2016 North Korean uprising

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Page as it stands is completely unsourced and appears to be speculation. Looking through news sites there does not appear to be any signs of an "uprising" currently in North Korea. RickinBaltimore (talk) 17:46, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

 * It appears to be motivated by a recent CNN piece that speculated "an uprising" could be the the result of social unrest following their flood. Mere speculation. Delete BTW, I think WP:A11 could even apply to this made-up event and I've speedy tagged it accordingly. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:48, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete If it's based on something at CNN, A11 doesn't apply. A11 is for things like drinking games resembling Beer Pong, or games that are a cross between lacrosse and tiddlywinks. This just looks like wishful thinking, or a good faith attempt to get an article started in advance of the happening. Peridon (talk) 19:18, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * I agree, I've declined the A11 speedy deletion tag. I agree that this article should not exist without some kind of reliable evidence that this uprising is actually happening though.  Hut 8.5  21:03, 13 September 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not a crystal ball; we can't predict an uprising that hasn't yet happened. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:19, 13 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete; pure speculation at the moment. No prejudice to recreation if reliable sources become available. —Psychonaut (talk) 09:56, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom and per Psychonaut. An uprising in North Korea would be major world news, but there are no reports that such an event is taking place, or has taken place in the past. Nick-D (talk) 11:17, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - per WP:CRYSTAL and WP:OR. There is no reliably sourced content whatsoever.--Ddcm8991 (talk) 15:22, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete until there is solid coverage in reliable sources then the article can be recreated Atlantic306 (talk) 23:28, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
