The reviewer, User:SamHolt6 , published a helpful rationale for decline, noting that many sources are hard to verify. This is true - up to a point. I was able to verify one ([1]) and I have no reason to expect the rest would be hoaxes. The problem is that the creator did a cardinal sin of murderinzg the references by 1) translating them to English and 2) not providing original Korean name nor links. So of course attemtping to verify whether a reference "Kim, Pyo-hyang. “Baboaje by Yu Sun-ha Wins EBS Radio Literary Award.” Chosun Ilbo, December 11, 2013" exists is hard, as a google search for it procudes nothing but Wikipedia mirrors, since google doesn't understand that is Kim, Pyo-hyang is 김표향 or 'Baboaje by Yu Sun-ha Wins EBS Radio Literary Award' is 유순하 작가 '바보아재', EBS 라디오 문학상 대상 수상 and so on. Pretty much all the refs used are Korean, and they need to re-Koreanized (and linked). If some are offline, like the newspapers from the 80s, this is... very challenging. Unfortunately, my Korean is only rudimentary and fixing all the references would be very time consuming, but if most other drafts have the same problem, well, it is fixable, and the topics appear to be notable, and I support mainspaciong them promptly. I would do it myself but I find draft-related procedures arcane so I am afraid to tackle them (outside just deleting all the draft code and moving the article 'the normal way'). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 06:13, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
