[edit] Jang Keum-song

Jang Keum-song (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The only apparent claim to notability is that she's the niece of Kim Jong-il, which doesn't seem to be enough to satisfy WP:BIO. PC78 13:59, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Korea-related deletions. -- PC78 14:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, notability is not inherited. --Huon 22:04, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep (as article creator), notability may not be inherited but it is certainly established by multiple instances of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, such as those cited in the article and which the nominator gives no valid reason for discounting. Incidentally, notability is inherited in the case of royalty; IMO the Kim clan, as the world's only example of hereditary succession in a communist regime and a large proportion of upper positions in the NK government, are close enough to royalty as makes no difference, but of course this point is more debatable. cab 02:04, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete looks to me like the english ref is about her death, which would kind of fall under WP:NOT#NEWS and not really notable for anything else. A merge+redirect to another article might be sufficient Corpx 02:39, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Chang Sung-taek (her father) would probably be the best target for a merge. cab 03:08, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: I don't know about the Korean ref, but the English article is merely a short account of her suicide, which again is hardly notable in itself. Hereditary succession or not, North Korea has no royal family, ergo she cannot be considered as royalty. At best I can't see the potential for anything other than a short stub here, and the Chang Sung-taek article already seems to have just as much infomation about her as this one does.
