Merge

edit

This article should be merged to Women in North Korea.

The article is very poor, much of it relies wholly on 2 newspaper articles, and the part that doesn't is a duplication of text from Women in North Korea, relying on the same source used in that article. There is no reason for this article to exist as a stand-alone, so I suggested a merge.

I have partially fixed these problems, by rewriting the article, adding reliable sources (Human Rights Watch report) and removing material that was duplicated at Women in North Korea. 2A02:2F01:502F:FFFF:0:0:6465:434C (talk) 02:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Please do not revert the changes without discussion on talk. If you think something has been lost, then bring that content back yourself. But the original state of the article was very poor. The tone was unencyclopedic; it relied primarily on that Guardian article of questionable quality (even if the Guardian is a RS you can't built a whole WP article only on a newspaper article). Feel free to improve this article, but please do not simply revert it to the way it was - which was a very poor state.2A02:2F01:502F:FFFF:0:0:6465:434C (talk) 05:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
Changes to a very poor article (as Women's rights in North Korea initially was) should not be reverted just because the new version is not perfect and needs further improvement (and you are free to improve the article yourself). 2A02:2F01:502F:FFFF:0:0:6465:434C (talk) 05:34, 22 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
