I couldn't find any non-Korean people with the surname, so since there is also Kim (Korean surname) and List of people with the Korean family name Kim, I don't see the purpose of this page. I did transfer two stage names to the main dab page. The few fictional characters can also go on the dab page. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

- Keep and reinstate stage names Andy Kim (singer) and Sandra Kim. Although these chose the surname rather than inherited it, their inclusion as list entries is still valid encyclopedic content. – Fayenatic London 19:14, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: seems to be a valid Surname page. -My, oh my! (Mushy Yank) 22:38, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
