Can't find any reliable source coverage of this person. Soompi doesn't appear to be a reliable source given that it has 6 staff writers and a "number of contributors", and I couldn't find much else in terms of English language sources. It may be that Korean language sources exist, but I haven't been able to judge that one way or the other. Sam Walton (talk) 09:46, 16 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that this article should be deleted. It is informative and I note that within WikiProject Korea it is classed C. Maybe it would be better to tag it for additional sources, rather than delete. Regards Denisarona (talk) 05:55, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey everyone. My profile is Gevlare. I don't understand how to join that discuss in appropriate way so I decided to put my opinion here. Do not delete Yiruma page. He is one of the greatest modern compositor. He is well known all around the world and article about him just must be at wikipedia! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gevlare (talk • contribs) 19:33, 26 September 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article should be deleted, I enjoy listening to the music of Yiruma. I dont understand why the entry would fall short of wikipedia standards. what does 'can't find any reliable source coverage' mean ? is the suggestion that this person does not exist ? 290,000 people like his facebook page, his youtube channel has some of his bio and 33 million people have watched the content posted there. I listen to his music on spotify and he has 255,000 followers there. (PTasker) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.144.251.3 (talk) 09:42, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Nomination is inherently systematically biased. There are a handful of sources: interviews about his childhood and adolescence, career, his ten-year anniversary, articles covering his albums, his performances, and so on. Clearly a notable individual, just a terrible article. — ξ ^xplicit 07:38, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The article about Yiruma is quite good but there is not enough sourced references about biography and more. I found more information about Yiruma with other portal website, it was easy to find the biography. We have following sources. [1] Also, I found an website that part of biography on wikipedia about yiruma seems similar. [2] I thought the article about yiruma is translated from this website, but it looks not. It would be better that add more sourced references of all detailed information about Yiruma.--Misokkkim (talk) 02:47, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This is clearly notable and in need of improvement. Sawol (talk) 00:59, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree the sources are a mess and the bio section isn't great but the bottom line here is that this person is famous. He is well known musician in Korea and the international modern-classical music scene so it's understandable that the original poster might not know him if they aren't into that kind of music. So even the though sources aren't great if you type "river flows in you cover" into YouTube you will get at least 100,000 video results. People know him and his music.
