The result was merge‎ to South Korea–Uruguay relations. as I don't think a third relisting will clarify the situation. And if non-English sources can't be used to establish SIGCOV, I'd like to see where that is mentioned in policy. I think there would be significant pushback as I'm guessing the majority of editors here have a facility in additional languages besides English. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:22, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This intersecting ethnicity has some sources, but at 130 people I just don't see the notability beyond trivial information, i.e. most capitals probably have a Korean restaurant. Geschichte (talk) 14:04, 19 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to South Korea–Uruguay relations. Side note, but I made a solid effort to find WP:SIGCOV in the Korean language about the Korean population in Uruguay and struggled to do so. Some of the Spanish-language refs on the article are actually pretty substantial discussions of the population. toobigtokale (talk) 06:15, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or merge Officially, SIGCOV has to be in English. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 22:39, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have a different understanding; WP:SIGCOV seems to say Sources do not have to be available online or written in English. Multiple publications from the same author or organization are usually regarded as a single source for the purposes of establishing notability. There's also this essay WP:SBEXTERNAL that I agree with. If sigcov really excluded non-English sources, I'd push back hard against the policy, and I think I wouldn't be alone. Most of my writing would get deleted overnight, and I'd like to think some of the things I cover that are only covered in Korean are interesting and important. toobigtokale (talk) 22:52, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

To be fair, I've made the same mistake. These non-English articles can be translated. Conyo14 (talk) 18:59, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comments - I see some issues, but are they irredeemable? Bearian (talk) 20:07, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The article itself is ok enough, the issue is WP:NOTABILITY. toobigtokale (talk) 12:18, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
