Keep Category:Lists of people by name has about a thousand articles in it. No difference between this and so many others. Start a RFC if you want to get rid of all of them. Dream Focus 02:28, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but rename List of people with the Korean surname Moon to be consistent with other lists. INDISCRIMINATE doesn't apply, and "unnecessary list" adds nothing by way of justification. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:49, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is the very definition of grouping people by shared name. Just because people have this last name does not mean they are overall related. Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and our early days were a lawless wild with no regulation of content. Having been around a while is in no way a sign that something is actually notable nor that we need an article on it.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:29, 10 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Same as before Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_people_with_the_Korean_family_name_Kim. I don't see the argument here. This article has been here for a long time and lists of notable people are allowed WP:LISTPEOPLE. This one is no different from other list of surname articles like List of people with surname Smith (in fact we have entire category of such articles Category:Lists_of_people_sharing_a_surname.

Keep Entirely standard practice to have articles listing people with the same surname, I see no rationale for why this one should be treated differently to e.g. List of people with surname Smith.----Pontificalibus 16:19, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
