Can't find much evidence that Palgeocheon is a notable river. Then again, it may be in Korea, but I cannot find any English articles covering it.

Delete, possibly even speedy delete under A11 I applied
WP:BEFORE, but I failed to see any sources that talks about it. I looked at the given citation and it's an encyclopedia where people can create articles about things, just like Wikiepdia. Looks like it's made up, which would mean it violates A11. Nevertheless, the article fails
WP:GNG and
WP:GEOLAND. INeed

Keep it appears to exist and have a name and there's a
source to show it exists and based on what
Spinningspark says, there's likely other sources out there that anglophones just have trouble understanding. This is pretty firmly in the zero harm is done in keeping and time is wasted by deleting class of articles.

Don't bring me into it, I implied no such thing. If that's what I thought I would have !voted keep. The source you link is apparently user generated and therefore not RS, possibly even created by the same person as our article. The gbook hits could mean anything; part of another word or a completely different context. Without a Korean speaker to assess them they mean nothing. Having said that, it likely does exist, but the picture shows it is a ditch+ so finding sources will be hard.

Spinningspark, I never said keep per you, I said there are likely other sources based on what you say. I was drawing my own conclusions from your comment, and I apologize if you took it as my saying you were supporting keep. Anyway, on the substance, this AfD is a waste of time. People generally don't make up creeks and streams and the like, and if it is on ko.wiki (which based on the recent PRODs it is...) it very likely exists, has a name, and can probably be found on some Korean language map and other sources. That is enough for us to keep a North American stream/creek/river/whatever. It should be enough for Korea as well. That, and this is literally doing zero harm to anyone in the state it was in, so I have no clue why we're here.

I want to pull this AfD because after checking the Korean Wikipedia (it did not have an article on Palgeocheon, but it did have one on Geumho River, where Palgeocheon is one of its tributaries) as well as searched on Google in Korean, I learned that
팔거천 apparently does exist as a tributary to 금호강. TonyBallioni is right; this AfD is a waste of time. I am embarrassed for that and for being too hasty, so forget about deleting it. Nevertheless, I feel that this article could be redirected to
Geumho River, where it lists Palgeocheon as one of its tributaries. Keep it or redirect it, Palgeocheon should be included.

Keep just in case this needs another keep vote - needs significant cleanup, but it exists and there's English-language references to it being a stream in Daegu.

Strong Keep I don't understand why this was nominated for AfD, other than it is about a Korean river on the English Wikipedia site, which doesn't seem to be a valid reason. If you look at the reference, there is a photograph of the river with a sign in the picture displaying the river's English name. I can't see a stronger reason for keeping an article about a land feature.

Comment:
This article may be of interest for anyone here who speaks Korean. I don't, so it's difficult for me to see how much this stream is actually discussed in the article. I don't think it seems notable, but this may help advance notability depending on how much the subject is discussed within. TheTechnician27(Talk page)08:10, 9 June 2019 (UTC)reply
Keep I am surprised that this discussion is still ongoing. I proved with my
previous edit that the river exists, and even asked for this AfD to be closed. Maybe it deserves its own article, or maybe it should be merged with
Geumho River, but this tributary should be on Wikipedia. End of discussion.
