Nim ui Chimmuk

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Contested PROD. While the version I originally tagged consisted almost entirely of the text of the poem (being of dubious copyright status), this version now indicates just that the poem exists and was written by its author. I admit I have no Korean abilities, which may also impact my ability to find other transliterations of the title, but a check I made at the time of tagging didn't give anything beyond the poem's existence, which isn't notability.

Delete - one peripheral reference does not establish notability.--Rpclod (talk) 02:49, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As I said when I deprodded notability is clear from the English-language sources found by Google Books and Scholar searches, for example,

"most Korean people remember him as much for being the great poet who authored Nim ui chimmuk",

"he is best known for his work Nim-ui Chimmuk",

"The best works that were produced during this time, for example “Jindalaekkot” (Azalea Flowers) by Kim Sowol, “Nim-ui chimmuk” (The Silence of Love) by Han Yong-un...".

To respond to the sources you've provided, the first appears to be a passing mention of the author of the poem. The author has his own article as it stands, since he did a number of things in his lifetime. The second is much the same, a comment that the author himself is notable, but a passing mention that he also wrote this particular poem. The third is a mention in a footnote in a broader discussion of Korean literature, which at least has the advantage of not solely being about the author and his extra-poetic activities. I'm not convinced, though, that a scholarly aside amounts to more than a peripheral mention. Even if it did, notability still requires multiple reliable sources providing significant coverage.

Delete. inappropriate content for an encyclopedia article. Anyway, almost certainly a copyvio. The title can be used as a redirect to the author. DGG ( talk ) 00:35, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
