Delete - no evidence of notability. If sources are found please ping me. Giant Snowman 19:41, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per new sources below. AGF and trusting they show the significant coverage claimed. Giant Snowman 07:31, 29 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sources have been found @GiantSnowman. He was the joint head coach of the united Korean youth football team in 1991 which received significant, continuing coverage. Here are multiple instances of coverage: [1], [2], [3], [4], etc. :3 F4U (they /it) 12:45, 28 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, GiantSnowman, the sources from above are definitely not SIGCOV: 1) merely repeats what Ahn said with zero coverage of him N; 2) is a single trivial mention N; 3) is a rehash of a press release from NK stating it had given Ahn an award, with no SIGCOV of him to boot N; 4) is a trivial mention plus a quote in a news broadcast transcript N. JoelleJay (talk) 21:16, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@JoelleJay I apologize regarding the first source, I was under the impression that SIGCOV of his coaching strategy was equivalent to SIGCOV of An himself. I've found a more in-depth source about Coach An himself [5]. I'm sure I can find more, there's a lot of sourcing on him. :3 F4U (they /it) 13:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please find more sources, and in future do not present trivial sources as significant. Giant Snowman 15:59, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - If he represented during the 1976 Olympics, I'd say he's notable. More citations on him and his coverage is definitely needed though IowaBird (talk) 19:26, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Commment I've just discovered something. An Se-uk <- This is the same guy. The articles need to merged together. :3 F4U (they /it) 15:22, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The merged title should be An Se-uk following MOS:KO which states that we should use MR romanization when there's no accepted English common name. :3 F4U (they /it) 15:25, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I think An Se-uk should be a redirect to here, Since this page has more info IowaBird (talk) 19:21, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Per F4U. Clearly significant figure in North Korean football. Thanks, Das osmnezz (talk) 16:46, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per sources showing GNG being passed (threshold for 1970s North Korean footballers must be taken into account), and merge with An Se-uk as it is the same guy. Paul Vaurie (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Three deletes, four keeps, and a merge - I don't see a clear consensus here. Relisting for a second time to hopefully garner some more discussion.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dusti ^{*Let's talk!*} 11:17, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If kept, there's already a clear consensus for a merge because the two articles are about the same person. Really what we're discussing here is whether or not both An Se-wook and An Se-uk should be deleted. :3 F4U (they /it) 18:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article in the Korea wikipedia only mentions him, but because he was the coach of a combined Korean team in 1991, he comes up a lot, and not as a WP:BLP1E. He's also from a place where it's difficult to get information about. This will probably always be a stub, but there's enough out there for a good encyclopedia article. It should also be merged - I have no opinion on which article gets merged where, just that we maintain all the information here. SportingFlyer T·C 20:33, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist. I'd like to see if there is more support for a Merger.

Comment - @Liz: if the result is keep, you can close it now. A merger will have to be performed, it's not a question of discussion, there are currently two articles for the same person. Paul Vaurie (talk) 19:38, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly this. I did already state this above, but we currently have two duplicative articles about the same person (because his name can be romanized in more than one way). :3 F4U (they /it) 13:14, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
