Article appears to fail criteria for WP:ATHLETE, WP:ENTERTAINER and WP:BIO. Lee only played football at the college level. His IMDb page shows only role was as a waiter in two episodes of a TV show. Job titles indicate employment as a lower-to-mid-level marketer for Sony and as a marketer for a a non-notable webpage. A search finds no significant coverage. (Note: I was unable to access two external links provided because they are listed as internet attack sites.) — CactusWriter | ^needles 10:16, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Were the magazine links looked at? (Peterheater (talk) 23:56, 20 November 2008 (UTC))

I also don't understand how ELLE MAGAZINE and PREMIERE MAGAZINE websites are 'attack site...' those are major publications. (Peterheater (talk) 23:59, 20 November 2008 (UTC))

• *Keep per referencing. Seems quite notable to me. ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:23, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
• Comment I'm not sure. Where are the references? ChildofMidnight (talk) 03:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

The 2 references have direct links to the magazine articles - ELLE/LUEL and PREMIERE. (Peterheater (talk) 07:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC))

CORRECTION... under external links. Thanks. (Peterheater (talk) 07:50, 21 November 2008 (UTC))

• Comment The external link for Premiere Magazine is still listed as an attack site. The second link is now available, however it does not appear to be Elle magazine's Korean edition (http://www.elle.co.kr/) as the ext. link denotes, but rather Luel which acts as the hosting website for Elle but is a separate entity. Because this is the only reference offered, and it is not in English, it needs to be clear how this relates as significant coverage. From the text of the biography as it is currently written, I am still unable to find any real assertion of notability. — CactusWriter | ^needles 07:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

how is PREMIERE MAGAZINE'S website an 'attack' website, it's one of the top publications in the world? and LUEL is the men's version of ELLE. (Peterheater (talk) 08:38, 21 November 2008 (UTC))

It is understood that Premiere is a large publication - however, it is the online host site which is limiting the access. Furthermore, Luel is not associated with Elle magazine, but rather is a Korea-only magazine produced by the same publishing house. The discussion here concerns 3 issues. 1) Access to information to allow verifiability. 2) Determination if it constitutes significant coverage. and 3) whether or not there is any degree of notability. It would be great if you could address these issues, because as yet there appears nothing of substance in the article which makes this person notable. — CactusWriter | ^needles 09:55, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

• Comment. Dunno what to say about this to be honest, though I'm leaning more towards "delete". I can't read the Korean links, but giving them the benfit of the doubt I would think that this is possibly just about enough to meet the basic criteria of WP:BIO. That said, I'm inclined to agree with the nominator that the article makes no real assertation of notability, that the achievements of this individual don't seem to be particuarly significant or noteworthy. I did, however, manage to find this English language interview. PC78 (talk) 19:02, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

DEAR WIKIPEDIA. I AM KYU LEE. I WAS TOLD BY SOME FRIENDS I WAS ON THIS SITE. I'D RATHER NOT BE ON THIS SITE DUE TO THAT FACT THAT I AGREE WITH MOST OF THE ABOVE. PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM THIS ASAP - THAT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED. I DO NOT NEED THIS KIND OF ATTENTION. THANK YOU. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.158.17 (talk) 11:01, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
