This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to South Korea. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|South Korea|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- Note that there are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to South Korea.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Asia.

Korean excrement balloon incident

I nominated for deletion; think the content of the article should be merged into Balloon propaganda campaigns in Korea. Reasoning: there's just not much else to say about this incident other than what's in the few news articles about it. It falls into the context of the balloon propaganda campaign, and doesn't have enough separate notability imo. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 01:20, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- No, multiple news sources have had articles about it, including Reuters, (https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/south-korea-alert-balloons-dropping-trash-north-2024-05-29/) BBC, (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4nn2p32zrzo.amp) CNN, (https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/29/asia/north-korea-trash-balloons-intl-hnk) CBS, (https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/north-korea-south-korea-trash-balloons/) and NBC.

- For others reading, note that I had posted on the talk page with the deletion nomination because I am an IP user and can't create pages. This user created the deletion discussion page, and I'm not sure if they saw my post (verbatim matches the current deletion nom rationale) before making this comment.
- Now direct response to this comment: my point is not that the event doesn't have coverage, my point is that the event is not independently significant enough from the Balloon propaganda campaigns page to merit its own article. WP:NOPAGE is relevant I think here.
- Note WP:NSUSTAINED and WP:NTEMP. I think you can make an argument that we should wait a bit more to see if coverage is separate enough: maybe this sparks a huge diplomatic incident with significant consequences. But I'm doubtful that will happen; worse events have happened with basically zero meaningful change to inter-Korean relations. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 01:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: I pull up coverage in Reuters, NBC News, The Independent and what's given now in the article. This incident seems to be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 01:42, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- There is more to say, as the balloons also contained CD's and leaflets, in addition to all the other stuff mentioned [1]. Oaktree b (talk) 01:44, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Separately notable from what's in the Balloon propaganda campaigns in Korea article? And to clarify, I wasn't trying to say the excrement balloon article can't be expanded more. I was trying to say that, based on the news articles, there's not much more to say that differs from the balloon propaganda campaigns in Korea article. The overlap is really significant. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 02:00, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- There is more to say, as the balloons also contained CD's and leaflets, in addition to all the other stuff mentioned [1]. Oaktree b (talk) 01:44, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge: WP:NEVENTS applies, but without getting too into the weeds wrt that guideline, this event belongs contextually at Balloon propaganda campaigns in Korea#North Korean counter-campaigns as this is a direct response to recent South Korean balloon campaigns, with North Korea stating that it would retaliate against the "frequent scattering of leaflets and other rubbish" in border areas by activists in the South. // "Mounds of wastepaper and filth will soon be scattered over the border areas and the interior of the ROK and it will directly experience how much effort is required to remove them"[2]. Also: the article name is really not ideal as under 10% of the balloons appear to have contained excrement. ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 02:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge: Per WP:NEVENTS and WP:NOPAGE. Also, WP:NOTNEWS given that this happened just yesterday. Dclemens1971 (talk) 04:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Merge; not independently notable enough. Zanahary (talk) 05:58, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

The article is just a copy-paste of the "How Sweet" article. Poirot09 (talk) 09:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Albums and songs-related deletion discussions. Poirot09 (talk) 09:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- It is a stub and also it is a song article not a single article. It is also important to have a separate article as both songs are notable since Bubble Gum topped music videos in South Korea and became a big hit there. I would also like to add I am planning on adding more information and sources but as it is a b-side which was never released I simply just copy and pasted information from that article. However this will be changed. This0k (talk) 10:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: it certainly was released, otherwise we would never had heard it. But I would question if this was a B-side as stated... it appears that "How Sweet" and "Bubble Gum" were released together as a double single, and I wonder if it might be better to merge the two into a single article titled "How Sweet / Bubble Gum", because apart from the two chart positions, most of the content seems to apply equally to both songs. Richard3120 (talk) 10:31, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Richard3120 Yeah, there has been a bit of a discussion going on over what classification to use for these singles, since publications have described them as double single,[1] single album,[2] and extended play,[3] even though the group has used the term double single. I'm not able to engage in a long discussion atm, but you can check out Talk:NewJeans discography if you wish to contribute to the discussion with other editors.

- Comment: Sources 12 and 14 are about this song, rest aren't. I'm not sure why were using sourcing from 2023 for a song that came out in 2024... Oaktree b (talk) 23:15, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Weak keep: Enough sourcing in RS about the music video, [3], [4], [5], with coverage from Korea and the United States. Likely TOOSOON as the song was just released, but it's got coverage in spades. Oaktree b (talk) 23:18, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep, although the article should be rewritten with content specific to this song only. I don't see a problem having two separate articles for double A-side singles, as this kind of release is pretty common outside Korea (especially Japan). ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 00:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- Keep per Nkon21. If the issue is duplicative content, rewrite it with information pertaining to this song only. Ss112 02:26, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
