The article about this supposed city does not have a strong, solid background. There are absolutely no statistics and demographics to speak of, nor anything indicating a strong presence in the realm of geography. As it is, the article is of very poor quality right now, and is thus worthy for deletion. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 15:37, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Reply An official website for a city would most likely have the ".go.kr" suffix. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 15:47, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I see no reason why this article shouldn't be kept; this may be a case of WP:POINT,

(Basically to make a short story shorter; the user had this page listed at User:LUUSAP/Wolgot, i turned it into a wikipedia article. The user responded with this Edit. I informed the user here about GFDL. The user has prodded the article (twice) before listing it here for AFD). - -[The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 15:52, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I've found mentionings of Wolgot here & Here - -[The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 16:04, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• I've also found mentions of a "Wolgot-myon" and a "Wolgot-dong" through searches of "Wolgot". Are these the city in construction where talking about or different places alltogether? - -[The Spooky One] | ^{[t c r]} 16:08, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete I don't know if the AFD nominee can vote as well, but if we can, then I'm voting. --Let Us Update Special:Ancientpages. 03:46, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The nomination counts as a "vote" already, but really it's WP:NOTAVOTE it's a discussion. ~ Ningauble (talk) 17:18, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Neutral. I'm a bit concerned the location found on the internet for Wolgot appears to be fields and trees. Doesn't seem to be much of a city there: http://www.maplandia.com/korea-south/kyonggi-do/wolgot/ Now of course, high altitude imagery may have been done many years ago, but then again, I'd like to be sure there's an actual city being built there, so reliable sources are needed.

• Neutral, it seems sort of notable, but I am not sure if it falls foul of wp:crystal ball --UltraMagnus (talk) 08:48, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. Whatever the history of pointiness, Googling the term brings up only 5000 hits, googling "Wolgot Korea" limits it down to 1500. None of the ones I checked looked like reliable sources. So unless actual reliable sources can be found, I don't see much value in the article. Please note that the current quality of the article is quite irrelevant, what is important is the potential quality that can be achieved with available sources. If someone digs out reliable sources, I'm quite willing to change my vote. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 09:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• move to userspace, until some reliable source identifies its existence and location. There is confusion as to precisly the location of the city, or even which provience its in. Google news lists potential matches as: Wolgot-myon, Kimpo-kun, Kyonggi Province; Wolgot-myeon, Yonggang-ri; Wolgot-Myeon Gyeonggi-Do; Wolgot-myun Gimpo-shi Gyunggi-do. Its supposibly near Siheung in Gyeonggi, and there is reports of construction in Yonggang [1]. --Salix alba (talk) 11:15, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - too many WP:V issues, and copying-and-pasting an article from someone's sandbox into an article without crediting them as the author violates the GFDL. Mr.Z-man 17:59, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep all towns/cities are inherently notable a long as they can be proved to exist and I have found several mentions of it.[2][3] - Icewedge (talk) 18:18, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the problem, that we don't even known where it is. The article says its being built near Siheung (google map) south of Seoul, yet the second ref, puts it somewhere to the north east of Seoul. The first ref does not have enough detail to locate it. --Salix alba (talk) 18:43, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I have tried to find citations for a undeniable location for this place. It seems to be non-notable, if it is to exist at all doktorb _words^deeds 22:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
