Talk:Gwandong Palgyeong

Gwangdong or Gwandong?
The article is named Gwandong Palgyeong, and the end consonant in the first syllable in Korean is indeed 'ㄴ', not 'ㅇ'. Nevertheless the name is written Gwangdong (with an extra g) both in the lead and the understand section. Should that be changed? Andrew? ϒpsilon (talk) 08:32, 10 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I believe that you are correct ϒpsilon (with the disclaimer that exceptions do exist in Korean spelling). We should update the spellings to Gwandong as you suggest Andrewssi2 (talk) 09:48, 10 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per nomination and article statement: “The border area can not be crossed, so the full itinerary cannot be experienced end to end.” --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 16:46, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Although no specific route is described, it doesn't seem too difficult to find a route between the listed spots. They seem to be a sufficiently famous collection of sights close enough one to another to make a feasible itinerary. Your probably having to skip two of them doesn't ruin the itinerary (you cannot visit all the points on the Struve Geodetic Arc either). I hope somebody will improve this so that it becomes a real itinerary, but I don't see any need to delete it. –LPfi (talk) 17:02, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. My initial thought was to delete this, or edit it to remove the two points in North Korea, as readers are unlikely to be able to visit these. However as the route is 500 years old, i think we should keep it as a list of 8 sights, but be clearer that only 6 sights can generally be visited. It might work better as a travel topic, as it is about the 8 points, not the route between. There are WP articles in several languages (but not English) - Javanese and Indonesian look the most useful for expanding the article. AlasdairW (talk) 20:57, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. I think that's right: Keep and make it a travel topic. Ikan Kekek (talk) 00:03, 12 October 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep as a travel topic focused on the six South Korean destinations. --Comment by Selfie City  ( talk  |  contributions ) 00:30, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I'd like it to cover all 8 sights. This is a series of historic sights. The hard division of Korea is probably temporary, over the course of history, though we may not live to see reunification. Ikan Kekek (talk) 01:01, 12 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Even without reunification, it may get possible to get a permission to visit those sights and to cross the border. There is no harm in mentioning the two that are hard to visit. We do that for the Gulf of Finland points of Struve Geodetic Arc. I also think the article is more useful as an itinerary than as a travel topic. For somebody who knows Korea, making it one in more than name should be quite easy. –LPfi (talk) 15:06, 13 October 2021 (UTC)
 * If it's better to keep it as an itinerary, I'm OK with that, too. Definitely no deletion, and I want all 8 sights covered. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:24, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
