- this event hasn't even taken place yet. Merge with NK-SK relations. 50.111.3.17 (talk) 20:54, 29 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it probably will take place soon. There's no harm in having it.--Jack Upland (talk) 00:13, 30 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is happening right now. Chongkian (talk) 01:00, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It has happened. // sikander { talk } 17:41, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Romanization of the North Korean name.[edit]

Why the same 북 is romanized as Puk/Buk in the South Korean name, but Pung/Bung in the North Korean name?--140.180.246.195 (talk) 06:31, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

2 summits: Split into 2 articles?[edit]

Chinese Wikipedia and Korean Wikipedia already created articles named 2018年5月朝韩首脑会晤 and 2018년 5월 남북정상회담(May 2018 inter-Korean summit) to distinguish from 2018年4月朝韓首腦會晤 and 2018년 4월 남북정상회담(April 2018 inter-Korean summit) respectfully. Should we do the same here? —Wei4Green (talk) 03:49, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The present organization lends itself to awkward article structure. Agenda, attendees, declaration, and reactions listed here are related to the first summit only. The lead is almost exclusively about the first summit and the infobox would need some awkward formatting to incorporate both. I also hate the idea of redirecting terms to sections of this article when disambiguating 2018 inter-Korean summit links.– Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:19, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I moved 2018 inter-Korean summits to April 2018 inter-Korean summit. It would be great if someone could create a new article May 2018 inter-Korean summit. --Neo-Jay (talk) 01:55, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support I see this is in progress. Good idea. The summits are certainly notable enough, but what happens if monthly summits become an ongoing program? Jack N. Stock (talk) 01:58, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: We don't really have more than a stub about the May summit. If there are ongoing summits, I suspect they will simply be mentioned briefly in the North Korea–South Korea relations article. However, at the moment inter-Korean summits are a rarity. There have been only 4 (?) in history.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:19, 28 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The second summit was arranged in only a couple of days. Therefore, it was not as notable and the first summit which was planned months in advance. The second meeting certainly left the impression that such quickly arranged summit meetings could become routine in the future. BarbadosKen (talk) 13:10, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Per my comment, I would support changing article name to 2018 inter-Korean summit meetings. BarbadosKen (talk) 13:13, 29 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge - These series of meetings are very close in terms of date, and are about the same topic. These series of meetings are historic, but since the second meeting in 2018, one single meeting is not quite historic. —— CommInt'l (talk) 19:36, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Per previous responses, very notable summits in modern history that need to be split up to give more information. JE98 (talk) 19:14, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The inter-Korean summit in May was extremely significant to South Korea; the two parties willingly agreed to meet, and this event was not planned. Another significance of this event is that the summit was held in North Korea, not at the Peace House in South Korea; it was held in secret, so citizens in South and the North had no knowledge about this event- until the Korean broadcasting companies documented it. However, we can possibly continue to add more information on the Inter-Korean summits article as well instead. I think it is best at this moment to split the two summits into two articles. --Poeticfeelings (talk) 09:01, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Location[edit]

Both summits were held at essentially the same place: the Joint Security Area. The first was in Peace House in the south; the second at Unification house in the north. See Inter-Korean Peace House and Unification pavilion. The JSA is sometimes called Panmunjom, but that article is largely about the village as it existed in 1953 (and which no longer exists). We shouldn't imply that the summits were in completely different locations. Saying the second summit occurred in a North Korean "village" is highly misleading. The JSA is not a village. Also, saying the meeting was at the DMZ is imprecise as the DMZ stretches the width of the peninsula.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:09, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
