Talk:Daegu subway fire

First-person account

I'm removing the first-person account from this article. Although it's interesting, it's unattributed, and I think it was written by the anonymous editor who added it to the article [1]. The fact that I can't find the text anywhere on the web except Wikipedia mirrors makes me even more sure that it's original thought. -- Plutor ^talk 17:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

What did Kim Dae-han die from?

Is the cause unknown? I will put it down as unknown with a citation needed in order to provoke proper accounting of events. Reason being that if it's not unknown, and it's not known, then there should be an acknowledgement of the article's incompleteness (or of the shortcomings of the wikipedia community to provide what is undoubtedly forthcoming information as per this article) to benchmark any and all attempts to seek out this undeniably missing information needed for the article's completeness/'readiness'. This is also in response to the fact that Kim_Dae-han also redirects to this page, whereas an independent article for Kim would be the most appropriate place for this information.

Apologies for any superfluous statements; I'm not a regular editor and I just want to make sure my argument covers all bases. I'll be getting back to this later if anyone edits or if I find any of the requested information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Secobi (talk • contribs) 12:13, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Daegu subway fire → Daegu subway disaster – Most commonly referred to as such in county where the event occurred (South Korea). Requires assistance to move over redirect. User:GoatLord234 (talk) 5:30, 27 June 2023 (EST) This is a contested technical request (permalink). GoatLord234 (talk) 15:54, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

• Procedural comment. GoatLord234, in general, if you're moving a contested technical request over, it's usually good form to move over any objections or discussion as well.
• Oppose as writtten (copied from my opposition to the technical request). The term used in Korean isn't relevant. We're looking for the common name in English media. Effort to Fix Responsibility for Deadly Korean Subway Fire suggests the current title is fine. I'd want to see evidence that "disaster" is the common title in English (not merely used when discussing the event). SnowFire (talk) 02:32, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose for now. This appears to be an accurate descriptive title, not an attempt to determine the common name (and if we attempt to determine a common name, we should attempt to determine the common name in English-language reliable sources). Dekimasuよ! 02:51, 2 July 2023 (UTC)
