  • Comment Unsure, there is a Spanish book that needs translating that mentions him [1], there are two newspaper articles that need checking on [2], [3], I am not a member of newspaperarchive. But being North Korean, it might be hard to find those sources. Govvy (talk) 07:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Helpfully, all three of these sources are saying the same thing. I also don't have a newspaperarchive subscription but you can view the the OCR text by clicking the "OCR" button on the page. Here is the Jasper Dubois County Daily Herald passage (with weird OCR case errors preserved): the International soccer federation suspended North korean an Gil wan for a year for attacking the referee during a game the koreans lost to the soviet Union. The federation warned the entire team As to its future conduct. Some version of this brief squib was carried in newspapers around the world (here it is in a Cambridgeshire UK newspaper). It could certainly be argued to be of encyclopedic significance, perhaps meriting a mention in Football at the 1976 Summer Olympics. But since that seems to have been the beginning and end of press coverage of Mr. An, it doesn't really furnish much to build an article out of.-- Visviva (talk) 01:11, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Ideally this would be redirected to Football at the 1976 Summer Olympics where there could be a brief mention of the fracas and An's suspension. But looking at the article I'm not quite sure where it would go, and I don't have the topical expertise to judge if the event is sufficiently significant to include at all. Otherwise there appear to be no plausible redirection targets, so if not redirected, delete. (I am a fluent reader of Korean and anticipated finding something about this fellow but wasn't able to come up with much; the top hit on Naver was actually a word-for-word translation of the EN article, complete with hatnote about Korean name order (!).) -- Visviva (talk) 01:11, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    As a note for anyone who wants to check further, the Korean name should be 안길완 (or conceivably the more common 안길원 if there was a romanization error; that one is shared by some fairly prominent South Korean folks). -- Visviva (talk) 02:38, 23 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
