Seems like a product of WP:FANCRUFT and holds close to no encyclopedic value at all. Many of the article's contents have also been covered in the main article, K-pop, to some extent (it is almost the whole basis of the "Popularity and impact" section. Article also has many, many issues. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 10:42, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Article seems well-sourced, I think it was an off-shoot of the main Kpop article. Oaktree b (talk) 14:08, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom (seriously, still, does that mean "what you said"?). AdoTang (talk) 14:39, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The main K-pop is more thorough in describing the international influence and influencing effect of K-pop, but this article seems to have cherry-picked all the cruftiest parts and doesn't add encyclopedic content. It's possible that it was created as a content fork to support the original creator's other article Areia Creations Global Entertainment but likely got filled-in by well-meaning folks over time and might need a spot-check for any decent facts to merge. Personally, I feel like the subject could warrant a page, but this is TNT-level inadequate. Estheim (talk) 22:02, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Looking back through the article history I came to much the same conclusion. It's all based upon a single company's marketing claim (Special:Permalink/596025896), and at certain points in the article's history that was even taken out, leaving no basis at all.

Merge with Korean Pop and add a paragraph about it there. It doesn't need whole page. Expertwikiguy (talk) 08:51, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Global K-Pop is a notable subgenre of its own. There is so much content that merging would be completely impractical, and deleting would only be detrimental to readers. Leguminously (talk) 10:07, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
