The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. After being relisted twice there isn't a consensus to delete. Further, @IronGargoyle: makes some valid points regarding it passing WP:GNG. No prejudice towards speedy renomination if an individual who speaks Korean is unable to come up with sourcing. (non-admin closure) Dusti*Let's talk!* 00:39, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Does not appear to meet WP:NOTABILITY. This was prodded, but removed as editor said there seem to be sources in Korean. I found an external link in the German-language article (which just confirms its existence, not its notability). The French-language version has only a dead link as a reference. Has been tagged for notability for over six years, unresolved. Boleyn (talk) 19:21, 30 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong keep. This is the first of a particular coaster type in a country. It is a major coaster that is not mass-produced. The article already has a reliable, independent source in RCDB.com. To find the other articles on the coaster you actually have to do a Google search using Korean characters (파에톤 "롤러 코스터"). Chrome's auto-translate tool is particularly crappy with Korean, so I can't make much use of these sources, but I imagine that an editor who was more familiar with Korean would be able to put them to good use. Here is a selection of examples that seem to be from independent (and, as best as I can tell, reliable) sources: [1], [2]. IronGargoyle (talk) 22:42, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
