@Indo360, Cukie Gherkin, and Royiswariii: Seems there's some concern about the quality of the article, AI, bad sources, etc. Would love to see the page kept and improved. Thoughts on next steps and ways to improve? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:00, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: It's not my intention for this article to stay a redirect. I have a draft here: User:Cukie Gherkin/Hwang In-ho, including some sources. I'm focused on User:Cukie Gherkin/Kang Sae-byeok at the moment, but if anyone was interested in expanding, I could do a source search for content. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 15:04, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Cukie Gherkin Why do you keep redirecting the page then? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:01, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Because there is not presently evidence that the character is notable. The Reception section has made up links and made up reception, created using AI. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 16:04, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So help establish notability and remove the offending content! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:05, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed 4 or 5 bad sources. I hope this helps. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:07, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In removing the bad content, the article now failed a mandatory thing that all fictional character articles must have: assertions of notability according to WP:GNG. That's my point about all this. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 16:08, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am finding more sources to incorporate, a few of which I've just added. I'd prefer to see this article kept in the main space for development, especially since multiple editors have worked on the entry recently. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 16:34, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
