Singer of limited notability outside his group, 2PM. Tried redirecting to band page but was constantly reverted, so bringing here for resolution. Google search on "Lee Junho" -"2PM" shows a lot of unreliable fansites and social media, but no significant coverage from independent reliable sources. Google news search shows no results.

  • Google search on a celebrity is never wise. The popularity of 2PM is so widespread that you will only encounter various fansites and miscellaneous social media. (This could apply to other 2PM member Chansung who has not even been considered for deletion.) Try Google News for legitimate news on a celebrity instead of Google search. But using simply "Junho" would be better. His fans know him as "Junho" not "Lee Junho." I found a handful of sites searching "2PM Junho" on Google News. Another reason for lack of news may be that notable news can only be found in Korean. 2PM's success is mainly in Korea, and therefore a large amount of press cannot be expected on a member of foreign boy band. Nevertheless, he has become famous to K-Pop loving Americans as well as fans in other countries. His article in Wikipedia exists in five different languages (including the english one). Although user MikeWazowski is not convinced that he is notable, the sheer amount of fan pages that can be found should be proof enough that he is deserving of an article in Wikipedia. -SharonT (talk) 05:30, 29 November 2011 (UTC)— Pinkmango00 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
