North Korean websites banned in South Korea
Wikipedia is not a web directory. The list of URLs is a direct copy from another site. -- Perfecto 02:30, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Merge, minus the list, to National Security Law. Gazpacho 03:06, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, websites notable enough to be banned. Can't be that many North Korean websites in the first place. Kappa 04:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete worth a mention in in National Security Law as per Gazpacho. Atrian 06:15, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with the same conditions as Gazpacho. Movementarian 08:22, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, the page was created (by me) according to wikipedia templates as in Category:Dynamic lists of banned things, such as List of banned elements for Wikipedia usernames, but with the intention of informing the reader of which websites are banned, and NOT to have a directory of web links. The fact that the information the list lists happen to be URL's is perhaps a coincidence which could be interpreted as a web directory is actually not the case. Would it be a candidate for deletion still, had it only vaguely described the title of the website instead of a full URL? --Bjornar [[Image:Flag of North Korea.svg|30px|DPRK]] 13:53, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or merge but with the list, unless there is some actual reason for removing it. As Bjornar notes, this cannot be considered a web directory in any meaningful sense, thus does not violate WP:NOT.  -- Visviva 14:22, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge per Gazpacho. Good call. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] AfD? 14:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep or Merge. Not a web directory, and a genuinely interesting article which IMHO is not out of place on Wikipedia. --kingboyk 16:19, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge to National Security Law. Gazpacho 21:52, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is one of few worthwhile lists. NickelShoe 05:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: since the nomination, National Security Law itself has been merged to the preexisting article National Security Act (South Korea). Gazpacho 06:58, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
