Minor parties and independents

Should we remove the minor parties and independents section? The National Revolutionary Dividends Party has no elected representation at any level in South Korea and from what I can see from the opinion polls their candidate hasn't even appeared in any polls. As for the Progressive Party we don't even have a confirmed candidate for them and they also have no elected members in the National Assembly. The Progressive Party's predecessor (People's United Party (South Korea)) finished in 8th place in the last South Korean presidential election in 2017 with 0.08% of the vote. These parties don't seem to be notable in this election unless their candidates at least begin to appear in opinion polls. The citation for the National Revolutionary Dividends Party may also be a first party source although I'm not sure and as for the Progressive Party we don't even have a citation talking about them running in this election or any of their potential candidates. I'd argue its better we remove this section, for without any criteria the page could become overloaded with a host of extremely minor parties and independents that will likely have very little, if any, impact in the election. Helper201 (talk) 22:03, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

I'd say so. Most other pages for elections don't bother with parties that made too little impact, except for tables if applicable. I took a look at the previous pages, the 2017 one has no mention of the PP at all (and the NRDP didn't exist yet), though it does get a mention in the 2012 one. FelipeFritschF (talk) 23:55, 14 August 2021 (UTC)

No. People deserve to know all of the candidates and the wide range of parties and ideologies in South Korean elections. Bashore101 (Bashore101) 16:05, 15 August 2021 (KST)

I certainly agree with that in principle, but I believe too detailed mentions of miniscule parties in this article is falls under undue weight. I mentioned the other SK election pages as precedent and you can take a look at other election pages too. Let me give another example from a slightly similar party system, Brazil, and one election I actively participated in as a party member: 2018 Brazilian general election. It doesn't mention the Workers' Cause Party and the Cidadania, even though they're both probably more significant in Brazilian politics than the PP and the NRDP. Other minor parties do get a mention in tables if they're part of a coalition and that's about it. Similarly to Brazil also, SK's minor parties are becoming less and less relevant, so that makes the need to keep them in less prescient, I believe. For contrast, one article that does need to mention those parties would be List of political parties in South Korea, and it does. But this is not one of those.

(Invited by the bot) Depends on "how minor of minor"? I just took a quick look. A good threshold might be ones that get at least 1% of the national vote. North8000 (talk) 21:35, 19 August 2021 (UTC)

It doesn't seem either of them did, so I'd say they don't need to be included, no. FelipeFritschF (talk) 01:53, 21 August 2021 (UTC)

If they are below 1% polling, then go ahead and remove.RCatesby (talk) 12:26, 2 September 2021 (UTC) sock

"Antifeminist sentiment"??

Sounds more like a load of nonsense. A country with a fertility rate of .81 per woman does not need more "feminism" and rather more women wanting to become mother.

This is inappropriate and not applicable to the Wiki on the 2022 South Korean Presidential Election. It is quite clear with this comment that you do not understand the Korean language or consumed any native-language media on the Election, because it was reported extensively with the two main party candidates in a tug-of-war match on who can fight "feminism" harder, as well as main opposition candidate Sim Sang Jung being attacked for calling herself a "(future) Feminist President."
