Republic of Choson

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

All that this article says is that in 2004 a (redlinked) North Korean defector proposed that, if the North Korean government were deposed, its successor might be called the Republic of Choson, a name taken from an earlier Korean state (see Joseon). The article has recently been tagged as a hoax; I don't think it's that, but no sources are quoted, there is no indication that the proposal made any impact, and the whole thing seems (a) hypothetical and (b) unimportant - a matter of words only. In November 2004 the article was redirected to Joseon, but in February 2006 it was resuscitated; not a lot has happened to it since. The redirect does not seem appropriate as Joseon was not a republic. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 16:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Never heard of it. According to this article, it's an idea made up by one defector. Not notable. Lehoiberri (talk) 18:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete This is silly. It's a "proposed replacement" for North Korea.  Hey, talk to Kim Jong-il about it, and if you can get him to agree, let's see what we can do about those nuclear weapons.  Let's propose some replacements for Great Britain while we're at it-- "Republic of Albion" sounds good.  Mandsford (talk) 20:43, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete. If this defector is notable, write an article for him, but not this. Everyking (talk) 09:25, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
