Deletion
editIn view of the unbalanced edit history and the unverifiable content of this article, I wonder if deletion might not be the best and most constructive course -- see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, Wikipedia:Deletion policy and Template:AfD footer? This appears to be one of those miscellaneous postings which has fallen through the cracks. The first line at WP:V is on-point in this context:
- "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth — that is, whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true."
This posting may be an impossible-to-unsnarl mixture of fact and fiction or it may be crucially flawed or misleading or contrived in a manner inconsistent with Wikipedia:Neutral point of view -- we just don't know ...?
A couple of tags were added, but the sad fact-of-the-matter is that more time, effort and care seems to have been invested in wiki-tagging for improvement than can be credited to the text's originator. I note that the anonymous creator of introduced other new articles and then abandoned them:

- 07:04, 13 April 2008 (hist) (diff) N Joseon tongsinsa (Joseon tongsinsa)
The controversial Ilbongun wianbu would seem to have developed by merging with an older article first created in 2003, while this pre-stub text and the pre-stub about Joseon tongsinsa tombs stagnated.
My guess is that the now inactive Koreahistory was randomly scattering "seeds" ....
Perhaps the best thing to do is simply to start over ...?
Maybe this could be within the ambit of Wikipedia:Article Rescue Squadron? --Tenmei (talk) 15:02, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
- I posted an inquiry at Wikipedia talk:Article Rescue Squadron#Needing diplomacy and finesse. Perhaps this constructive gesture will produce meaningful results? --Tenmei (talk) 19:58, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
