Status of draft articles

Here's the status of articles for the members

• Jennie Kim has released a solo single that has topped Gaon and Billboard, so she meets WP:MUSICBIO #2 "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart." Her "album" also reached number 2 on Gaon.
• Lisa (Thai singer) was recently created, but it's been poorly sourced, with the only RS pointing to her presence in Blackpink or her record-setting (for now) Instagram followers. If {{notability}} is "reasonably likely to be non-notable", it will be tagged for notability, but "certainly, hopelessly non-notable" it's going to AFD. But if her article is sent to AFD, then she needs to survive WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG standards, not the notability tag standards.
• Draft:Kim Ji-soo (singer, born 1995) is in draft status. All other drafts are redirecting to this one.
• Draft:Roseanne Park is in draft status. All other drafts are redirecting to this one. May be renamed to Rosé (New Zealand singer) later. She has maybe one RS from South China Morning Post but suffers a lot from other unreliable sources such as the Wikis.

Any questions? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:42, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Not a question, but Lisa should probably be moved to draft then in my opinion. Redalert2fan (talk) 23:53, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

Redalert2fan, yeah, except it's been pushed out of draft, bypassing the AFC review process. If it's that bad, it's going to AFD. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:58, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

About a week late but I'd argue they all pass WP:GNG and would survive AfD in a similar way Jimin of BTS did here. I just expanded Draft:Roseanne Park a bit to save the pretty awful prose/sourcing and the number of reliable sources increased significantly. I had to use articles that go enough in depth to talk about her childhood as well, and her career section hasn't been fully revamped yet. She's been mentioned over 2.5k times on Naver alone (Korean news portal that aggregates reliable sources per WP:KO/RS), and scrolling through it you can see all the articles about just her. Naver isn't even exhaustive of potential Korean news sites as well and doesn't including the English sources who have written profiles on her (three on her page currently). I focus on Rosé since I just did a lot of research on her to fix her page, but this is the same for Lisa and Jisoo too. They've all had endorsements outside of BP, all have solo singles in the works, all have been reviewed as discussed as performers, and have had their own impact in South Korea and abroad. Rosé's voice gets mentioned a lot for it being rather unique in K-Pop (this is actually in at least one of the English sources on her page as well), Lisa's arguably the biggest K-pop idol in Thailand and has promoted independently there, and Jisoo in particular gets a lot of solo ad campaigns and had an independant hosting job on Inkigayo for a year. Problem is none of their pages mentions these, are sourced incredibly poorly, and have terrible prose. Lisa's article needs to get a lot added to it, because right now it doesn't pass WP:GNG even though she herself does.

And slightly off topic, but can Rosé's draft be moved back to "Rosé (singer)" please? Her birth name is hardly used and she's the only singer with the name "Rosé" on Wikipedia. I saw it was moved to "Roseanne Park", but that may be due to which draft was made first. And shouldn't Jisoo's page just be "Jisoo (singer, born 1995)"? She's much more frequently covered under a mononym. If there's plans to do requested moves on these should they be published drafts then ignore this. DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 19:39, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

DanielleTH, Rosé should probably be disambiguated to (New Zealand singer), as there is already a mononymic Rose (singer). Same with Jisoo per your recommendation. What about Jennie Kim? AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:54, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

I don't think Rose and Rosé are comparable, there's the clear accent and they're pronounced differently (Rows-aye vs rows). Rosé and Rose aren't disambiguated. WP:SMALLDETAILS. Jisoo would need to have "(singer, born 1995)" given there female Korean Jisoos who sing already. There's also multiple Kim Ji-soos who sing so it's not a case of using the family name to avoid having to list birth year. I'm also of the mindset that Jennie's page should just be "Jennie (singer)", I mean that's the name she used when "Solo" was released, and the page is disambiguated as just "Solo (Jennie song)". I didn't make either page, though. DanielleTH ^{(Say hi!)} 20:27, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Jennie should be moved to Jennie (singer). All the other members are currently not notable and should be in Draftspace.--Lirim | Talk 05:36, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Draft:Kim Ji-soo (singer, born 1995) has been accepted/moved by User:Zanhe as Jisoo (singer). I think the naming of this page probably also requires improvement as has been suggested above. Redalert2fan (talk) 20:34, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Redalert2fan for the ping, I wasn't aware of this discussion. As I mentioned on Talk:Lisa (Thai singer), All Blackpink members are ranked among the top 10 in instagram's most followed K-pop idols (all of whom have larger followings than Donald Trump, for perspective), and Jennie and Jisoo are both among Gallup poll's top 10 most popular Korean idols (Lisa and Rosé are not Korean), so it's safe to assume that they meet the notability criteria per WP:ENTERTAINER for having an indisputably large fanbase. For a comparable case, see the deletion review for Harry Styles from 2013. -Zanhe (talk) 20:56, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Update: after major improvements made by DanielleTH, I've accepted the draft for Rosé (singer), using the name suggested by her above. Thanks for the great work! -Zanhe (talk) 03:45, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the great work everyone, at first I had been a bit skeptical weather they would pass notability guidelines (not if they were notable in a general sense), but those worries are all gone now. Only Lisa's article has someone unreferenced claims left which need some work in my opinion. Redalert2fan (talk) 10:15, 30 May 2019 (UTC)

Looks good. Thanks again for establishing individual notability for the Blackpink members. The articles look a lot better. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:17, 3 June 2019 (UTC)

Merger proposal

@Eshqinra: created a new article, Blackpink Diaries, and added it to filmography here. Given that these are just short check in/vignette vids from on the road during tour it doesn't appear they merit their own article. Unless there's significant notice to these it looks like they might be better served by a brief mention of what they are in the main article here. JamesG5 (talk) 10:10, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

@JamesG5: Is there really anything to merge? There doesn't appear to be any coverage of these videos in independent sources, so I think it would be fine to redirect to Blackpink#Filmography without merging any content. – Lord Bolingbroke (talk) 19:01, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

• Merge I would boldly redirect, but since it's being discussed here, yes, merge. If it's for the 2019 world tour then eventually perhaps that world tour will eventually have its own article and that it would be covered by the promotion section. If it's an ongoing series, like they will use that for any kind of behind-the-scenes videos, then it's just a social media channel. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:19, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hyuna’s Free Month is a video documentary series that was redirected to A Talk AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 19:29, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Just redirect this, no sources or categories or anything, completely non-notable content. Yes, its a social media channel for "behind the scenes", its not a real television series broadcast by a real TV network or something. Blackpink House is an example of notable show broadcast by a TV station, while this is not. And there is no need to discuss merging since there is absolutely nothing to merge at all, so I'll go ahead and redirect it right away. Snowflake91 (talk) 19:26, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi, could you make changes to the item? There are many things written on Chinese Wikipedia compared to English! So more could be added. Ghostintears (talk) 07:28, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

@Ghostintears: You're more than welcome to contribute yourself. But please note that the Chinese article also contains a lot of irrelevant information. For example, it also talks about how Winner was formed, Epik High releasing music, Hi Suhyun being formed, other artists joining and leaving the company, and more which has absolutely nothing to do with Blackpink.

Can we add that How You Like That has broken the records for most viewed music video in 24 hours, and fastest music video to hit 10M likes in 2 days, beating the previous record of 41 days? Also HYLT hit 68 #1 on the iTunes world chart, extending their record of being the girl group with the most #1s on iTunes Charts. It also hit triple platinum on QQ charts, within 24 hours of release. They are also now the most subscribed music group and 2nd most subscribed female artist on YouTube. 880yen (talk) 04:16, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Most followed K-pop idols on Instagram

The four members take the top four spots as the most followed K-pop idols on Instagram, according to this article. Is this something worth noting in the "awards and achievements" section of the article? Something along the lines of: "As of March 2020, the Blackpink members are the most followed K-pop idols on Instagram, with the top four most followed idols being Lisa. Jennie, Rosé and Jisoo, respectively. Alex (talk) 19:25, 9 July 2020 (UTC)

Why is this notable? It's basically a popularity award. Evaders99 (talk) 00:57, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

If it's in a particular category, I don't see why not. It's mentioned in the articles for the most-followed person Cristiano Ronaldo, the most-followed woman Ariana Grande, the most-followed rapper Nicki Minaj, etc. It's not just a popularity contest, it's a measure of cultural influence and impact. I get not including it if it was something along the lines of "X is the 63rd most-followed person" or "Y is the ninth most-followed singer", but mentioning here makes sense to me. ƏXPLICIT 02:35, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

This isn't an award or nomination. It could go in the cultural impact or popularity section though. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:36, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

@AngusWOOF: you're right, it's not an award or a nomination; but the section is not called "awards and nominations", it's called "awards and achievements". Being listed on Time's "Time 100 Next" is also neither an award nor a nomination, but it is an achievement. I'm not suggesting to mention any and every list that they're mentioned on, but all four of the members taking the top four spots seems somewhat an achievement and shows their impact. There also isn't an impact or popularity section as you're suggesting, which is why I suggested this specific section as the most relevant for the information. Alex (talk) 15:57, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Blackpink and their Impact on a new Generation of Music

The Kpop group Blackpink are one of the many artists that have become world renown. They’re ever growing fanbase and fandoms have shown this. They continue to inspire the new and old Blinks while changing a whole new generation of music. Blackpink has changed the music industry by breaking many records in the short amount of time that they have been around. Although Blackpink debuted four years ago because of their popular songs “ddu-du ddu-du” and “How You Like That” they have been constantly asked by many popular song writers to have collaborations as well, some of these artists include: Ariana Grande, Jaden Smith, and even Selena Gomez. They have also already collaborated with some very popular artists already like with Lady Gaga and Dua Lipa. Blackpink has also toured in America after they’re concert at coachella. They are also the very first Kpop group to ever perform on stage at a coachella concert. Jennie, one of Blackpink’s members who is soft spoken, but also has a different side as she sings and raps fiercely when she gets into the second verse of her singing, got more and more of the audience members to take out their phones to capture video. (Feeney, 2019). During this time the audience members were unsure what to think of the girl group as most of them had little knowledge of how powerful their music would be. This shocking moment of the second the audience members realized how amazing Blackpink truly is the cheering and dancing did not stop until they’re moment on stage was over. Even after their concert the audience would not stop cheering and that moment everyone became Blinks. After coachella Blackpink started doing they’re world tour in America due to the huge success at coachella every concert afterwards the fans just kept growing and growing. After this tour fans had to wait another year for their newly released song and soon to come album “How You Like That.” This song has gained the girls a huge boost in popularity because of the anticipation from the fans and new audience members for at least 6 months. For the new hit song the group received 10 million views on youtube in 24 hours which is a world record. (Moon, 2020). They were even able to drop the music during the global pandemic which gave them more support as a whole. “Prior to the release of "How You Like That," the group spoke to TIME over email about the message of the new single, the role that fashion plays in BLACKPINK's releases and dropping music during a global pandemic.” (Moon, 2020). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2400:4153:3163:6500:99A8:23D5:BD2:6BC1 (talk) 16:43, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

When asked for the inspiration behind naming their album, they responded by stating: "We came up with many different other names and at the end of the day, we thought that our fans have been waiting for BLACKPINK’s album for such a long time that there was nothing better than to just name our album ‘BLACKPINK – ‘THE ALBUM.'” " Macymacysag (talk) 20:35, 22 October 2020 (UTC)

Okay I assume by this citation that you're excluding BTS. Because if you weren't excluding them you would know that they have countless more awards than BP this year, last year, every year since BP started and of course we know even more before that since they started in 2013. The difference here is that people like to say well BP has only been performing since 2016 and BTS started in 2013 might I remind you that anyone and everyone that had the opportunity to do so slammed and bullied and basically dismissed BTS with comments like they'd never make it they're no good they're nothing.

Please add "BLACKPINK’s Debut Album ‘THE ALBUM’ becomes the first girl-group album to receive an official million certification by Gaon Music Chart." to Blackpink is the highest-charting female Korean act on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 13 with "Ice Cream" (2020), and on the Billboard 200, peaking at number two with The Album (2020). They were the first Korean girl group to enter and top Billboard's Emerging Artists chart and to top the Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart three times. Blackpink was also the first female Korean act to receive a certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with their hit single "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" (2018), whose music video is currently the most-viewed by a Korean group on YouTube. They have the most top 40 hits in the United Kingdom among all Korean artists, and their 2018 song "Kiss and Make Up" was the first-ever song by a Korean group to receive a certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI)[7][8][9] and be certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).

Infobox image

Hi everyone, there are 370 page watchers of Blackpink and more than 100 for all the members; so I think it is better to have a have a consensus on the infobox image for this article and for the members' (Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa) and stick to it. Because everytime I visit, I see a new infobox image, which is completely unnecessary as nothing was wrong with the previous image. According to MOS:LEADIMAGE, infobox image is to give readers visual confirmation that they've arrived at the right page. So certainly, it is not for the most recent image we have in our gallery (Wikimedia Commons). There is no policy on wikipedia to use the most recent ones, but certainly there is for the quality of image. I think, we should also not change the image in few months or a year unless anyone of them undergoes a major facial change. There are many BLP articles which uses old images even when there are new, properly licensed, and of standard quality pictures available on Commons (example: Priyanka Chopra, Emma Watson). Per WP:BLPIMAGE we should also keep in mind, that we should not include images where the subject did not expect to be photographed.

So, I propose to:

• Swap present infobox image of Lisa with the one present under Lisa (rapper)#Fashion and photography per MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE.
• No change should be made for the infobox image unless a new consensus is reached (for this and members' article).

Note: Please feel free to correct me if I have made a mistake. Thank you. -ink&fables «talk» 04:21, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

@-ink&fables Support for both. The Lisa one was recently changed back to older version and then back to current photoshoot version. The airport one doesn't look too bad and seem much more appropriate than the photoshoot version. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 04:35, 11 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello fellow editors, I just wanna add a Note to this discussion. Lisa debut as a solo artist is coming in a month and if there will be no latest photo of Lisa from 2021, there is going to be at least a 1000 people trying to change that in a month. I suggest you to leave a current photo or change it in to a new photo from 2021, if you don't want a 1000 people coming here to change that for you. Have a good day and Happy editing fellow editors ITIRIKBP (talk) 20:00, 29 July 2021 (UTC).

Update to sentence in the lead about UK Top 40 hits

"They have the most top 40 hits in the United Kingdom among all Korean artists" - I just wanted to point out that this was no longer the case following the release of BTS' "Butter", which tied both acts at 6 Top-40 entries each. And now with PTD's debut, BTS has 7 in total, while BP still only has 6. The statement should either be removed or updated to state that BP has the most top 40 hits for a female Korean act, or the second most top 40 hits among all Korean artists, provided there is a reliable secondary source to support the wording of whatever modification is made. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 01:36, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@Carlobunnie: Updating it with "for a female Korean act" is better. -ink&fables «talk» 05:32, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@-ink&fables: regardless of which wording is better, there needs to also be a reliable source saying so (as I said above) or it can't be mentioned at all, even if it is true. Some editors would have just removed it altogether with a note in the edit summary stating that the info is no longer correct, but I left a msg here instead to give y'all time to find something that can be used to update it. If there's nothing, it'll have to go. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 12:57, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@Carlobunnie Add "in September 2020 to July 2021" with this source to support the ending (July 2021) portion? Alternatively, add both the chart (BTS + Blackpink) to the further support it. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:30, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

@Paper9oll: I disagree. The Forbes article doesn't mention any dates or time periods. Only that blackpink held the record at the beginning of the year and bts tied it with the release of Butter (no date given there). One would have to surmise the time period that BP held the record for (Sept'20–Jul'21 as you suggested) and when bts broke the tie to claim the lead based on the date the article was written and the release date of PTD/the week it debuted on the UK Chart, neither of which are mentioned in the article. Imo it would be better to just remove it from the lead. It could instead be mentioned in the Career section prose (in the appropriate time period) that BP became the Korean act w the most top-40 hits in the UK at the time when their single X debuted/charted at #Y in Z month of whichever year they achieved the record. We have an actual straightforward source to support that wo going through any sourcing gymnastics to prove it. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 05:26, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@Carlobunnie I'm fine with removing it if there are no alternative options available. My intention for adding "in September 2020 to July 2021" was because the existing included source was published dated month of September 2020 while the source for BTS having surpassing BP 6 top 40 hits by achiving 7 top 40 hits was published dated month of July 2021 so that fulfiled the verification. In addition, adding the chart source for both group would further enhance the 6 to 7 record by supporting the two Forbes source, I know the article wasn't clear and explict in their reporting by just mentioning that BTS was previously tied with BP before PTD release hence adding chart source would support the figures value. Maybe, including exact charted date would be more accurate but also more tedious, I prefer simple solution instead. I'm also fine with moving to career section. So to sum up, I'm fine with removing it or moving to career section if there are no alternative options available. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 06:44, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@Paper9oll: even then, Sept'20-Jul'21 still wouldn't be correct because BTS tied BP w Butter in May (May 28 iirc) so BP would only have held the record up to then, before having to share it for a little over a month w BTS until PTD's debut in July. Extrapolating a time period based on article dates is not WP practice afaik, and using chart data to further support that would be stretching it (I don't wanna say it's OR because that's not the correct term but you get the idea). It's always best to stick to what the sources say, so I'll move it from the lead to the body as prev mentioned, and if my wording needs adjusting after the move, please feel free to do so accordingly. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 16:01, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

@Carlobunnie Yes understood, I'm fine with moving to body section. Would see if copyedit is needed after moving. Thanks — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 16:10, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

There is a misinformation under the 'CAREER' '2016-2018' section regarding the World Digital Song Sales chart record.

"They charted at number one and two on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, making Blackpink the fastest act to achieve such a feat and the third Korean artist to hold the top two positions simultaneously, after label mates Psy and Big Bang.[38]"

Blackpink are not the 3rd artist to achieve this feat rather fourth. BTS also achieved this in May 2016. In fact BTS topped the top 3 positions simultaneously making them the only artist to do so. 1. Fire 2. Save Me 3. Epilogue: Young Forever

Member's MBE POSTNOM in lede

See also: Talk:Rosé (singer) § MBE or not?, and Talk:Jennie (singer) § MBE

Noting that, MBE POSTNOM has been removed from Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa per this, this, and this revision, respectively, by @Mr. D. E. Mophon with the rationale of "Per Wikipedia guideline WP:MOSBIO, [subject] is South Korean, not British. Honours issued by other countries may be mentioned in the article, but should generally be omitted from the lead". Currently, only Rosé has MBE POSTNOM per discussion because the non-RfC options provided is that she is using "an English name [hence] compatible to the British title" however I would like to correct that listing MBE POSTNOM in the lead of Rosé is because New Zealand (in which Rosé is a New Zealander herself) is part of the commonwealth realm.

omestic fame in 2016 with their single "Cheer Up", which charted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart, became the best-performing single of the year, and won "Song of the Year" at the Melon Music Awards and Mnet Asian Music Awards. Their next single, "TT", from their third EP Twicecoaster: Lane 1, topped the Gaon charts for four consecutive weeks. The EP was the highest selling Korean girl group album of 2016. Within 19 months after debut, Twice had already sold over 1.2 million units of their four EPs and special album. As of 2022, the group has sold over 15 million albums cumulatively in South Korea and Japan.[2][3]

The group debuted in Japan on June 28, 2017, under Warner Music Japan, with the release of a compilation album titled #Twice.[4] The album charted at number 2 on the Oricon Albums Chart with the highest first-week album sales by a K-pop artist in Japan in two years. It was followed by the release of Twice's first original Japanese maxi single titled "One More Time" in October. Twice became the first Korean girl group to earn a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for both an album and CD single in the same year. Twice ranked third in the Top Artist category of Billboard Japan's 2017 Year-end Rankings, and in 2019, they became the first Korean girl group to embark on a Japanese dome tour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.159.61.46 (talk) 15:32, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
