****Both, with the border as a line running down the middle (literally, it's a physical line marked out to stop anyone accidentally crossing it). It's not like the Berlin Wall or the fencing along the Mexican border where the physical structures were an initiative of one side and consequently 100% in the territory of whoever built it. ‑ [[User:Iridescent|Iridescent]] 17:30, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

****The video at the top of this NYTImes article [https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/30/world/asia/trump-north-korea-dmz.html] shows exactly what the area looks like.

*'''Support'''. It's not [[WP:TOOSOON|TOOSOON]] to announce that one billion dollars have been committed to a research project! The news is significant enough for several major news sources to dedicate in-depth articles (I have added three links to the nomination). Why? Because Titan is one of the best candidates for extraterrestrial life. <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:grey;">[[User:RockMagnetist|RockMagnetist]]([[User talk:RockMagnetist|talk]])</span> 21:44, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

:::As far as I can tell, the possibility that funding could be cut is not an argument against inclusion. There are lots of ''In the news'' stories that involve uncertain future events. See, for example, " Elliott Management is in talks to acquire the storied bookseller Barnes & Noble for roughly $476 million" (pocket change!) on June 6 and " International Space Station will be opened for commercial business in 2020 for $58 million" June 7. <span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS; color:grey;">[[User:RockMagnetist|RockMagnetist]]([[User talk:RockMagnetist|talk]])</span> 22:37, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

*'''Support but wait''' The [[2026 Winter Paralympics]] article has not been written yet. I added it to the blurb.

** Normally it looks like info about the bidding goes into a separate article from the actually games and paraolympic games - but as with the games otherwise so many years down the road, it makes sense at the present time that the current Olympic games article otherwise covers the bidding facet. Since the Paraolympics automatically happen at the same city, I don't think its necessary to include that or worry about its article at this time. --[[User:Masem|M<span style="font-variant: small-caps">asem</span>]] ([[User Talk:Masem|t]]) 19:49, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
