There is no significance or anyone will see any notability for this article/list to exist. Do we need to create new pages for everything? At most, the content of this page can be included in actor's main article page → Lee Min-ho (actor). -ink&fables «talk» 11:45, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Why this page should be deleted?

1. Out of all the statues mentioned in the list, first two are already mentioned on actor's page. See the 2nd paragraph.

2. Other statues are completely based on unreliable sources.

a) For the statue at the Madame Tussauds, Beijing; it is sourced to JoinusWorld which is a question/answer website.

b) For others; it is sourced to YouTube channels which are neither official channels of Museums nor of any news agency. You can further see this discussion for what I want to convey: Can a youtube video be used as a source, when there is no version from any reliable source -ink&fables «talk» 13:24, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Lee Min-ho – the content is so short it can be explained with just a few sentences in the main article. – Teratix ₵ 12:23, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Teratix; I will request you to reconsider your verdict, as now I have added statements in support which also objects the option of merger. Thank you. -ink&fables «talk» 13:30, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Don't Merge Its already five locations currently and it is set to be expanded in the future we need list article Myhometownkorea (talk) 12:42, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. The list clearly fails WP:NLIST: there is no evidence that the set of statues is notable as a set.
At least one item on the list is sourced to reliable sources, so the list should be merged to the main article, where editors can assess how much prominence to give it and which items should be removed as unreliably sourced. it is highly unlikely that this list could ever be expanded to the point where it cannot be summarised in two or three lines, so there is no risk that a brief mention of the statues will overwhelm the main article.

Disclosure: the nominator notified me[1] of this discussion because I was the only person other than the creator to have edited the page. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:08, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - all info that can be sourced has already been mentioned and reliably sourced in the main article; there is no content worth saving here; no point in redirecting either as it's not a likely search term Spiderone 14:50, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Procedural note. the article's creator @Myhometownkorea has:

inappropriately WP:CANVASSed me[2] with a non-neutral message
removed the AFD banner from the article[3], even though that notice clearly says "this notice must not be removed until the discussion is closed"

I see that @Myhometownkorea is a new editor, still learning how en.wp works ... but I hope that they will exercise more self-restaint whilst learning. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:36, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Fails SAL. I really don't see the point in a merge or a redirect as all the notable info is already present in the main article, with refs. TheRedDomitor (talk) 16:07, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - This is not a reasonable WP:SPLIT from the main article on Lee Min-ho, where the topic of his wax figures is already covered. Most of the sources here do not appear to be reliable sources so merger is unadvised, and this would not be a particularly useful search term for a redirect.

Delete Not enough importance to warrant own article. Mohanabhil (talk) 17:04, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
This AFD looks like using a wrecking ball to swat a gnat. Really all that need be said is that the information could be summarized in the parent article in a single sentence. Given that we're dealing with two notable wax museum chains, it's also a waste of time to complain about present sourcing. postdlf (talk) 19:14, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The article does not fit to stand on its own as it's already mentioned in the main article and some sources are unreliable. KRtau16 (talk) 19:53, 24 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
