Article is merely a list of quotes from politicians with little result on a minor event. Fail notability guidelines. Obi-Wan Kenobi (talk) may the force be with you 21:24, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge. May or may not pass WP:GNG, but reactions to stuff like this is generally of little impact, since this wasn't really something that elicited great emotion. NK nuke tests happen often, unfortunately. epic genius (talk) 21:47, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:POINTY nomination per this. LjL (talk) 21:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Not WP:POINTy, the notability is questioned by an editor as is the concept and content of these articles. It is right to seek community consensus rather than over-riding it and butchering articles in an underhand manner without consensus. AusLondonder (talk) 22:13, 15 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Merge In this particular case, this one is part of an ongoing issue with North Korea, and nuclear weapons. Merge this one with 2013 North Korean nuclear test. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 23:49, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment. I previously wrote an essay at Reactions to... articles aka WP:REACTIONS that describes some of the issues with these "International reactions" articles and lists some of the previous outcomes of debates around them. It is not intended as a guideline, but more a reflection of how editors have dealt with such articles before. That said, editors may be interested in extending the essay or working it into a guideline - perhaps a supplement to WP:EVENT. Fences  &amp;  Windows  00:47, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge, no need for a stand alone article on that. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 09:07, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, it might be the last one since a later one was cancelled. If they're routine, they're not important 2601:600:8500:5B1:D41B:E837:1128:2F01 (talk) 19:13, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Merge, this is little more than a thesaurus entry for "strongly condemned". Can easily be compiled into a single paragraph in 2013 North Korean nuclear test which details any specific actions stronger or more formal than voicing strong condemnation and summarising the rest into a blanket condemnation; breaking it out into individual similar quotes is adding no value.
