No indication of notability, mostly unsourced, poorly written seefooddiet (talk) 07:43, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bilateral relations and South Korea. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 08:58, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Looks like an essay. Poorly sourced. LibStar (talk) 10:14, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete the only two sources are for content that can be categorized as trivia. The rest is badly written and some content seems unconnected to the subject. Paprikaiser (talk) 21:30, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• AFD participants who do not look for sources themselves are barely doing even a third of a proper job. Three of them together show how few people do this properly. We're supposed to be double-checking, not playing follow-the-leader or looking at bad articles and taking them at face value. This is fairly obviously a stub with clear scope for both cleanup and expansion. We Keep those. Uncle G (talk) 08:17, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Point taken but mind the condescension. seefooddiet (talk) 09:29, 30 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, SIGCOV of this topic found by Uncle G - it's clearly notable. RebeccaGreen (talk) 10:39, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Keep. Sources are trivial to find e.g. [1] 2 3 by just copy-pasting the article title into a search engine, including articles by peer-reviewed scientific journals. It's pretty clear that no BEFORE was done here. Cortador (talk) 12:58, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, agreed with the more recent comments regarding WP:BEFORE being inadequately performed after a google review. The sources that are extant more than meet WP:SIGCOV and the article should be kept. Iljhgtn (talk) 15:38, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the nominator; think there's a strong argument for keep. seefooddiet (talk) 16:40, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
