Pyongyang Declaration

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Searches for this mostly bring up a different "declaration" involving the Japanese government, which seems to enjoy some notability; there are also a fair number of false hits on various things the NK government has "declared". This particular declaration seems to have no footprint outside a bunch of communist partys who have said that they signed it— and Pyongyang blowing its own horn.

Keep. Possibly rename to Let Us Defend and Advance the Cause of Socialism Declaration (or something along those lines or maybe tack on a (1992) - seems this one - Japan–North Korea Pyongyang Declaration is possibly more common for "Pyongyang Declaration") for this last hurrah (so far) of the communists in the face of the collapse of curtain.

Keep I would second Icewhiz's findings on sources. Historical Dictionary of Pyongyang (number two on the list above) in particular is a great quality source. Historical Dictionary of North Korea also has a dedicated entry, as does A Handbook on North Korea

Searching with the date helps though – incidentally – Kim Jong-il ascended to the rank of marshal on that very same day. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 18:21, 18 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep You based your entire search on Google Hits, and google result is not the end since it searches for occurrence of letters everywhere they occur. Beside the above source here are more [8] and [9] also likely more may be found in Korean language or print sources. Renaming is fine but that's not focus of AfD, so after closing it any editor can rename it to more appropriate name. –Ammarpad (talk) 13:27, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
