This article, while mentioning that the book received an award, does not appear to pass Wikipedia:Notability (books) since the literary award is not claimed to be major; indeed, it is not stated what the award even is. Reaper Eternal (talk) 14:09, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ah, According to Kim Dong-in, "In 1955, the magazine World of Thoughts (Sasanggye) created the Dong-in Literature Prize to commemorate Kim's literary achievements[14]."
  • Google Translate tells me that page says, "Services are very sorry for the inconvenience. The page you requested has been misspelled or the address of an address change, or delete pages, due to Is unavailable. The requested page address, please check again. If you continue to have the same problem Customer Center , please contact us. Thank you." In other words, the page doesn't seem to say what you thought it should. Can you check the link?

  • If the sole issue at hand here is notability, I should mention that there is now a Wikipedia page for the Dong-in Literary Award, which is relatively major, and this book is now linked from that page. I've also cleaned up a bit of grammar, but that seems incidental? Ccmontgom (talk) 03:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep the Dong-in Literary Award is a major award in Korea, so this book clears the notability guidelines. Francis Bond (talk) 23:06, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep- After checking inside Wikipedia and outside, as far as I can tell, this was not 'a major award in Korea', it was the only literary award in Korea from 1956 until 1977 (the establishment of the Yi Sang Literary Award. The article definitely needs work though, so I've started the hunt for my Korean/English dictionary, and will see what I can add from its ko. article. If the article is kept, I will work on it further. Dru of Id (talk) 04:01, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have no objections to keeping this article now that notability has been established. However, I would like to see sources added to the article. Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:35, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
