This is again another content fork taking content from other articles rather than creating any new content. If there is nothing added to this article it should either be redirected or deleted.--Crossmr (talk) 22:51, 20 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, the idea was to grow the article. I'm doing that now at User:Heroeswithmetaphors/Sandbox. When it is well-cited and big enough, I'll put it back here. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 04:26, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * You need something original to even start with here. Simply cutting and pasting content from another article while making no changes to the original article isn't a good starting point. There is no evidence that the sections that you've even cut off are too large to spin-off into additional articles at this point. They don't seem overly big and usually that is the main criteria for doing so. These sections are usually then reduced to more key important information and the full information moved to the newly spun-off article. You certainly don't create new articles with "citation needed" tags in them as you have.--Crossmr (talk) 06:05, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I added new cited content. Eventually I hope this article will be as good as Foreigners in Japan. Heroeswithmetaphors (talk) 21:57, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
 * And you've still restored the cut and paste job that was there before, including the citation needed tags, and in fact the new content seems to be more cut and paste, in addition you've made grave errors of original research in an attempt to re-word things. The original claim in the article you cited was that the pure blood theory was deeply embedded in the korean psyche. It did not say that most Koreans subscribe to that belief. If you want any chance of this being a useful article you're going to have rewrite it from scratch and not just copy and paste from other similar articles.--Crossmr (talk) 23:01, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

Name for foreigners
I think it's like "waygook". But I have also seen some other spellings. This article should at least mention it, it's popular enough to be worthy of encyclopedic mention. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:36, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Cleanup needed
See User_talk:Toobigtokale. TL;DR I propose to: 1) rename this page to Minority groups in Korea 2) shorten the South Korea section, by splitting its content and summarizing it into a to-be-created Minority groups in South Korea (to mirror Minority groups in North Korea). PS. Perhaps it would be even better to use names Minorities in Korea, Minorities in South Korea, Minorities in North Korea. Ping @Toobigtokale who recently renamed Ethnic minorities in North Korea to Minority groups in North Korea (most similar Wikipedia aritcles use the term "ethnic minority", although I can see why maybe renaming all relevant wiki articles by dropping 'ethnic' may be even better for standrdization purposes...). Something to discuss at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ethnic groups? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:13, 14 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Support. "Minorities" works too. I renamed the "Minority groups in North Korea" page as a quick thing; the page's scope included many non-ethnic minority groups so I changed. If we want the standardization, we could rework that page to be more about ethnic minorities or do some other split, although I'm not sure if having separate pages for "minorities" and "ethnic minorities" would be good...

 * @Toobigtokale Given no objections, done. Content summarized/ce-ed here, new article based on old content with some c/e at minorities in South Korea. (I also moved the NK articles to minorities to avoid the less common term group). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 06:14, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Looks good, thanks for the great work! toobigtokale (talk) 09:49, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
