South Korean scandals

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

Many countries have scandals and controversial incidents but there is no such page (as far as I've known) titled with one specific ethnic group (it includes incidents held in the U.S and Japan) to collect scandals for decades. The title and article could mislead that South Korea is the only country to keep causing scandals in the world. Besides, the lead says the list is about political scandals in South Korea but the article includes too many irrelevant incidents to politics. Appletrees (talk) 20:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Comment I do find a Political scandals of the United States, also French political scandals... and the Political scandal has lists of scandals from several other countries. Dekkappai (talk) 21:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I could not find them in the category to which the feature article belongs, but you did. However, the title and article contents are not fit --Appletrees (talk) 21:48, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe it just needs trimming and better sourcing? Dekkappai (talk) 21:56, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, it should probably be renamed to either "Political scandals of South Korea" or "South Korean political scandals", to be in the same format as the other articles, and to emphasize that these are political scandals. Dekkappai (talk) 22:01, 8 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep, rename, cleanup & add sources. There are actually quite a few lists of political scandals by country, and there is no good reason why there shouldn't be one for South Korea as well. The only problems I can see with this article are cleanup issues. I don't see any valid reason for deletion. PC78 (talk) 22:34, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per above. I'm sorry, "South Korean" is not an ethnic group, and I don't think that there's anybody who would be "misled" into believing that "South Korea is the only country to keep causing scandals in the world".  Mandsford (talk) 21:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
