Not enough sources/anyone talking about it. Heyandwhoa (talk) 22:12, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Music and Korea. Deltaspace⁴² (talk • contribs) 22:33, 12 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I have found and added a source, and suspect that there are more to be found. BD2412 T 02:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose [1] in the Encyclopedia of Korean Culture, [2], [3], [4] toobigtokale (talk) 11:02, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Toobigtokale: Can these sources perhaps be added to the article, with the points of information that they present? BD2412 T 21:00, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I generally try to prioritize time by prominence as there's so many under-reported Korea topics, and I think this instrument is obscure. I can add a bit from one source if that helps toobigtokale (talk) 23:04, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done toobigtokale (talk) 23:12, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, per improvements to the article and sources identified by toobigtokale. BD2412 T 15:09, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Traditional Korean musical instruments#Clay instruments (properly sourced content) where it has an existing entry. If the subject grows into an stand alone article the history will be preserved, but there is not enough properly sourced content to merit a stand alone article. If I missed something, post the best WP:THREE IS RS with SIGCOV and ping me. // Timothy :: talk 05:01, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm still looking through Korean-language sources, but if it were to be merged, wouldn't Fou (instrument) be a better candidate to be merged to? ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 13:15, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It could also merge with Onggi, since that's the pot that is being repurposed here as an instrument. ~ F4U (talk • they/it) 13:31, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why merge, if there are sources to support a separate article on the instrument as an instrument? BD2412 T 17:17, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think merging to Fou is the most plausible, although I think a merge isn't needed because it has separate notability in its usage in specifically Korean Confucian rituals, as well as its notability in Korean-lang sources. toobigtokale (talk) 01:52, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It's clear from the sources above (one being an encyclopedia article) that the topic is notable and could merit a standalone article. Debates about where to merge the content (if desired) could continue after the AfD. (Personally, I think Traditional Korean musical instruments would be the best place, but I'm not opposed to maintaining this stub.) -- asilvering (talk) 23:06, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting, continuing the discussion on whether this should be a standalone article or merged with a target article (and there are several suggestions here)
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 23:11, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There's a bit more here than there is for most isntruments in the article on Korean musical instruments. Cortador (talk) 23:22, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
