Human Rights Award of Korea[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No third-party reliable sources to indicate how this award meets WP:GNG notability. One of several walled-garden-ish articles created by a blocked sockpuppet apparently part of an attempt to promote a recipient of this award. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 04:14, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Daily NK is the third-party source. It is also awarded by South Korean government. What needs to be more notable than that in order to recognize the notablity? -- Shyoon1 (talk) 22:02, 4 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete TheDailyNK printed an article on it because of the person that won it that year was working on North Korean human rights. Not because the award itself is independently significant. I feel it's not because there are only 3 sources for this award that has been going on for 9 years, 2 of them referring to the same year one of them about Peter Park, who is currently suspected of making a vanity page for himself. (If he has I can see how he won all these non notable awards, he puts in a lot of effort.) But Even if he hasn't, I can dig up 9 sources for my local 4H clubs annual blue ribbon winners for the past 9 years, I feel a national award that is supposedly notable should be able to do that much.

Keep 149 articles with the award's Korean name 대한민국인권상 appearing in the title at Naver News search [1]. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 14:21, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Per Wikipedia:Arguments_to_avoid_in_deletion_discussions#Google_test, that doesn't mean much of anything. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:32, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - 149 articles from newspapers where the name of the topic appears in the title is a prima facie indication of significant coverage in reliable sources. WP:GOOGLEHITS warns against the use of raw web search result counts and specifically mentions news search engines as a helpful alternative. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 00:45, 7 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Seems to be compelling evidence that there are more than sufficient Korean language sources for 대한민국인권 상 to merit a GNG pass. For what it is worth, Ko-WP has an article on the award with a lengthy list of recipients which include activists, academics, and NGOs. Carrite (talk) 22:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
