I originally tagged this article for speedy deletion although it was declined. I am nominating this article for deletion the following reasons:
 * 1) This article is clearly an autobiography (hense the creator's username)
 * 2) The subject of this is article is not notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
 * 3) There are no references.
 * 4) Promotional &mdash;  Music1201  talk  00:13, 5 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - I'm withholding judgment on this one, as I do not know Korean; it would be ideal to find someone who does and could perhaps interpret some of the Korean-language sources (and others that may exist but are not listed here). GABHello! 00:21, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:BASIC and WP:NPOL #2 (pursuant to the footnote: A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists.). Notability is the key concern here, but the nom doesn't explain why the article shouldn't be viewed as notable. The article does give references (and indeed it gave references when it was nominated for deletion). In combination with the references at the Korean Wikipedia I think these establish notability. The subject doesn't seem to pass muster purely on WP:ACADEMIC, but just going from the sources here and on the Korean wiki we have multiple feature-length articles in reliable news sources (including a significant regional news source and News1, a major national news agency), coverage in Korea's official news agency Yonhap News, and a feature-length interview in the Jeonbuk Ilbo, a major regional paper. So it seems to pass the basic notability criteria. Hopefully this also serves as a reply to above.


 * In regards to the other concerns:
 * Is the username the only reason for the COI concern? Just the username probably isn't sufficient; "Kim" is an extremely common Korean name, indeed 1 in 5 Koreans are called Kim. The CV style needs to be reformatted, but again that style is common in Korean and you see it in use a lot on the Korean Wikipedia. Not sure there's an immediate reason to think that the article is an autobiography.
 * I don't see any obvious promotional content on the article. The content is short but seems to be written objectively. More detailed concerns should be taken up as a content issue rather than at deletion. — Nizolan  (talk) 23:26, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
