Young Jin Moon

Notability of the person not asserted, only that he was related to Unification Church leader Sun Myung Moon. The article only discusses his death, and then mainly the reaction of other people to it. Redddogg (talk) 16:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into True Family. A GNews search shows several RS covering his death (which are not included in the article at present) but I really don't see him notable for anything else. Jclemens (talk) 17:31, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

 * Neutral Since I am a Unification Church member I was informed of this AfD. I generally think that Rev. Moon's family is given too much attention on WP, relative to the interest in them outside the circle of  church members and church critics.  We members, of course, think they are very important.  I don't care to get involved however. Steve Dufour (talk) 17:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete or (minimal) merge: article only covers his death, and does not establish notability. Any discussion of the effect of his death on his family or church would seem to make more sense in those articles, but even there should not be given WP:UNDUE weight.

 * One of my concerns with True Family is that is undersourced, and contains some negative data. The merge would be a good opportunity to include RS support for what the article says about this deceased gentleman. That is, what is currently in this article isn't really up to par with what I'd prefer to see merged. Jclemens (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - Did some research, and added a bit more material from additional secondary sources. Cirt (talk) 23:36, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: the only secondary coverage appears to be post-mortem and principally in connection with his death. Their coverage of pre-mortem information appears to be minimal and superficial (date of beirth, who congratulated him on his marriage, etc). HrafnTalkStalk(P) 10:08, 14 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete A merge and redirect to True Family would be appropriate if the text/references are sufficiently relevant for treatment there. - Eldereft (cont.) 00:47, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect, but only after a merge is completed. You may ignore my comments if you feel my 46 year membership in the Unification Church represents a conflict of interest. --Uncle Ed (talk) 17:26, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The article has some good sources, including Christianity Today. The incident of Mr. Moon's death seems to have been a notable event which merits a WP article. This is not really a biography, but still a worthwhile article. Borock (talk) 18:01, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
