Giant Snowman 18:06, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Redirect as above.  Played a 2 major tournaments so there should be sources, but none located.  Giant Snowman 18:09, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ Clariniie and GiantSnowman : What's wrong with this source?  It also mentions that there's apparently a story on him in the Choson Sinbo , although I can't find it.  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 19:14, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] One source on its own is insufficient.  Giant Snowman 19:45, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] @ GiantSnowman : Though, it seems to mention that there's another story on him in the Choson Sinbo ?  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 19:50, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] That story could be a 3,000 word overview, or it could be a 3 line puff piece.  Giant Snowman 20:35, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Possible, though, considering that we have already a pass of WP:SPORTCRIT (which states that it means more sigcov is 'likely'), the appearance of another offline newspaper article on him, and a top player for a very under-developed and difficult-to-find-sources-for nation, I'm not sure I see deletion as the best course of action.  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 21:00, 19 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep let's not be dumb here - he was in the 23-man squad for the World Cup for a country that is famously difficult to find sources for, there's one good article directly on him currently in the article, and the odds that there have been nothing else written about him are incredibly close to zero.  I know we've been eliminating bad sports stubs of late, but deleting this one makes absolutely no sense to me.  SportingFlyer T · C 22:55, 20 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep .  Convinced by SportingFlyer.  Also, not that it definitively establishes notability, but the fact that 21 other languages have articles on An should say something...  BeanieFan11 ( talk ) 23:05, 20 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep —I’m with the two above for the same reasons they expressed.  I’ve made this same argument before, especially in the relation to North Korea.  There are a bunch of largely useless North Korean articles around here, and I appreciate all the moves to delete them, but this one should not fall under that general umbrella.  Anwegmann ( talk ) 07:09, 21 June 2024 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : the article is now referenced and he took part in a football World Cup, besides playing for a long time for the national team.
