Talk:Tsushima Island

message: The following 3 paragraphs were removed from the article.  In each, there are questions which need to be discussed.
#In March 2005, the Masan, South Korea, municipal assembly designated June 19 as "Daemado Day," (Daemado is the Korean pronunciation of the Chinese characters of Tsushima (對馬島)) and claimed the island as South Korean territory, stating that the island had been annexed by the Korean Joseon Dynasty on that date in 1419.  In 2008, 50 members of the parliament in South Korea proposed making another demand for Tsushima.Note: There are 300 members of the Korean National Assembly -- see Kim, Tae-jong. "A Look at Election Through Numbers," Korea Times, 9 April 2008; retrieved 2013-4-2. A public opinion poll in Korea showed that 50.6% of the general populace agreed with the proposal.http://japanese.joins.com/article/article.php?aid=102897&servcode=400§code=400 
#A Japanese conservative group called the Japan Conference (日本会議, Nippon Kaigi), which is tight with the Association of Shinto Shrines and Korea-based Unification Church's International Federation for Victory over Communism, has protested the purchase of land on Tsushima by Koreans, especially a fishing lodge operated by Koreans adjacent to the local Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force base.  Eriko Yamatani, a member of the House of Councillors from the Liberal Democratic Party, has called for special legislation to restrict land sales to foreigners on the island and to implement measures to boost the local economy without having to depend heavily on South Korean tourists.  Koreans own about 0.007 percent of the land on Tsushima.
#On several occasions in 2009, far-right-wing Japanese nationalists (calling themselves Zaitokukai) verbally attacked Korean visitors to Tsushima Island. Upon arrival at the port and on the streets of the island, the Koreans were greeted by the nationalists with chants of "go home" and "kimchis" or "Chosen-jin" ("Chosen" is the Japanese word for Korean peninsula).McNeill, David, "Japan's enemy within", The Japan Times, January 25, 2005.
Arguably, the the municipal holiday and the opinion poll in paragraph 1 are not notable in themselves -- see WP:Notability. Also, the "incidents" described in paragraphs 2 and 3 are not notable.  
Does this kind of information belong in Tsushima Island or in Tsushima Island dispute? --Ansei (talk) 16:59, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, notability isn't really the right word (that just refers to whether or not a subject is important enough for a stand-alone article), but I understand your point. I would personally say the first should (and is) covered in the dispute article. The second seems to be a fleeting news story, not worthy of inclusion (WP:UNDUE). The third one seems like it is worth inclusion, because it seems to describe a pattern/long-term problem...but then I actually looked at the source. Nothing in that source is about Tsushima. It actually talks about anti-North Korean sentiment, and the specific events that it gives occurred in Tokyo. Thus, we can't include that info at all w/o a reliable source.

thread_title: Territorial claims and disputes

message: I do not see any benefit in having Tsushima Island and Tsushima, Nagasaki as two separate articles. There is no clear division of material between the two, and quite a lot is duplicated or overlapping. 86.179.115.158 (talk) 21:51, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The merge tag was in place for almost a year with no discussion. I've removed it, as the articles have grown independently of one another, with less overlap as time goes on. PaintedCarpet (talk) 19:52, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: This is an assignment for my linguistic class to find an article and give a feedback. I found that this article says people in Changwon city in Korea call this island 'Daemado' but most people in Korea call this island as 'Daemado'. An article referenced in this article seems too old. It is from Junganilbo in 2002, over 10 years. Other than these, most of them looks neutral and reliable. --Irue3 (talk) 00:26, 1 November 2016 (UTC)
