2013 Korean crisis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is purely a recording of the news of 2013. It was obviously created in the expectation that something momentous was about to happen. However, nothing significant eventuated. The article remains inconclusive, consisting mainly of a timeline that peters out as tensions subside. The Korean conflict is an ongoing topic, and what happened in 2013 was relatively minor.

 * Comment: Could you provide a valid criteria for deletion per WP:DEL-REASON? It certainly looks well sourced, and your reasoning seems to fall under WP:PPOV. Praemonitus (talk) 16:17, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment . looks well sourced to me, but anyone can check whether original research is done.I don't have time to check the references. Thanks.-- C E  (talk) 16:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Disagree: The Korean crisis of 2013 lead to their third nuclear test and the closing of Kaesong. Do you not remember all of this developing? Thats like saying we should delete the Cuban Missile Crisis because nothing came out of it. 24.44.176.72 (talk) 19:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Reply: My criterion is notability as expressed in WP:NOTNEWS,WP:EVENTS. I am not questioning the sources. The nuclear test is covered in its own article, and Kaesong Industrial Region article has ample discussion of its temporary closure. (Note: the city of Kaesong was not closed.) As it is, this article mainly consists of a timeline garnered from the news as it happened, including some very minor incidents. Such incidents are routine in the ongoing Korean conflict. The Wikipedia article on the Cuban Missile Crisis was obviously written long after the event. I don't think anyone would write this article today.--Jack Upland (talk) 22:10, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

 * delete a chronology of incidents. The actual noteworthy incidents already have their own article. LibStar (talk) 16:51, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2013 in North Korea. Finnusertop (talk &#124; guestbook &#124; contribs) 20:41, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep + Comment - It's important that an article about the Korean crisis in general be kept to give a broader context to things such as the nuclear tests and closing of Kaesong, but maybe it should be rewritten so that it can be, well, not a list of dates and events? Maybe if the page was written more like an actual article, rather than a list, it might be taken more seriously as an article? PhilipTerryGraham ⡭ ₪ ·o' ⍦ ࿂ 14:17, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge to 2013 in North Korea (for anything that can be merged). That's basically what the article is, though only a small section of the year. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 21:01, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
