2017 North Korea crisis

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Short version: no reliable sources have used the exact term "2017 North Korea crisis".

Long version: top three hits in my Google search for "2017 North Korea crisis": No mention of the exact term "2017 North Korea crisis" in those unquestionably reliable sources. I don't think this is WP:COATRACK-ery or SYNT-istry. It appears to be a term that hasn't reached currency yet in reliable sources. While it may in future, no reliable sources have used the exact term "2017 North Korea crisis" Shirt58 (talk) 12:45, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep. The title could have some issues or disagreements, but I think the article itself should be preserved. As quoted in the article, a number of notable former U.S. officials consider the situation as one of the most serious nuclear crises since the Cuban Missile Crisis. This is also one of the major concerns of U.S. President Donald Trump. The media coverage about the crisis is enormous now. I might agree with some alternative title for this article but oppose its deletion. --Cyberdoomslayer (talk) 13:15, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Cyberdoomslayer could not have stated it any better. Add a ongoing event tag Hyungjoo98 (talk) 14:27, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep We need to have information somewhere if it's so serious people in Guam are being advised about what to do.— Vchimpanzee  •  talk  •  contributions  •  16:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep If your impetus for deleting a subject of lasting importance to US-DPRK relations pertains to the title, something that we can fix by simply moving the page, I really don't see why this should happen. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 16:49, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Snow Keep - Obviously notable. Naming should be discussed outside of AFD - and might change as this develops.Icewhiz (talk) 18:48, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * A truly puzzling Afd from an administrator, repeatedly pinning his Afd logic on the basis of poor search results for "the exact term '2017 North Korea crisis'" as if that's how we make decisions on notability, on the structure of the article name and exact syntactic matches thereof. Keep -- and per WP:COMMONSENSE, I might add. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:46, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - worldwide media attention, ongoing situation likely to have further developments and indeed with long-term implications. The title is a separate consideration but the event(s) that are discussed in the article, and likely to be included as time progresses, are incredibly strong reasons to retain. This is debate for article deletion though, not article renaming, and there is no reason to delete this article. Bungle (talk • contribs) 21:35, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
