Talk:Lists of Korean birds

Deletion debate from 2004
Looks like a translation guide, or something else which Wikipedia is not. -Fennec 16:23, May 5, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete and/or move to Korean version of Wiki. Alcarillo 18:25, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, move to "List of Korean birds", and delete the Japanese text. -Spencer195 19:25, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
 * This is a an appropriate article - see list of regional bird lists and List of Japanese birds, both of which I wrote originally. If the problem is the equivalents in the Asian languages, then just delete those parts and leave the English text, although many articles on Asian languages do in fact give the Asian equivalent, and these are not normally deleted. If you want to transfer the article to Korean Wikipedia as well, remember to delete the English text. jimfbleak 19:09, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I don't question whether or not it's appropriate as an article, but that it's not appropriate for an English-language Wikipedia with the non-English name equivalents. That's why I suggest moving it, so it doesn't get deleted. And if you want to do that, then remove the English name equivalents if you so desire. OR, if you really want to make it useful, put the phonetic equivalents on the English-language version so non-Korean/Japanese speakers at least know how to pronounce the word. Keeping it as it is does me and probably millions of other users no good; and I really don't have the time to learn the Korean alphabet. Alcarillo 19:33, 5 May 2004 (UTC)
 * This article is very informative. I recommend against erasing any part of it. My thanks to the author for working on it. -- Now, as to where it is most appropriate. I would say a discussion of birds of Korea would be most appropriate for Wikipedia. A list not otherwise expanded with annotations -- Wikisource perhaps? Other ideas? If we can't come up with an appropriate alternate, then KEEP. Even as it stands this article is approximate 1,000,000,000 times more useful and informative than all the TV/video game crap put together. Wile E. Heresiarch 01:26, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
 * However, this article does need a fair bit of work - the cap links should be lower case to work, some of the species links need fixing, and the Japanese text question needs sorting. I've rewritten list of Japanese birds, but the Korea article uses a different taxonomic system, even more radical than the American one. jimfbleak 18:25, 6 May 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. As a list it does belong. I don't think the other orthographies do any harm at all, as long as there is sufficient English there for the list to work, and there is. Andrewa 06:53, 7 May 2004 (UTC)
 * delete and possibly move to wikibooks on learning English/Korean --Jiang 04:37, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
 * keep. Give writers time to bring it up to par. see list of regional bird lists and List of Japanese birds. Don't be so knee-jerk whenever something doesn't fit with narrow, regional world view. Have some patience for the vast majority of the world that doesn't speak your language as a first language. SimBot2 17:37, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
 * I'd move it to 'List of Korean Birds', or 'Birds of Korea', because the title doesn't make a great deal of sense, but I think the content is quite good. Keep. -Litefantastic 19:04, 10 May 2004 (UTC)

What an interesting discussion. What's particularly interesting is that no one seems to have noticed that at that time the non-English text in this article was Japanese, not Korean. Sigh... Well, good thing it was kept, anyway. -- Visviva 13:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
