Weak delete - Jinpyo is a name used by other individuals later as well so that potentially obfuscates any results about this individual. I see a lot of search results mentioning this article's subject building, rebuilding, or expanding temples, but nothing that goes into any detail about the individual himself. However, sources may very well exist, but just in a way that I cannot access. I did find some potential books that I couldn't access that may or may not go into detail about this individual, and as an 8th-century Korean monk it's reasonable to assume that sources may exist in Korean that remain inaccessible to me due to a language barrier. However I can't argue that an article should be kept because I think reliable sources might exist that show notability, so until notability can be established I don't think there should be an article about this individual, not least of all because without sufficient sources there's no guarantee that the details in the article are even correct. If sources can be found, please ping me and I will be glad to reassess, but from what I can find WP:GNG isn't met. - Aoidh (talk) 20:35, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
