Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 20:23, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources below which show notability. Giant Snowman 22:10, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - @GiantSnowman:, I found [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], and [8] among many more Korean sources. Young player with ongoing career and 45+ appearances in the fully pro Korean top flight and second tier. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 21:39, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this, Das osmnezz but I wasn't quite convinced to withdraw the AfD as I feel that most of these have insufficent depth of coverage to count towards meeting GNG, so failing the "multiple sources" requirement. 1 appears to be a blog - is there a reason to accept it as a suitable source? 2 is just comments after a match and the player saying he had been injured for two months. 3 is closer to meeting the criteria for supporting GNG but not quite there, IMO. 4 is fairly routine post-match coverage. 5 just reprints comments made in an interview. 6 is passing coverage. 7 does contribute to meeting GNG, IMO. 8 is very brief.

@BennyOnTheLoose, I would consider #7 to be routine transactional coverage (signings, departures, injuries, etc.) which does not contribute to GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 20:44, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@BennyOnTheLoose:, Besides the many sources above, I also found [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], and [16] among many more Korean sources. Young player with ongoing career and 45+ appearances in the fully pro Korean top flight and second tier. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 03:12, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify, perhaps? I feel like it would be a good compromise, as we could work more freely to rate @Das osmnezz:'s sources and expand the article. By the way, I've just added the infobox and a few more basic details, so the page isn't reduced to a bare couple of sentences, anymore. Oltrepier (talk) 10:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
