Talk:Koreatown

message: This page needs layout fixing, its too 'all over the place', we also need some photos as well. The info written about Koreatown in China needs to be more since there is a lot more to write about on the Hanguk group living in Koreatown in Bejing, sourced.

replies: text: Material that is uncited, off topic, or WP:Original research will be removed.  This page is NOT about the Korean diaspora and loose discussions of where Korean shops can be found or where Koreans live are not on-topic unless those ares are identified as Koreatowns or Little Seoul etc.  Don't complain about the removal of either faulty or overblown information or claims about areas where other residents would not think of themselves as being a Koreatown.Skookum1 (talk) 20:03, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Needs fixing

message: This article is nothing more than a "where to shop if you're Korean" listing...."Koreatown" is a word in English, I find it hard to believe that Buenos Aires or Beijing have named/designated anywhere as a "Koreatown".  Self-defining it and promoting its use does not make it a fact to non-Koreans; simply having some Koreans live somewhere or open a shop does NOT make a "town".  This whole page is unreferenced and full of hearsay and subjective designations; only those places which are officially Koreatowns shoudl be listed and non others.Skookum1 (talk) 15:13, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Wikipedia is not a directory

message: this is getting ridiculous; by labelling concentrations of Koreans abroad as "Koreatowns" when they are not so officially or historically designated by that name is WP:Original Research.  Las Palmas may have the largest concentration of Koreans in Spain; that does not make it a "Koreatown"; most entries on this page should be deleted.Skookum1 (talk) 16:08, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: This page is Original Research

message: I propose that Koreatown (Oakland, California) be merged back into this parent article. I think that the content in the Koreatown (Oakland, California) article can easily be explained in the context of this article, and its section in this article is of a reasonable size in which the merging of the other article will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned. There appears to be no significant contribution from having an entire article devoted to this section. Recommend development of section in main Koreatown article. If and when enough legitimate and productive material can actually be added to that article, which hasn't been done so in its (long) existence, then a "spin-out" article would be appropriate at such a time. It simply doesn't warrant that now.

message: Hello, I found it odd that the photo in the Koreatown infobox does not depict any Koreatown and instead depicts a map of Korea. A map might be appropriate in a different part of the article, but displaying it at the top is rather boring and perhaps even misleading. Koreatowns are, by definition, outside of the Korean Penninsula. The Japantown article's top photo is not a map of Japan but a great shot of Japantown in Sao Paolo. If no one protests, I'll change the photo. Cheers! Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 17:20, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
