[edit] Song Lee

Close reading shows that this is a hoax, satirizing the poverty and isolation of North Korea. --Wetman 22:34, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

• Delete nn at least, possible hoax. --Etacar11 01:46, 30 July 2005 (UTC)
  • It is not a hoax. nn is just your opinion. Look at these: [1][2] North Korean musician category is non-existent and the people category has no musicians, so Song Lee is relatively notable. --AI 09:39, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
    • I've searched on "Song Lee" +"Potato Pride" and "Song Lee" +"Miso Soup" and have seen nothing to change my opinion. Basically nothing not associated with this Rob Pongi. If he's so famous, why is there nothing else to support this? You may disagree but my vote stays the same. I'm going to need promotion by more than one guy to decide he's notable. --Etacar11 22:29, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep not a hoax, not intended as cynical. Please read the argument against deletion on the discussion page of the article. 70.52.16.132

• Delete - advert for the web site. nothing to prove this is real. In fact, I think I remember this episode of South Park. - Tεxτurε 19:39, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Texture I'd like to know how you came to the conclusion that there is nothing to prove it is real. --AI 09:41, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • You were probably thinking of Wing, who BTW is real. --MarkSweep 17:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep not an advertisement, was never in South Park 64.229.132.36 19:50, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. According to User:70.52.16.132, "you were supposed to take it with a grain of salt". I also suspect some sock-puppetry here. Miso soup is a Japanese recipe, not Korean, but I'm not sure if that's relevant. Punkmorten 23:23, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep LOL it wasn't very hard to find evidence that Song Lee is a real musician from North Korea. Search google. Wikipedia need musicians, artists, scientists, etc to fill up the North Korean people categories, all there is now is government people. --AI 09:44, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
  • My computer is having trouble at the moment but all the links I can get to make it seem to me like this is just a joke. But after work I will double check again. --Etacar11 14:14, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Can anyone find any information on this not linked to "Rob Pongi" (pun on Roppongi?)? --MarkSweep 17:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Another comment: It would help if someone (perhaps the author of the article) could post the name in Hanja/Hangul, so that one could search for Korean sites which might mention him. --MarkSweep 23:10, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Yet another comment: A friend of mine has confirmed that the song is in fact Korean (although the text is Japanese). Punkmorten 18:04, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
