Fair use rationale for Image:Kepco.gif
Image:Kepco.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Requested move (August 2011)

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

No consensus to move. Is 'better know as' a valid criteria without supporting sources? Vegaswikian (talk) 19:15, 6 September 2011 (UTC)

Korea Electric Power Corporation → KEPCO – Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 18:58, 30 August 2011 (UTC) The common name in English sources used for this company is KEPCO. Although KEPCO may also mean Kansai Electric Power Company, it is usually used for the Japanese company. Disambiguation may be solved by using hatnote. Beagel (talk) 09:09, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

Although I don't like unnecessary proliferation of dab pages, I can't see that there's a primary topic here. The two companies are of similar size serving a similar number of people. What's the problem with the current situation? —  AjaxSmack  20:57, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * KEPCO is far more common name for this company in English sources than Korea Electric Power Corporation. If somebody looks for this company in Wikipedia, the most like search term will be KEPCO. At the same time, KEPCO usually is not used for Kansai Electric Power Company. Beagel (talk) 04:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. My request was trigged by this move by user:Redpenblue. Although KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corporation) is not a suitable name, the edit had a valued rationale for the move to KEPCO. Beagel (talk) 04:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Requested move (September 2011)

 * The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

The result of the move request was: not moved. Rough but clear consensus that the DAB should stay right where it is. I note that others are not convinced that there was even a case for raising it again, and neither am I, but hopefully this will be seen as a decision and we can all move on.

Korea Electric Power Corporation → KEPCO –

Previous similar discussion ended with no consensus. However, as the discussion was rather limited by number of participants, I would like to restart this discussion to create more wider consensus. According to Google News Archive search 'Kepco +Korea -Japan' provides 3630 results while 'Kepco +Korea +Japan' provides only 202 results. Also, KEPCO +"Korea Electric Power Corporation" has 829 results while KEPCO +"Kansai Electric Power Company" has 46 results. Reuters has 384 hits for KEPCO of which most of seems to be related to the Korean company. If not move to KEPCO, KEPCO should redirect to this article with a hatnote to Kansai Electric Power Company.

 * Object -- KEPCO is an acronym that is meaningless to those who do not know what it means. WP policy discourages acronyms.  HOwever there ius no reason why KEPCO should not exist as a redirect.  Peterkingiron (talk) 21:31, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * KEPCO was redirected here; however, it was restored as dab page for two pages (this one and Kansai Electric Power Company). However, references above show that KEPCO is used mainly to refer Korean company. Beagel (talk) 04:26, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * For the sake of clarity: You're the user who redirected here. 70.24.247.40 (talk) 08:28, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was me. And as the redirect was reverted, it is a normal procedure to discuss. Beagel (talk) 11:01, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Speedy close This request just failed/closed at the beginning of the month, with the same request, by the same nominator. 70.24.247.40 (talk) 08:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't think that this is a speedy close case. The discussion of two participants had result no consensus and therefore broader discussion is needed. Beagel (talk) 11:08, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I don't think this article should be moved – the current title is much more descriptive and not many outside of Korea will have heard of it. That said, I think it would be fine for KEPCO to redirect to this article. Jenks24 (talk) 15:14, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
