[edit] Koreaphobia

Neologism. Doubt there's really much room for improvement, but in any case, this should probably go into the articles of the respective national teams. fuzzy510 21:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Comment: My first inclination was to delete (in fact I considered AfDing this long ago), but a glance at the Korean language version suggests there is quite a bit of room for expansion. I'll see if I can't work up a partial translation --currently I'm busy deletion sorting. -- Visviva 10:29, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, notable and verifiable phenomenon. The term is not common in English, but cannot be really described as a neologism, since it is a literal translation of the well-established Chinese word. -- Visviva 15:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Reads like OR or a sports feature or something made up in school one day. ~200 g-hits. Not verifiable account of a theory behind a sporting event. :) Dlohcierekim 00:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey now, I'm just the translator. :-) Just trying to flesh things out a bit. Sport is not my field of expertise, so I leave it to others to tidy up the language. But I'm curious -- do you think that the Chinese, Japanese and Korean versions of this article should also be deleted? -- Visviva 01:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

It's not something made up in school one day. It is a term coined by the press and the sports fans whenever China faces Korea or something. It's not a something like a scientific theory in the first place. mirageinred 17:32, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, well-referenced account of a verifiable phenomenon. The title is the most intuitive translation of the Korean/Chinese term. Kappa 03:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I expected something about Koreans in Japan at the time of Kanto plain earhtquake, not garbage. Pavel Vozenilek 03:52, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. It may not be something notably existent in English language consciousness, but still notable nonetheless.--Merkurix 06:34, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep First of all, Koreaphobia is frequently used in Korea (of course), so the Korean version of the article shouldn't be deleted. While it is a made up term (clearly it's not real), it's a term used to describe a phenomenon like brain drain or Hallyu, or something like that. I say it is notable. mirageinred 17:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
