List of massacres in North Korea

List with only one entry. Fails WP:LISTN for not helping in navigation. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 10:07, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete The subject isn't notable. There's no navigation with a single incident involved. I cannot imagine how this list of one survived the past five and a half years like in this condition. Chris Troutman  ( talk ) 21:31, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Sinchon Massacre (the one entry) if it cannot be expanded with more notable entries; preserving the redirect will maintain our coverage and indexing by country, which should be comprehensive rather than have gaps. postdlf (talk) 13:24, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep now that it's been expanded and likely could be more. postdlf (talk) 20:14, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, at least possibly. Does the massacre at the Onsong concentration camp count? If so it could be added. How many articles would make this worth keeping? Smmurphy(Talk) 21:15, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding it, . I don't think it can be determined based on whether we can list two, three or four instances. I go by what WP:LISTN asks: "has [it] been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources" in a WP:GNG fashion. I haven't come across a single book or article that focuses on the topic "massacres in North Korea". – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 13:43, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * keep the subject is certainly notable and certainly an editor so interested in this subject should expand it, not try to delete it. Hmains (talk) 03:13, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep we know that North Korea is a human rights nightmare. We now have more than one -- even if the 2nd entry doesn't have an article on the massacre alone. WP:LISTN and all policies need to be applied with common sense and I don't see the need to do a Google search "that focuses on the topic 'massacres in North Korea'" -- not here and not in any such listed country. There are 88 pages in Category:Lists of massacres by country. The notion that we're going to exclude North Korea for lack of sources seems an odd position.

 * Keep per the expansion and Shawn's rationale.  Lugnuts  Precious bodily fluids 17:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems to be plenty of articles like this, and while WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a rationale to keep, it seems highly likely that there is enough material to fill an article. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:07, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
