Comment. Prior to March 2022, the KBO League was part of WP:NBASEBALL such that appearing in even one game created a presumption of notability. However, that participation criteria was eliminated. That said, Seo Jin-yong has had an eight-year career as a pitcher in the KBO from 2015 to the present, appearing in 353 games and facing 1,557 batters with a 3.97 ERA. A google search turns up quite a bit -- see here. The Korean Wikipedia page can be found here. I don't have the language skills to analyze the sources and can only hope that we have someone who can analyze the coverage to help assess whether there's SIGCOV sufficient for a GNG pass.

Keep. 357 games in a top-level league like the KBO League cannot be ignored just because the sources aren't in English. Jacona (talk) 00:59, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
