Talk:SKY (universities)

message: There are many results when you search SKY&Seoul National University in the NEWS section of NAVER.COM which is most famous among Korean Search Engines. I don't know exaclty the definition of SLANG but I don't think the press in South Korea use inappropriate term like slangs in their formal articles. I think it's not a slang but the coined word which reflects social phenomenon in South Korea where university is the key to success. --2SteamClocks 04:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Epthorn, the the third party whom you invited clearly stated that references with foreign languages are acceptable, in case absence of their English-translated substitutes, in English Wikipedia. From now on, I hope I won't see your continuous provision of the hyperlink above for justification of your claim on invalidity of foreign references. If there's any problems on it, please contact the third party you've brought into the case you made.Patriotmissile 03:32, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  I think it's not slang 

message: The use of the SKY acronym is pervasive in Korea. It is regularly used in both television and print media to refer to Seoul, Korea and Yonsei. The use of the SKY acronym to refer to any other group of universities (eg. Sogang, Korea, Yonsei) is far from pervasive and is in almost all cases avoided for obvious reasons. You will only find SKY in reference to the three private institutions in a discussion focused solely on issues related to private universities in Korea - it does persist into mainstream media or speech.
The key difference between the SKY acronym and other university group names (eg SeoPoKa) is this: the name SKY itself goes beyond the Korean tradition of abbreviation and seeks to create a new word and identity, which has been embraced by Korean society. Abbreviation such as that which occurs in refering to SeoPoKa, is common and far from noteworthy (and anyway those universities lack the prestige, history and, arguably, importance of Seoul, Korea and Yonsei). Take another example - KoYeonJeon (Korea-Yonsei games). In these cases the abbreviations can be written in hanja (characters), whereas SKY cannot. "SKY" evokes emotions (prestige, competition, history) whereas "SeoPoKa" cannot. It's like comparing saying N.Y. and "the Big Apple" - both refer to New York, but only the second evokes real images and emotions.
SKY may not have a formal league, but it's importance in Korea and pervasive usage in society and media should qualify it for Wikipedia. EVEN IF THIS WERE NOT THE CASE, I find it very strange that NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON has suggested this article for deletion, and instead resorted to bickering.
