I have been unable to locate significant reliable source coverage to establish notability at a level of WP:GNG. Perhaps there are some independent reliable sources that feature him in Korean, and I will be happy to change my !vote upon seeing such. I have been unable to locate them in English.

• Weak keep- Name in Hangul (written Korean language) is 강유택 . Unreferenced article in ko.wiki [http://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/%EA%B0%95%EC%9C%A0%ED%83%9D here] has existed days shy of a year. The notice at top is an arbitration committee election notice, not an AfD. Earliest found mention by independent RS, national The Chosun Ilbo (Korea Daily News) [http://news.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/03/22/2011032200001.html here], mangled by translation confirms participation in event, (then) ranked 14th by the national governing body, and top prize for event (won by someone else) c. $20,000, showing professional level. Already 20 by Korean age, turns 20 by Western notation in November, don't see difference as errors or other person; reported in other venues as youngest current 4th dan player, has time to become youngest ever ranked 5th or above by modern rating. I know the weakness of the 'sources must exist' position, but with the language hurdle... Dru of Id (talk) 22:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

• Delete. Not enough coverage. Yaron K. (talk) 14:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
• Keep Considering Go's popularity in Korea, coverage is bound to be there. [http://www.hani.co.kr/arti/sports/baduk/469346.html This piece] in The Hankyoreh, a popular Korea daily, profiles him. I'm sure there is more coverage. The Interior (Talk) 18:33, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
