Appears to be WP:BLP1E. Can't find anything else terribly notable about this judge in reliable sources. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:11, 10 April 2010 (UTC) ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:11, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I can see why you'd think BLP1E, but he appears to have presided over two landmark trials and won an award from the President of Korea. That sound like evidence of notability to me. ALI ^{nom nom} 02:21, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The "Moran Medal" appears to be given to many people for civil merit, and not highly notable. In fact, the "Moran" is a 2nd class medal. The 1st class is called the "Mugunghwa Medal." In terms of judging trials, that is just a normal activity for any judge. The media coverage just mentions him in passing as a judge of those trials - that is not something unique for a judge.

Keep - Noted judge in internationally prominent case - mentioned in the international press - recognised as notable by the Moran medal. (Msrasnw (talk) 09:24, 10 April 2010 (UTC))[reply]
Comment The bulk of the material added in an attempt to establish notability in this diff [1] is not about O-Gon Kwon. It is about the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia and about the Srebrenica’s massacre. While that content may be appropriate for articles on those topics, it appears to highlight the fact that O-Gon Kwon has notability from WP:BLP1E. The bulk of coverage of the tribunal and the trials associated with it either make no reference to Kwon, or mention him in passing as a judge associated with it. There appears to not be enough unique information highlighting his specific notability other than passing references associated with these.

Keep. Being a judge of such seniority is notable. Notable in the sense of "worthy of note". Sources that verify his judicial positions are sufficient to form the basis of an article. --Mkativerata (talk) 17:31, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per User: ali. Also his contrubutions and accomplishments at the national and international level is highly noteworthy. Steve Quinn (formerly Ti-30X) (talk) 23:34, 10 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
