• Keep, I found some sources: "masterfighting.com", "hankimuye.org" and "prabook.com". There are other sources I’m too lazy to find. - User: Brachy0008 (talk)
  • Delete Merge, per below. Brachy08 _(Talk) 07:34, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
• Delete Redirect to Hapkido#Myung Jae-Nam Completely fails GNG. The sources listed are not significant reliable and independent at all see below:

Sources listed by User: Brachy0008:

1. "masterfighting.com" Non-reliable source, blog site N
2. "hankimuye.org" non-independent, written by the governing body of his martial art N
3. "prabook.com" Blog site with a copy paste of wikipedia article. N

The two references in article:

1. Myung Jae Nam: Hankumdo-bub practice book. Book by the subject. non-independent N
2. 'Myung Sung Kwan: A Study on Hankido. Thesis by the subject's son. non-independent N

Good faith google search does not show significant reliable and indepedant sources. Lethweimaster (talk) 07:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

Courtesy ping to @Lethweimaster:, I found another source and you forgot to sign.

lowkickmma.com Mention of only 37 words. As suggested by WP:100WORDS this source doesn't count as significant coverage, and not the most reliable outlet as well, more like a martial arts blog. N

Then I’d change my vote Brachy08 _(Talk) 07:32, 10 August 2023 (UTC)

• Has anyone tried searching in Korean? Found some references including https://www.joongang.co.kr/article/3594825, http://www.wtu.kr/139 (apparently there is a statue to honor him), and http://www.mooye.net/8832, etc. There are probably more out there. But interestingly the Korean article for the subject is only a minimal stub which is far shorter and does not offer more references or material for translation. - Indefensible (talk) 00:20, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to Hapkido#Myung Jae-Nam. He already has a section in the main Hapkido article. I'll admit it seems that significant independent coverage is lacking, but he is clearly a significant figure in hapkido's history. Perhaps a few things can be added from the existing individual article to his section in the hapkido article, although I was bothered by the lack of significant independent coverage in the Hankido, Hankumdo, and International H.K.D. Federation articles. Anyway, I strongly believe the redirect is a better choice than outright deletion. Papaursa (talk) 14:18, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

  Agreed with Papaursa for Redirect. Lethweimaster (talk) 14:42, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

• Merge the picture and references to Hapkido#Myung Jae-Nam per Papaursa. - Indefensible (talk) 16:39, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
• Redirect to Hapkido. No independent merit here, as also acknowledged above. -The Gnome (talk) 12:14, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
