A case of WP:TOOSOON (to add: Individual members of SF9, with the exception of Kang_Chan-hee, are NOT notable enough to have their own articles as their activities are exclusively within the group SF9 and nowhere else.) Tibbydibby (talk) 17:03, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @ Tibbydibby: WP:TOOSOON is not a policy-based reason for deletion, could the deletion rationale be expanded, please? Prima facie the article doesn't look like much, but a search for the Hangul 이상혁 reveals a lot of hits. I do not speak Korean, what do all these search results reveal? — Sam Sailor 20:38, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. Not independently notable outside of his group. — ξ ^xplicit 01:55, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to band article SF9 as a categorized {{R from member}}. Subject's name is a plausible search term, redirects are cheap, and redirecting rather than deleting is a policy based alternative that is supported by WP:MUSICBIO: Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band, such as solo releases. — Sam Sailor 03:59, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
