articles. I'm making a push to finish that cleanup, and I've been noticing that punctuation, currency symbols, and spaces have the same problem. It looks weird to have the full-width versions mixed in, and they sometimes leak into English-language text. My plan was to start converting punctuation and currency symbols in horizontal text (except where the characters themselves are being discussed) when the July 1 database dump becomes available in a week or two. If you have any questions, objections, concerns, or suggestions, please let me know! Open-circle full stop is not included; the affected characters are:

specific genres. I would not want to limit groups to one genre in the lead sentence when they perform several different genres, even if it can be argued that one genre is more prominent than the others. For example, the article on Ive also lists J-pop, because they have original Japanese songs. Wouldn't describing Ive as a "South Korean K-pop girl group" be misleading? Therefore, I think it is appropriate to explain the specific genres they perform later, while establishing the subject of the article in a broader sense at the beginning.

797:. Hypothetically, if you had a small village with a tragic past but people still living there today, do they really deserve to have 70% of their article be about war and death, when they've done so much else before and after that? Yes, the info is true; Korea's recent history was bleak. If there was lots of other non-war info presented in each article, it wouldn't be an issue. But at present so many articles make Korea look like a still-smouldering crater, which is far from the truth. 530: 3729: 28: 1293: 1148: 396: 1918: 1905: 1892: 509: 445: 427: 3757:!

Cities like Seongnam are sometimes considered "metropolitan Seoul", so they may just be handwavey calling it "Seoul", like how people in Jersey City tell others they live in "New York City". Possible that's the restaurant in question, but unfortunately no RS I can find. 3234:? If you haven't already seen, we're currently working on rewriting the MOS and NCKO. We could add in guidance per your recommendation. When you post, could you explain a bit more how these titles work? Namely, is "Yeongchang" solely for Yi U, or did that name pass on to the next person with an equivalent title? 1818:, which originated in Seoul and operates in Portland, Oregon. I am curious if you or other project members might be able to find additional information about this restaurant's operation in Korea, or even confirm if the business still operates there.

Excluding or limiting the K-pop reference in the lead means globally dismissing the vaste amount of conceptual references, industry practices, cultural norms that go along with these K-pop groups.

Some articles for Korea about places and things are I think unfairly bleak reading. I think it's because we have a disproportionate number of people interested in Korea's wars (particularly the Korean War) and in little else about Korea, which has led to a sharp imbalance that unfairly hurts Korea's

Again, as long as "k-pop" is mentioned prominently in the first few sentences, I don't think this debate is that important.

Also I want to make it clear, since the title of the RfC was modified after I opened it, that I edited specific pages where I feel the sources more than adequately refer to the groups as "Kpop group".

I'm asking mostly out of intellectual curiosity. I don't think it's that important to have "k-pop" in the first sentence, even if there is a consensus on this topic.

Please hold off on removal until consensus is obtained. I'm not sure removal of "!" is needed. I'm skeptical of how useful this category is because of how difficult the task is, per your original comment, but don't see the need to deprecate it either. But I want to hear more rationale if you have

I think "South Korean" and "girl group" sufficiently establish the subject of an article. Blackpink is a girl group from South Korea that performs several genres, including K-pop, according to the infobox and Artistry sections of the article itself. "South Korean girl group" does not describe any

While i do support Flabshoe1 as well, I want to say that putting it as a simple term was the less disputable version I could have imagined. I was clearly wrong. But when I'll try to even add the slightest controversy to a lead section while refering to K-pop I doubt it will go better. Despite

Because it is the most concise way to refer to a complex set of industry practices that do not only relate to a musical genre. This is the exact same thing that "girl group" does by the way, only with a different scope. Maybe my argument is not convincing, but at least it should be taken into

I think one of the problems we have for these articles is that Sejong and Yi happen to be the two most famous Korean folk heroes, and many Korean books and articles about them are written in a very subjective, narrative manner. I don't live near a library, but I can certainly look up for more

2570:

Granted, you're right in that that category is probably especially useless; I'm sure few people have ever seen it; I hadn't heard of it until you pointed it out. But still, if it's not hurting anyone and it is identifying a valid problem, I don't see why we should do away with it altogether.

Those groups are clearly established as "K-pop groups". It is arguably the main single most prominent information about these groups, capable of encompassing many others: they get through a K-pop trainee system, their videos refer to K-pop production practices, they share visual grounds etc

K-pop is not only a music genre, but refers to a set of industry practices that these groups shares, or at least refer to extensivelly. Also please note that I wasn't looking for a stiff requirement, I tried to add it to a few groups and got reverted and that's why I wanted to discuss

Westernization and he might be opposed to it. But this is also the form of the name that's consistently used to refer to him at the ICC, and even a Google search restricted to .kr sites yields a lot more hits for Keebong Paek than for Paek Keebong. On the other hand,

2244:

Agree with this. I don't think the exclusion of "k-pop" from the very first sentence somehow minimizes their link to k-pop, especially not if the mention comes within one to two sentences afterwards. "South Korean K-pop girl group" is also wordier. OP's comment of

2453: 1219:

I welcome others to review my additions. Sorry if I stepped on any toes when editing the article. The topic is on a sensitive area for South Koreans, and wanted to contribute more South Korean perspectives and context to it before it appears on the front page.

3029:

Both of these examples get immediate mentions of the prominent genres they operate in and their place within the context of that genre, which is the way we should be handling this in my opinion. Putting K-pop in the first sentence is not necessary.

2846:

I am not strict on first sentence either, I just think that the lead should be able to include the K-pop term not exclusivelly as a genre but as a set of industry practices. This was your first question and I've seen no argument against it yet.

2419:

Because, as I have already stated, it is in my opinion a misunderstanding to try to find another spot in the lead that portrays these groups as if they relate to K-pop as a genre, similarly to EDM or others. Because K-pop is not exclusivelly a

If there is ever a clear statement of personal preference, it can always be moved. 2892:: Knowledge does not use "American pop singer" or "English pop singer" in the lede of those artists, so why exactly should there be "South Korean K-pop group" or what not in the lede for K-pop artists? I don't see a convincing argument here. 1160: 2590: 2252:

A gentler guidance would be "k-pop should generally be prominently mentioned in the first paragraph"; I think nearly everyone would agree with this. There's no reason to have a stiff requirement to have the first sentence mention it.

I want to hash this out because 1. there seemingly hasn't been an adequate past discussion on why we don't use NK's romanization and 2. I want to avoid mixing/matching NK romanization style guidelines with MR style guidelines.

3005:: I believe that it is unnecessary to require a mention of K-pop in the first sentence of a lead. However, I do believe it can be integrated into the lead of articles in a relevant way. For example, the creator of this RFC used 3761:(or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts. 3510: 3076:

I can also support this. I've gradually understood that not relegating K-pop as a simple term to put together with girl group could actually benefit the lead by developping the K-pop connection in a second paragraph, for

But that doesn't mean we should do away with the template altogether. 2056:.

A girl group from South Korea could very well not be a K-pop group. Those are K-pop groups and most source refers to them as such and comment on those very elements that constitute K-pop in them.
