's straightforward and lively performance on the show also made the official YouTube channel of "Variety Show Big" gain an influx of fans from many countries when it premiered, with as many as 10,000 people watching online at the same time"</li> <li>Less significant coverage:<ol> <li> The article notes: "Born on January 6, 2000, Shuhua is a Capricorn. The singer is also one of the few Taiwanese K-pop idols, and grew up there until moving to South Korea as a teenager to become a K-pop star. There, she trained under South Korean music company Cube Entertainment, where she studied music and dance, while also learning Korean."</li> </ol></li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Yeh Shu-hua ( to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard (talk) 07:13, 6 June 2024 (UTC) </li></ul>
 * Strong Keep It is very clear that this subject meets the GNG – the nominator has stated as much. SNGs are a lower standard than the GNG where we "presume sources exist" if a subject has met some specific criterion. When the GNG has been met, arguing that the article should be deleted based on SNG defies logic. That aside, both WP:SINGER and WP:BANDMEMBER include the GNG as a criterion!
 * SINGER #1: Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. (literally the GNG).
 * BANDMEMBER: Members of notable bands are redirected...unless they have demonstrated individual notability (emphasis mine; this means that if they meet the GNG, they meet BANDMEMBER).
 * There is no way to logically argue that this article should be deleted or redirected after the GNG has been met. Toadspike   [Talk]  08:53, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
