Droughts happening every year in Korea, so the year '2015' does not mean anything special. SungMinSeung (talk) 06:28, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Inclined to agree, but if they are frequent, then maybe their cause and proposed actions, coupled with any notable incidents as a result, could be formulated into a single article? I'd suggest either Renaming this to Droughts in Korea (or similiar) or Delete this and create a new general article for Korean droughts. Searching for "korea drought" returns alot from 2017 too.

Keep: A drought in Korea doesn't happening every year, #1, #2 because of there is East Asian rainy season. Thanks. --Garam (talk) 13:58, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep An important part of North Korea to illustrate their disasters, could possibly be merged - Danthemagicalman — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danthemagicalman (talk • contribs) 19:52, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep "Droughts happening every year in Korea" - defined as "a prolonged period of abnormally low rainfall". So just being dry for a while every year doesn't make it a drought. It's the fact the rainfall was much lower than usual - and it is specifically clarified it was under half the usual rate. So that would appear to undercut the grounds used to refer for deletion. It meets minimal requirements for notability. While I would say it is *better* to be a general "Korean Droughts" article, this doesn't seem necessary to avoid deletion - hence Keep.

Rename to "Droughts in Korea". There is a drought in North Korea in 2017.[1]―― Phoenix7777 (talk) 00:29, 7 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
