Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ryu Sera

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 no consensus. I can't really justify closing as "keep" as only Mast3r has really given a confident decision to do so; however the net effect is the same, so it's not a major issue. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:06, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, besides her popular involvement in Nine Muses, Sera has recently renewed activites under a new label. I will provide a list of relevant recent solo activites and a few supporting secondary published sources each:

Sunshower concert held in June 2018 – TenAsia News1 Yonhap News kpopping and more
Stay Real album release in March – allkpop 1 allkpop 2 and more
Founding OCTO – News1 Naver kpopviral and more
Spring Rain concert in March – topstarnews and others
Older: Serenade concert, album etc. – allkpop wikitree TenAsia and others
Other recent articles/interviews:
- February festival appearance alongside Bewhy – Christian Today
- interview for sellev. about new activites and direction – interview link, articles spawned from it: Hankyoreh and more
- interview for DioDeo – interview link
- article on unpublished song release – kpopstarz
- articles on similarities with her brother, owning an iguana and more trivia articles
- etc.
More activities are soon to come, with another expected release this fall.

I could provide more, that's just what to came to mind at this moment. And of course, there are heaps of personal articles from her involvement in Nine Muses, but those are better searched under "nine muses sera".

The article in its current form is outdated, incomplete and under construction, so it shouldn't be used to judge. But I'm glad we can entertain the notability question now, before more effort is expended on it. Mast3r (talk) 21:21, 5 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Beetstra: Hi, sorry for bothering. But I don't know if you're watching this page and I wanted to ask what you think :) I want to start reworking the article so I'm looking for opinions. Thank you. Mast3r (talk) 12:57, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just rework the article and get it to standard. --Dirk Beetstra ^{T C} 17:20, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Without use of bolded !votes, my reading of this is a fairly balanced short discussion at the moment, so I feel a relist is warranted

Redirect: South Korean singer who fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:WOMEN. Likely best to revert back to redirect to Draft:Ryu Sera. AaronWikia (talk) 04:25, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Satisfies the WP:MUSICBIO criterion 1, per sources covered in WP:KO/RS. Mast3r (talk) 13:12, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
tentative inclination to Keep: There appear to be a number of sources, but it is hard for me to tell if the Korean sources are independent, reliable secondary sources. If someone wants to assert that the sources are not WP:RS and why they are not WP:RS, I will reconsider. --David Tornheim (talk) 07:42, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
