This page should be deleted. Nobi is not a slave system.

This page seems like another attempt to minimize the atrocities of American Slavery by false equivalence. 24.19.160.102 (talk) 00:36, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please continue to ignore the myriad of sources that substantiate this article. If you can disprove said sources/ prove they are unreliable, the article stands a better chance of being deleted. 47.5.233.128 (talk) 13:04, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"It is important to note that Korean slavery would be more equivalent to European serfdom except Korean slaves or 'nobi' technically had more legal rights than European serfs."

According to which source? Also there were different forms of serfdom in Europe, depending on place and time (even if one looks only at medieval times). 213.142.97.106 (talk) 23:01, 11 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this is still in debate

if you see the sources Bamnamu posted

p. 155 https://books.google.com/books?id=J0iRAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA155

p. 156 https://books.google.com/books?id=J0iRAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA156

p. 157 https://books.google.com/books?id=J0iRAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA157

It does go into the details.

And there is a bit that says

"In reality, the nobi was more than a chattel. The Annals of King Taejong stated:

The nobi is also a human being like us; therefore, it is reasonable to treat him

generously' and 'In our country, we love our nobis like a part of our body.'"

Also "I think we should add more information, such as how in Korean slave is 노예(no-ye) and this is 노비. 노비 (no-bi) in Chinese characters is 奴婢. Male is 'No' 노-奴 and female is 'Bi' 비-婢"
