Article fails WP:NOTABILITY Hu12 (talk) 19:05, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep Easily verifiable, easily meets notability. http://www.denverpost.com/newsheadlines/ci_7171426 clearly demonstrates this, and was on the first page of googling his name in quotes. Very notable. Also, articles don't have to qualify as "notable", only the person they are about. Pharmboy (talk) 20:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. I added a second newspaper story about the same event, so now I believe it meets the minimum requirement of multiple reliable secondary sources. And I think it's an interesting story. But I'm unsure whether two local news pieces about the unveiling of a plaque in his memory are really enough, and I couldn't find anything more, neither under this name nor under Hee Byung Park. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:33, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. While the news articles might put this past the notability guideline, I don't think they prove it's more than a simple news item. But my reservations there would be quelled by a single non-local news story (or other coverage). I searched myself but was unable to find anything new.

  • Keep Seems notable, given that South Korea's Ministry of Patriots' and Veterans' Affairs has noticed him [1]. cab (talk) 01:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Korea-related deletions. cab (talk) 01:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment.. Seems quite a bit has occured on the page, for the better! in light of David Eppstein and CaliforniaAliBaba edits, I move to withdraw, appears WP:NOTABILITY has been met.--Hu12 (talk) 03:28, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
