Cho Min academic credentials scandal → Cho Min – This article already is written like a WP:BLP, and it would be more helpful to treat it as such. Holidayruin (talk) 05:38, 12 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 17:02, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge article into Cho Kuk. This individual (and her academic scandal) is not significant enough to have a separate article. 〜Festucalex • talk • contribs 16:48, 12 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose rename and oppose merge. She is notable only for the credentials scandal, and therefore the article should not be written like a WP:BLP or be renamed to Cho Min. The Early years and Research in genetics and other academic achievements sections should be removed and they are undercited/lack any citations. However, the scandal itself is absolutely significant enough to warrant a separate article, and the scandal played an important role in the resignation of Cho Kuk, and the defeat of Moon Jae-in's Democratic Party, and the rise of Yoon Suk-yeol. :3 F4U (talk) 13:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chung Yoo-ra has her own article. As does Hwang Woo-suk and people like Valerie Plame. The list List of scientific misconduct incidents appears to generally list them by the person's name.

This article is already tagged as a BLP. My suggestion may be to make a separate article about the all scandals that occurred in 2019, such as Resignation of Cho Kuk or 2019 Cho Kuk scandals. Holidayruin (talk) 01:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Chung and Hwang meet Wikipedia guidelines on notability for things outside of their individual scandals and have their own articles. Cho is not. See WP:CRIME for guidelines on this. The article being tagged with the BLP policy has nothing to do with whether or not it should be written like a biography. BLP applies to all articles where the subject matter includes living persons. :3 F4U (they/it) 23:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually found a policy covering exactly what I'm talking about here, see WP:BIO1E. :3 F4U (they/it) 01:40, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
