[edit] Posterity of Heaven
This article, which claims that the Koreans are considered offsprings of Heaven, contains original research. It references only two sources, neither of which seems particularly credible. I concede that Korean mythology does contain some people who came down from the heaven, but then that is also true for many cultures around the world. Hence, this does not warrant a separate article in Wikipedia. Moreover, it is patently false that "[t]he Koreans usually believe that their countries are the nation by the Posterity of Heaven." Consider that Christianity and Buddhism are two most popular religions in Korea. Yongjik 02:20, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't see anything wrong with the article, which at least in the intro states that it's talking about ancient Korean religion (i.e., native Korean religion, not Buddhism or Christianity). More sources would be nice, yes. I also see that this article and Gaecheonjeol have had some questionable material on Korean "beliefs" added by User:Drpepper000. If it's only Drpepper000's edits you object to, have you tried comparing the current page with previous versions and reverting to a cleaner copy if you find one? --Quuxplusone 03:37, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment User:Drpepper000 created the article. If "Posterity of Heaven" is a legitimate concept in native Korean traditions, then I would hate to see this deleted; but I'm having trouble sorting through the facts here. Ichormosquito 04:02, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The article was solely created and edited by Drpepper000, with only two relatively minor edits by User:Visviva. Yongjik 05:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

- Keep. What's the problem with it? Notable. Sourced enough. Bacchiad 18:08, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- Strong delete but without prejudice. "Sourced enough"? Only two sources, both of which are offline and in a foreign language and the names of which aren't available to anyone who doesn't have foreign alphabets installed. Sourcing is dubious at best. "posterity of heaven" korean -wikipedia returns exactly seven hits -- one of which is a broken link and the rest of which are Wikipedia mirrors or rips. If this can be verified by a single reliable and accessible source, I will change my vote, but otherwise this seems to be a clear candidate for deletion per WP:V. - Che Neuvara 18:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
