Third Korean War

War is not certain, good candidate for speedy delete as unsourced future conflict A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:23, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crystal-ball comment - I have no issue with creating an appropriate article such as Korea, DR, v Korea, Rep, war (2009), if war does come to pass. Should that happen, the new article would not lack for sources. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:39, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opinion, no proof, no sources. Delete. Intelligentsium (talk) 15:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unsourced crystal balling. This would end up in Wikinews first. Baccyak4H (Yak!) 15:37, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above.--Caspian blue 16:07, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Wow. I don't think "Crystal ball" even applies here. Closer to hoax. If we started a new "Korean War" article everytime the North or South talked tough, we'd be well into the hundreds by now... Dekkappai (talk) 16:19, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It is my understanding that the "old" Korean War-- the one from the '50s-- was never formally ended. So even should hostilities break out again, it would be a continuation, not a "Third Korean War". So here is an article on a future event that likely will not happen, with a fabricated and incorrect name. Speedy Delete. Dekkappai (talk) 17:13, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I thought the article is about some novel or comics based on an imaginary plot.--Caspian blue 17:19, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Right-- it reads like imaginary literature. "It happened after..." as if it's already occurred... Let's hope no news organization picks up this story before it's deleted! Dekkappai (talk) 17:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
