António Corea
- ... that the first Korean to ever visit Europe was possibly the slave António Corea? Source: [1]
The Rome-based reporter said he may have found the living descendants of Antonio Corea, who was believed to be the first Korean man in Europe.
Created by Toobigtokale (talk). Self-nominated at 11:12, 9 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/António Corea; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is new enough and long enough. The article is a great story and is certainly presentable. I was able to find the quote that the hook is based on in the linked article, but I am somewhat dubious of it. The authors don't give attribution as to who exactly believes Antonio was the first Korean in Europe. I'm also not familiar with "JoongAng Daily", and I just want to confirm it has justification for use as a reliable source. It would be great if you could include the historical research article that actually proposes the theory that Antonio was the first, in addition to this news piece. Further, I'd like to recommend the following ALT hook to improve readability:
- ALT1: ...that António Corea may have been the first Korean to visit Europe?
- Please drop me a ping when you respond to the aforementioned issues, and we'll get this nomination through! Fritzmann (message me) 17:38, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the review! Korea JoongAng Daily is the English-language version of JoongAng Ilbo, considered one of the most prominent newspapers in South Korea. The English-language version isn't known for having a particular political bias, especially for topics like these. For an alternate source, check out this academic book: [2].
- I think the detail about him being a slave is what makes the hook interesting. Can we use:
- ALT2: ...that the slave António Corea may have been the first Korean to visit Europe?

looks good! I missed that you cited the article in addition to the news site, that's my bad. ALT2 is all set, congrats! Fritzmann (message me) 23:05, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
