Comment. Prior to March 2022, the KBO League was part of WP:NBASEBALL such that appearing in even one game created a presumption of notability. However, that participation criteria was eliminated. That said, Um Sang-back has had a seven-year career as a pitcher in the KBO from 2015 to the present, appearing in 232 games and facing 1,783 batters. A google search turns up quite a bit -- see here. The Korean Wikipedia page can be found here. I don't have the language skills to analyze the sources and can only hope that we have someone who can analyze the coverage to help assess whether there's SIGCOV sufficient for a GNG pass.

Comment 232 games and 1700 batters would suggest notability, that's a rather long career in any league Oaktree b (talk) 13:47, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
