Yuri (Korean singer)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unsourced bio of a living person. I will gladly withdraw this nom if someone can find a source. I can't. Hipocrite (talk) 21:25, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for sourcing this article. Hipocrite (talk) 11:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep As I said in my dePROD, and wrote on the article's talk page, which you may or may not have reviewed, sources are given in Girl Friends (band).  Likely you didn't find them because those sources are in Korean language.  Did you check the article on the Korean project - I cant read it.  I can sort of read the the article on the Polish project, and it has no sources.  How to search for sources?, should it be for "Yuri" or perhaps "Yoo ri" or "Cha Hyun-ok" or "차현옥" -- what did you do?  And Hipocrite, please inform the community of your pressing BLP concerns that motivated this nomination. Power.corrupts (talk) 22:02, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * My pressing BLP concerns are that "Unsourced BLPs that have been around for several years are an easy and obvious first target, and ... deletions, while unconventional and a bit exciting for some, were carefully considered and I consider this a valid application of WP:BOLD." - Jimbo Wales. Hipocrite (talk) 22:04, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * (EC) When WP:PRESERVE (policy) is not followed I see it as mere laziness, veiled in puff and a call to authority. Anyway, if you look at the almost unintelligeble Google translate of the Korean sources, her name seems to translate as "glass". I saw your like-minded PROD of Péter Medgyessy Holy smoke! What an embarrasing lack of maturity and international perspective you display, I identify it as downright vandalism. Power.corrupts (talk) 22:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Am I lazy or a vandal? Could you be less civil? Hipocrite (talk) 22:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep. I'm at work right now, so I can't do anything right now, but searching "Yuri Cool" (the group she's part of) yields many, many results(recent ones, and older ones. SKS (talk) 22:16, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Per WP:GOOGLE, can you read any of those sources, or could they be similar to the results when found searching for richard hertz? Hipocrite (talk) 22:20, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I contribute heavily towards various Korean pop culture articles, and can read and understand Korean, being a second-generation Korean American Canadian (long story). As I said earlier, I'm at work right now so I cannot do much, but this article talk as about how this Yuri has the same name as Girls' Generation's Yuri, this article talks about Cool's 2005 breakup, this article talks about how Yuri set up her own online shopping store, and this article talks about her debut with Chae Rina for Girl Friends.  Did you want more?  I can do some more when I get home. SKS (talk) 23:19, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you. As soon as you put that in the article, I'll hapily withdraw my nomination. Hipocrite (talk) 23:22, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Please withdraw. SKS (talk) 05:56, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Snow/Speedy Keep. It doesn't have to be put in the article for us to vote keep -- it just has to exist.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:14, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:HEY - current article and suggested sources now show notability. Bearian (talk) 06:08, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
