Page move

I am considering moving the LOONA (Blockberry Creative Project) into Loona (band) as it seems more fitting as the group grows in size and popularity. What are your opinions on this? Abdotorg (talk) 22:50, 20 December 2016 (UTC)

Are there any reliable English sources for this new band? http://weekly.khan.co.kr/khnm.html?mode=view&artid=201612261716511&code=116 only has Idal-ui sonyeo In ictu oculi (talk) 13:30, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

All signs point towards the full group debuting under the name LOONA but that will not be until October of next year, so until then most sources are referring to them as a project group or and upcoming girl group and less so Girl of the Month. Abdotorg (talk) 13:55, 29 December 2016 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for that. Above could only have Korean sources saying "Idal-ui sonyeo", in Korean. There's a problem with different Korean romanizations, but that was at least recognizably corresponding to sources. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:03, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

However http://trueviralnews.com/loona-drops-another-teaser-image-of-next-girl-of-the-month-hyunjin/ looks as though it might be near to WP:RS, and justified moving to Loona (band). In ictu oculi (talk) 09:06, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Jinsoul and Haseul's animals

• Based on the "Singing in the Rain" MV, Jinsoul's animal clearly appears to be a blue betta, and not a simple fish (@ 2:56 ; as you can see it's clearly the same → http://natgeo.petsmart.com/content/img/betta-fish/betta-fun-facts.jpg).
  • If one of the 5 remaining girl is a goldfish or whatever, Jinsoul won't be able to be a simple "fish" (= the whole species)
• Based on "The Carol" MV (@ 2:45), Haseul is depicted as a dove or pigeon (both are from the "Columbinae" subfamily), but thanks to the "aesthetic" of the "Let Me In" MV, her animal is clearly a dove (a dove appears @ 1:36/1:37 quickly in the middle of the frame, and her "boy" version is wearing a white outfit → dove)
  • + Kim Lip is already an owl, which is a... species of bird, so I don't think Haseul would represent all the birds, if Kim Lip is also a bird

To end this, I would like to say that korean people are actually thinking the same thing, because on the korean wikipedia (namu wiki), Jinsoul's animal is listed as a betta fish and Haseul's as a dove. Carrott' (talk) 17:57, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

Are the things like "is the April Girl and is represented by a deer and the colour pastel rose" even notable to include? Looks like trivia to me... what are the sources saying? If there are no published sources to confirm those animals, then it should have been removed altogether in the first place instead of guessing what animals are they representing, does this even has any significant meaning to the group or are they "represented" just for fun? Snowflake91 (talk) 18:35, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I just watched back the MVs and Haseul is most likely a dove, and not getting as specific with Jinsoul her animal is probably some sort of goldfish? Also regarding notability; I am unsure myself but I thought I would just leave the info in as I have seen similar things in other articles (Gugudan, Cosmic Girls & Berry Good). Abdotorg (talk) 18:41, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

If someone finds Korean sources from news article about animals it would be great, also some Korean sources which simply confirms a member would be welcomed – for example, there is no need to have 11 different teasers for every girl as a source from Twitter or Youtube, it should be replaced by a single source from media Snowflake91 (talk) 18:55, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

I don't know if BBC will keep up with the whole color+animal+month concept once they debut, but so far this is the pattern they've been using, so I do believe this is relevant/notable. I've looked up on korean media outlets, but none of them refers to this concept (but this one talked about "the July girl" : "두 멤버와 7월의 소녀가 만나 새로운 유닛이 결성될 예정이며" (something like "the 2 girls will meet the July girl to form a new unit")) Carrott' (talk) 19:09, 2 July 2017 (UTC)

• Look, I think it's not relevant to specify the specimen of the animal in these cases. HaSeul told on an interview to Fact in Star that her animal is bird, not dove. Plus I really doubt that the other upcoming members are going to have another fish specimen as representation, so let's keep it just "fish" until a new member be represented by another fish specimen. ~SolsticePrince 20:29, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
  • In episode 154 of Loona TV, it was confirmed that JinSoul's animal is just a "fish". ~SolsticePrince 16:36, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

"Law of Creation"

Should someone add the collab with "Law of Creation" to the Endorsements? ~SolsticePrince 00:37, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Just added the basics from what I found in news articles. Abdotorg (talk) 13:32, 28 July 2017 (UTC)

Thank you! Are the collabs with Weekly Poem notable enough too? If yes, could you please add it? ^^ ~SolsticePrince 00:37, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

I am unsure? Is weekly poem a company that they are collaborating with or is it just a Loona side thing (similar to LOONA TV)? Abdotorg (talk) 12:27, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Well, it's on their "collaborations" page in the Cafe... http://cafe.daum.net/loonatheworld/HUdX ~SolsticePrince 12:33, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Animals and Colors

It's confirmed info. Important because their whole concept (MVs and albums) is centered on this. I got three references. Why do not keep it? Honestly. ~SolsticePrince 11:55, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

• Because we are not a fan site, that's why. Please acquaint yourself with the very idea of an encyclopedia. That it's "confirmed" means nothing at all--decent secondary sources, not Naver or AllKPop, need to verify this. And if the marketing focuses on it, that still doesn't mean you have to start listing blood type, favorite mammal, color, and hair length for every person. Drmies (talk) 07:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
  • I'm not talking about Naver or even AllKPop, but reliable sources like Ten Asia, MK News, and X-Ports News (엑스포츠뉴스). Oh, and please don't be rude; let's keep this a civilized discussion (we are not twitter). ~SolsticePrince 21:29, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Just read this: "Her animal is a rabbit and she is represented by the color hot pink. Her designated location is Paris, France." – does this seriously looks like a notable information for someone who visits the article for the first time ? Whats next, are we going to add fruits to Red Velvet article, because one of their songs centered around that ? There must be some kind of manual of style or consensus about how the "members" section should look like, but I cant find it right now. Probably, there should be only stage name and position (singer, drummer...), without date of births, real full names, romanizations etc., so this should probably be removed as well, especially because IPs are constantly edit warring about the name of the oldest member – if there is no source, dont add it. Snowflake91 (talk) 22:07, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

• "Designated locations" aren't confirmed info nor relevant. But the animals and colors DO have refs in at least three reliable sources-- Ten Asia, MK News, and X-Ports News (엑스포츠뉴스). It's the mark of their unique concept. And yes, that kind of stuff is very notable since it's not temporary representations (such as Red Velvet's temporary fruits) but the core of all the group's idea AND it's in the news AND it got reliable sources. Oh, and... Well, date of births, romanized names and birth names are important since we are in a virtual encyclopedia (just like what Drmies said before, "please acquaint yourself with the very idea of an encyclopedia"). ~SolsticePrince 23:54, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Dates and birth fullnames are important on their own article (when they will be notable to have one), but this article is about a group, so date of the birth and full names of the members are probably completely irrelevant. Snowflake91 (talk) 08:52, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

• Okay, but... What about the animals and colors? I got reliable references. Should I add that back? ~Solstice Prince 18:46, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

• No. They are just wp:fancruft. Dr. K. 18:51, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

• While I see why you would say the colors and animals are "fancruft", we do have to think that part of LOONA's whole point is that each girl has a unique animal, month, and color. Their months matter, yes, because it shows what order they were revealed. Their birthdates and real names should be kept on this page because this is done for almost all groups that are still in their pre-debut/debut stage, such as TWICE or Gugudan. The whole section just being their names is doing a disservice to any fans or anyone in general coming to this page looking for more information about the members in general. Db Rider (talk) 19:42, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

What kind of impact does those "animals" have? Why are there no animals in any of their music videos then, if this is an important part of the concept? It is just a marketing thing, just like zodiac signs in Cosmic Girls... Snowflake91 (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2017 (UTC)

I'm sorry what? Each solo music video features an animal. ViVid a rabbit, Around You cat's galore, Let Me In a bird, Kiss Later a frog, Eclipse an owl, Singing In The Rain fish, and Love Cherry Motion a bat. ViVi's solos are unique where her animal (a deer) is not featured, but she is an odd case all together (Being in a sub unit first, not having her own solo song, having a feature in each of them, etc.). Each animal helps identify the member and gives them a unique symbol to help remember them. The animal motifs in Around You, Kiss Later, and Singing In The Rain are ridiculous as well, so I don't know where your knowledge of LOONA is coming from if you haven't simply watched any of their music videos. So while it IS a marketing "thing," it is nonetheless important, therefore they should be added back into the article. Also, how is their dates of birth fancruft or marketing? This is information that is beneficial to all fans and readers. A mass deletion of the WHOLE member section was completely unnecessary. Db Rider (talk) 08:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

This marketing fluff will only enter this article, and any other articles in a similar predicament, if you get other editors to agree with you. So far, you have no WP:CONSENSUS that this meaningless marketing ploy can be added to the article. Dr. K. 08:31, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I would argue SolsticePrince agrees, as they have tried to compromise with your edits to this article that came suddenly out of nowhere. These changes were made suddenly and recently with no talk at all about it, which seems unruly. And why must LOONA be unique from other group pages? Why not their birthdate? Almost all newly established K-pop groups include that in the member section. Japanese idol groups put the colors of each member on the group wikipedia page, even if they have their own individual one (Morning Musume, Fairies, etc.). The Korean Wikipedia page for LOONA as well includes ALL this information, and they have plenty of information. And HOW are their birth names and dates marketing fluff? Those are FACTS! I am looking for a place where one of the editors who removed all this info about the members got consesus from other editors before doing so, and I simply cannot find it, which seems ironic when I (And others!) are being told to simply stand with these changes that came out of left field. On the WP:CONSENSUS page you so kindly linked to, it says "Consensus can be assumed if no editors object to a change." At least two editors have objected to this change. That is NOT consensus. Db Rider (talk) 08:37, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Now add a sources for animals, date of births, and colours. Current Naver link confirms only stage names and nothing else, every single member needs a source, which is not a fancafe or something. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:26, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Will begin to do so. As others have said, members have mentioned their specific animals in LOONA TV, and their colors appear in their music videos. Will begin to cite these as soon as possible, I invite others to do so as well rather than simply remove the information. We know the information is true, finding the EXACT sources will take a minute though. One good example are the music video descriptions themselves, straight from the company. I.E Choerry's music video description explicitly says her color is purple. Db Rider (talk) 09:43, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Everything from a company itself is a primary source and is therefore marketing campaign, we need published sources in third-party sources like media etc., YouTube video is not a reliable source. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:55, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I recommend asking at talk page at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music (or Wikipedia:WikiProject Pop music) about the opinion on what should be included in Members section on band articles, those Jpop groups are plagued by fancruft as well so they are not to be a model example of how the article should look like. Snowflake91 (talk) 11:07, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

On the primary page, it directly says "primary sources that have been reputably published may be used in Wikipedia." Videos are reputably published by the company of the group itself. Therefore, it is reputable and we may use it as a source. And I do not see why you and another certain editor are so vehemently against this, the months, colors, and animals make LOONA unique and show just how unique LOONA is as they have actually kept to this concept unlike other groups. The "Purple" girl is also named Choerry. Her name is literally in the title of the music video. I am truly wondering if we're seeing some editors with the greater good in mind. And since videos are "primary" (As said by you yourself) and primary sources ARE allowed (Unless otherwise noted SPECIFICALLY for this article) I will be using them and ask others (SolsticePrince) to do the same.Db Rider (talk) 13:59, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

No, you cannot use YouTube music video as a source for animals and colours, it needs to be a published source, even if you see animals and colours in the video, it is still original research. Published sources below are much better. Snowflake91 (talk) 14:11, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Please direct me to somewhere where it says I cannot use the music video description boxes, PUBLISHED by the company itself, and then I will not due so. If you can, I will not do so. But seeing as your lack of knowledge for the group is evident (Asking if there's any animals in any MV is a ridiculous question, no matter who you are.), I would like an explicit statement rather than you just saying "You can't do that!" Thanks! Db Rider (talk) 14:26, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Just read about reliable sources, published independent sources, and primary sources – YouTube music video is not a reliable published source, and the channel is not even verified by YouTube. Or, if I must copy/paste it from Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources: "Definition of published: The term "published" is most commonly associated with text materials, either in traditional printed format or online. However, audio, video, and multimedia materials that have been recorded then broadcast, distributed, or archived by a reputable party may also meet the necessary criteria to be considered reliable sources. Like text sources, media sources must be produced by a reliable third party and be properly cited." – Company of Loona is not a third party source here, so its not reliable. Snowflake91 (talk) 14:34, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Actually I have sources that confirm colors, animals and MONTHS plus their official Cafe Daum which also talks about that, but I don't add such info to the article anymore because Dr.K and Abdotorg said it's trivia.
Ummm... Db Rider, ViVi's MVs do have deers, even in EILY.
by the way Snowflake91 really never watched ANY music video. I'm shook ~Solstice Prince 12:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Yes I did, and the only "bat" I saw was a 1 second of bat silhouette somewhere in the middle of the video – yup, definitely notable. And because the girl is wearing purple outfit for most of the video, it is definitely important information that she is a "purple girl"...its just a concept, it is not important in members section. Why not adding fruits to Red Velvet article than? 🍇🍉🍊🍍🥝 Snowflake91 (talk) 13:05, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Fruits were temporary for RV, but Loona's animals and colors are important because all their future music videos as a whole group will center around it. But well, these stuff are already on k-pop wikia so let's respect everyone here and let's keep this article the way the admins like it. Love and peace everyone
You can check the most notable animal appearances in their music videos here, here, here, here, here and here. ~Solstice Prince 13:17, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

I made a little research about band articles on Wikipedia, and include only the ones which are either GA or FA. Now, check how members section should look like (note: Yes, they mostly have their own articles, but some of them dont; however, there is still no date of births or anything about those members without an article, only name and position.)

Ok, but let's look at K-POP, shall we?

• Twice_(band) #Members
• Gugudan #Members
• Wanna One #Members
• WJSN #Members
• BLACKPINK #Members

Whether the group is male or female, has 4 or 12 members, it includes their name AND birthdate, and even more sometimes. If anything, our member section is LACKING. We should not compare this page to English or American pop bands, rather Korean ones. For newly established K-pop groups, they have a member section WITH their birthdate. This is NOT fancruft NOR marketing. Db Rider (talk) 05:36, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Why does it matter, we should take examples from GA or FA standard articles (only BigBang and SNSD are "good articles" in K-pop, out of groups), basically what are you saying is "because other K-pop articles are fancrufted, this one should be as well", see Wikipedia:Other stuff exists. And Twice article is not good anyway, when the Members section is (almost) bigger than History section, then it is obviously something very wrong with it, not to mention too many pictures. I'm fine with date of births if they are sourced (altrough I would prefer only "born in 1999" instead of full date), but colours etc. are not needed, neither are tons of Hangul transliterations. Snowflake91 (talk) 07:51, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

My goodness, the colors, animals, and months are not put in there, because you and Dr. K were adamant they not be. They are not in there. I'm simply stating we should keep the dates of birth. As it literally says in Wikipedia:Other stuff exists, "These 'other stuff exists' arguments can be valid or invalid." As I said before, "For newly established K-pop groups, they have a member section WITH their birthdate." They have sources. The "born in 1999" is insufficient info and I have rarely seen a Wikipedia article that simply says someone's birth year rather than their whole birth date. I personally think we should stop trifling over what goes in the member section, leave it as is (With their full names and birthdates, simple as that.), and wait to see when all members are debuted what is needed and what is not (If the colors and animals will be very prominent as a concept then we should include it, WHEN the times comes.). If you would like to go make the member pages, PLEASE do so. But since no has taken that initiative, we will keep a member section of LOONA in the article with justified info and facts. Thanks! Db Rider (talk) 09:42, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

None of the members passes neither WP:NMUSIC neither general WP:GNG, so we cant make an articles for them yet. Snowflake91 (talk) 09:49, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Even MORE the reason to keep their birthdates and full names in the member section. :^) Db Rider (talk) 10:25, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

Ugh, no animals and colors. They aren't the Spice Girls where the nickname is essential to their stage name. AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 23:39, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

References

HaSeul

So, there is the paragraph "뮤직비디오는 여름이라는 계절감을 선명하게 보여주기 위해 제주도 로케이션으로 진행됐고, 첫 번째 유닛 이달의 소녀 1/3의 리더 하슬과 이달의 소녀 막내 여진이 합류해 힘을 보탰다." on that reference I've added. It means "The music video was shot in Jeju Island to capture the visual attraction of the summer. HaSeul, the leader of 이달의 소녀 1/3 and YeoJin, the youngest member of 이달의 소녀 joined forces to help out in the process."

Basically it confirms that HaSeul is leader of Loona 1/3.

I don't know what you guys have against Naver, but I haven't found that through Naver search. lol

Here is the reference I've added: ""과즙美 팡팡"…이달의 소녀 최리의 착한 미모" (in Korean). MK News. ~Solstice Prince 19:43, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

I verified the translation after you showed me the paragraph and have reinstated the info. Dr. K. 19:47, 6 August 2017 (UTC)

Should someone add the collabs in with Cha Cha Malone, Daniel Obi Klein and UK singer-songwriter Charli Taft? ~Solstice Prince 01:39, 7 August 2017 (UTC)

Problem with the article for Chuu's single?

Clicking on her name in the Discography section redirects to the Loona (band) article. Does anyone know what happened to the article for her single (which was present on Wikipedia some weeks ago)?

Listing LOOΠΔ ViRryVes

As "LOOΠΔ ViRryVes" keeps being added into the article, I created this section to discuss on whether it should be listed. In my opinion, unofficial subunits should not even be added as they are non-notable as compared to the official ones and I feel that Loona ViRryVes is the former. According to Metro, it states that there will only be 3 subunits, which I believe they are referring to these three: Loona 1/3, Loona Odd Eye Circle and Loona yyxy. Also on Billboard, it states that Loona yyxy is the third and last subunit of the group. What is your opinion on this? Heolkpop (talk) 11:08, 14 June 2018 (UTC)

Keep look no further than the description of the carol 2.0 video. it says and i quote "'The Carol 2.0' is performed by ViVi from LOOΠΔ 1/3, Choerry from LOOΠΔ / ODD EYE CIRCLE, and Yves who escaped from Eden, to create a transverse unit named 'ViRryVes' in order to welcome the holiday season along with the fans of LOOΠΔ." The unit is named and comes from a 1st party source, their official youtube channel. The video description to every loona song is an important part of their lore. No other unit has been named or promoted in this way so I understand why the confusion but it is official. RatiziAngelou^contribs 21:20, 15 June 2018 (UTC)

@Ratizi: You should also note that that is a primary source, and primary sources should be avoided. Even so, the video is titled as "LOONA/ViVi, Choerry, Yves" – by their names rather the name of their unit (LOONA ViRryVes), comparing to other subunits' music videos. Furthermore, only Youtube (only one source) says that way. If you read LOONA yyxy's music video's description, it states "LOOΠΔ 1/3 sang the excitement and expectations of the first love through ‘Love&Live’. LOOΠΔ/ODD EYE CIRCLE sang that love is not about waiting, but about stepping forward and taking action through ‘Mix&Match’. Finally, LOOΠΔ/yyxy sings about the love of youth so shiny to seem luminous, through ‘beauty&thebeat’", without mentioning LOONA ViRryVes. I can also understand the confusion but it is not an official unit. Heolkpop (talk) 13:05, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

Members' order

I think members should be listed in order of age for consistency with other k-pop articles.74.12.71.179 (talk) 23:09, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

 Not done For the infobox, it should be in the order in which they joined the group per the MOS. Whether you want to create a table for the members to sort by birthdate/age is up to you. It really depends on whether birth date and age is important to note for the members. But according to the previous discussion, it sounds like that would be fancruft.

Do we want the order they joined the group or they order that they debuted in? Because there is a big difference.74.12.71.179 (talk) 19:06, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I dont know why are there always so much complications on every group article about order of the members in the infobox, why does this even matter? Just list them and thats all, they can be ordered alphabetically, by the age, by the order of joining, or completely random, there is no note of any kind which would explain to the random reader how are they ordered anyway, so one can only guess. Just checked Twice, GFriend, Girls' Generation (GA article), Blackpink and Red Velvet articles and they are ordered by the age in all those articles, but according to the MOS, if all members joined at the same time, they should be ordered alphabetically so all those articles are using wrong order, but it doesnt really matter does it, or...? Snowflake91 (talk) 20:33, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I just want consistency across all pages for k-pop groups, and based on the conversation had on Talk:Itzy, it seems like age order is the closest we can get to a consensus.74.12.71.179 (talk) 21:21, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of it since I dont have Itzy on my watchlist, apparently I was pinged but did somehow missed it, will check the consensus, thanks for pointing it out. Snowflake91 (talk) 21:34, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

Per Template:Infobox musical artist#current_members, the members should be listed by date of joining the group or by alphabetical. However... neither really works for a market like South Korea's, as it' so incredibly structured unlike its western counterparts. A lot of policies and guidelines simply cannot adequately be imposed on these articles (case in point, record label templates like Template:YG Entertainment are allowed to list all their artists, even when guidelines disallow such use of the templates, see discussion one and two). I suggest listing members as they are by their agencies. Group members are always listed in a particular order and it is hierarchical to reflect that of Korean society; it's usually done by age, but that is not strictly followed with all groups. Following the agency's order should work best for these articles. Going around making changes to a mass number of articles without discussion citing other stuff exists isn't helpful, especially when they aren't a result of... anything other than self-interest. ℯxplicit 06:54, 21 March 2019 (UTC)

Lead Single

Can someone who's not on the wrong side of an edit lock edit this page? A while back I corrected it to say that the lead single of [++] is "favOriTe", which it is, but someone changed it back to "Hi High". Hi High is the title track. The lead single is a song off an album released early to promote that album, which was favOriTe...and it's also called such on the music video description. Please correct. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:BC00:1565:8512:F6D4:E01:2BAC (talk) 14:37, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

i'm also on the wrong side of an edit lock, but favorite is indeed the lead single and hi high the title track. this is confirmed in the video description for hi high, which calls favorite a "lead-off single" and hi high the "titled track" furthermore, favorite was released prior to hi high to build hype, which as the user above states, is the purpose of one. i just wanted to provide the source for this, as i'm not sure why this has been changed to be incorrect, in case there was any hesitation or confusion. 46.69.114.165 (talk) 22:55, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 19 January 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. It would have been good to see more analysis on the historical significance of Loona (Punjabi epic) - a 1956 play which received a major literary honour and is still talked about today - in comparison to the Korean group. But the page views are quite overwhelming so with the support !votes as they are there is a consensus to move.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:20, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

• Loona (group) → Loona
• Loona → Loona (disambiguation)

– I understand claiming primary topic out of four pages seems like a lot, so I do ask you please read my whole rationale.

On Loona (group)'s discography page, Vaporgaze attempted to move the page to just "Loona discography", and the consensus was to not move as this page is titled "Loona (group)". However, a case could be made that this page is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, looking at pageviews. Since late November 2018, Loona (group)'s pageviews have dwarfed all of instances of "Loona" combined in terms of pageviews. In that time, the four pages have collectively amassed 470,548 pageviews, with Loona (group) covering 427,376 of those views. You can see that, in pie chart form (click "chart type" > "pie"), Loona (group) is responsible for roughly 91% of all views to pages with "Loona" in the title. Seems like a pretty clear instance of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. See also: Google trends, where the group dwarfs the others in terms of searches, and where the general search term "Loona" lines up almost exactly with searches for the group.

• Hi, I'm the person who suggested that the discog page be moved. Just want to say that I agree that the group seem like a clear primary topic compared to an irrelevant singer who, if her discog page is accurate, hasn't made the Top 40 since 2010, an Indian play that seems unknown internationally and a village that is easily in last place when it comes to both page views and searches... for now. You never know, the group may be less relevant/popular in a few years' time and therefore generate less page views and searches.

How should we do to move from Draft:Chuu (singer) to Chuu (singer)?

I created her Japanese article (I'm a Japanese native speaker).

Additionally, I have edited Draft:Chuu (singer) several times because she appears in a web drama, TV ads (Pocari Sweat, Galaxy Store and Chicken Maru) and YouTube channel ("Chuu Can Do It" and "Hauteur the Day") as an individual and I think that I need to move from her draft article to her main article.

How can we move from her draft article to her main article?

@Annaoue:How does she meet WP:ENT or WP:MUSICBIO independent of Loona? The Loona-related EP/single album does not count towards her solo career as it is part of the Loona project.

More sections and more information about individual members

The section "History" covers information that certainly is not history. The individual sub-groups (members and characteristics) should make up a section of their own as they play an important role to this day, while the forming of these sub-groups and their songs should stay in the history section. Also, the Members section seems redundant, their names are mentioned in the info box and the only difference is that it includes their Hangul names (+leader info for Haseul). I would suggest, since noone but Chuu has their own Wiki page (anymore), to add some basic information about them, such as age, date of announcement (as in part of Loona), debut song and a key difference (youngest, first announced, tallest, Chinese etc.) --Super4Jet (talk) 20:22, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

Also two pictures need an update in my opinion, being both all-member pictures. They have a space-saving resolution/quality, likely because both use the same source. Since 3 years have passed since then, I would suggest replacing them, especially the first one since it is the first picture seen hovering over a link or opening this article and it's just a picture of them while performing a dance on stage — Preceding unsigned comment added by Super4Jet (talk • contribs) 20:55, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

"Former members"

I don't know that it's accurate to suggest that HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry are former members at this point. They have won their hearing for an injunction (just as HaSeul, YeoJin, Yves, Go Won, and Olivia Hye have lost theirs), but to my understanding, this is not the end of LOONA's legal process to end their contracts, rather just one part of it, just as HaSeul herself has posted to Fab mentioning and just as we saw with Chuu, who filed her injunction in December 2021 and remained in LOONA until 2022. If the 9 girls are still liable to lose their case and be forced to remain in the company/as part of LOONA, would it not be best to wait and see what their company has to say, at the very least, if not the result of their overall legal case? 31.124.191.19 (talk) 02:28, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

I agree but I got reverted, the source only states that the five Loona members have their contract with the company terminated nothing about their status with Loona. Thus, with the status being unclear they should be considered Loona members till there are evidence otherwise. Lightoil (talk) 02:21, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Considering the contract was terminated, they are no longer Loona members since they were under contract, and that contract was broken. This is similar to what happened to Nmixx member Jinni, who had her contract terminated, and left the group. I would leave it as that. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 05:20, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

JYP explicitly said that Jinni left Nmixx while BBC have not released any statement thus both situations are not directly comparable. Lightoil (talk) 05:34, 17 January 2023 (UTC)

Agree here. BlockBerry hasn't released a statement saying that they have officially left LOONA, this is simply a contract injunction like the one that Chuu had prior to her removal from the group. @Paper9oll: since you reverted it, could you please help participate in the discussion? The source cited, MT News, doesn't explicitly say that they were fully removed from the group and thus I am not sure if it is best to say this. PurpleLights 23:27, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Same thoughts as Btspurplegalaxy. However, if the consensus is clear then feel free to make the relevant changes. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 00:31, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

I'd agree, but we did see many of the members who'd be considered "former" immediately jump to Fab to speak -- surely if they were out of the company and group and this was the end of the legal line, then they'd not have been able to use Fab to promote their own Instagrams? Like, that's using the LOONA brand to uplift their own, and I really cannot see that flying if they were out of the group and company.

Injunctions are part of the legal process, but that process is still ongoing given what HaSeul has said (and how the law works), it's just that certain members have just been freed from the expectation of an exclusive contract while the process continues and others have not. Given that, I think it'd be best to hold off on calling them former members quite yet, as no one jumped to doing the same with Chuu when she was freed from her exclusive contract.

I'm happy to make some changes, with @Paper9oll's consent above. 31.124.191.19 (talk) 11:36, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

Draft for OEC+ redebut under Modhaus as ARTMS

The draft page for ARTMS has been created, please contribute here Draft:ARTMS matt. (talk) 15:42, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Should we change some of the members to former

I doubt we get an official statement from Blockberry as artms started posting concept photos for choerry. As well as kim lip, Jin soul and heejin has signed with modhaus Ben073 (talk) 20:36, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Modhaus confirmed on Naver: On March 17, 2023, [we] signed exclusive contracts with former Loona members Jeon Hee-jin, Kim Jong-un, Jung Jin-sol, and Choi Ye-rim." ‘Exclusive’ confirms that the 4 members are no longer under Blockberry Creative and working with Loona, and should be considered former members.

Additionally, to avoid unnecessary confusion with the currently evolving situation of contracts and membership, ‘11-member’ should be removed from the first line to simply read ‘South Korean girl group’. Nipah (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

The latent conflict about contradictory information: Artms and Loona

Only the temporary and convenient absence of a wikipage related to Artms and MODHAUS avoids the conflict between pages which would assert a contradictory membership. At this moment this article just adds confusion. Are they aren't they...? HeeJin KimLip and JinSoul do not pretend to be active members in BB nor they are on hiatus. They started to produce content for a new agency after breaking their former contract in court and signed a new exclusive contract. Is it possible to have 2 contracts at the same time once exclusivity exists? A websode Explore Log Ep. 1 was released by MODHAUS. Whatever is the consensus even without a formal Blockberry Entertainment statement, and even if this agency could somehow ban them from the Industry which is very unlikely, the 3 won't be returning to BB so they are not factually members of BB's LOONA. The stats on this page as those in their personal pages should show point to their current contractual situation. 139.47.41.130 (talk) 03:08, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Rewording the intro paragraphs to follow a standard introduction.

Typically, on many of the South Korean girl group pages the introductory paragraph follows typically as:

Group Name (Korean: 그루프 네임; RR: Geurupeu Neim; stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group (formed by / formerly under) [label name]. The group is composed of [number] members: [list of member names]. {If the group has a different number of members now from when they debuted}: Originally a [number]-member group, [Member(s)] (left / was removed from the line-up) on [date], due to [reason]. The group debuted (in {if only month is used} / on {if date is given}) [date] with (their single album / the single / the extended play) [album / single name].

[either the preceding paragraph, or a new paragraph should then contain common and important trivia about the group]

[final paragraph should contain important information about the group's current status]

SOURCE: Ive (group), Purple Kiss, Blackpink, Twice, NewJeans, Le Sserafim, and many more...

Hence I propose the following stylistic change to the introductory paragraph:

Loona (stylized in all caps or as LOOΠΔ; Korean: 이달의 소녀; RR: Idarui Sonyeo; Japanese: 今月の少女, romanized: Kongetsu no Shōjo, lit. 'Girl of the Month') is a South Korean girl group formerly under Blockberry Creative. The group is composed of eleven members: Heejin, Hyunjin, Haseul, Vivi, Yeojin, Kim Lip, Jinsoul, Choerry, Yves, Go Won, and Olivia Hye. Originally a twelve-member group, Chuu was removed from the line-up on November 25, 2022, due to a contract dispute. Starting in October 2016, as part of a pre-debut project, each member was introduced to the public through a solo promotional single in a periodic fashion over the following 18 months. The group debuted as a full ensemble on August 19, 2018, with the extended play (EP) [+ +], supported by the lead single "Favorite" and the title track "Hi High".

On November 28, 2022, it was reported by JTBC that all of the remaining members, excluding Hyunjin and Vivi, had filed for provisional injunctions to suspend their contracts with the label. On January 13, 2023, HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul, and Choerry were granted a preliminary injunction, and they subsequently signed with Modhaus on March 17. On February 17, 2023, it was reported that Hyunjin and Vivi would be filing provisional injunctions to terminate their contract with Blockberry Creative. On May 9, it was reported HyunJin and ViVi were granted preliminary injunctions, both members signed with CTD E&M two days later. On June 16, it was announced that the remaining members had won the lawsuit against the label, terminating their contracts with the label.

I believe these changes would bring the introductory paragraph in line with other articles of a similar matter. Thetukars (talk) 01:02, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

Contract termination.

Resolved

 – consensus below determines that leaving label/contract termination is not the same as the group disbanding OR the same as members leaving the group

Since all members have terminated their contracts with blockberry, they are no longer members of Loona, and should be listed as such.

After all, Chuu has been moved to Former since she is no longer under contract with blockberry, and the status of the members should also be updated to reflect they are no longer members of the group.

Secondly, @Paper9oll, I believe you were wrong to revert my edits to the main paragraph. My updated version followed the standard structure for disbanded KPop groups, for example, IZ*One.

Is it contentious whether or not they are disbanded? None of them have contracts under Blockberry anymore, they're not members of Loona. Many of the members are already in different companies. Thetukars (talk) 12:49, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

@Thetukars As per existing WP:CONSENSUS, departing from label (any label) is not equals to disband and/or departing from the group. Also do you have reliable sources that explictly stated that, if so it's your WP:ONUS to provide such per WP:BURDEN. @Lightoil @Btspurplegalaxy @Purplelights who previously participated in the previous consensus discussion, what's your thoughts on the above and on the recent events, should the consensus be overturn or be updated or have its status quo remains? — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 12:59, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

The main paragraph looks better now.

After some consideration, I have to agree that departing from a label is not the same as departing from the group. While none of them are under Blockberry Creative anymore, I can see that does not necessarily imply they are no longer part of LOONA, except for Chuu, who was removed from the group.

However, since LOONA was owned (AFAIK) by Blockberry, who makes the decisions of who is part of LOONA and who is not? If none of them have contracts with Blockberry, but Blockberry owns the rights to LOONA, then simultaneously, how can the members also be a part of LOONA? For example, if they wanted to promote as the original twelve with Chuu, then surely they would need to get approval from Blockberry (which wouldn't happen), or another company would have to buy rights to the LOONA name? If none of them have contracts tied to either Blockberry or LOONA, then how would they remain members of the group? Wouldn't departing from a label but remaining in a group require a different process? Thetukars (talk) 14:48, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

@Thetukars If you want an example to your scenario, BB Girls (previously Brave Girls) is an recent example with the same concern raised by your scenario pertaining to naming rights which is similar here, even though I would assumed that Blockberry Creative like every other label would have copyrighted the group name, regardless the scenario you mentioned is not for us (Wikipedia editors) to worry about, those are fans concerns which isn't our problem here. We only write what was reported explictly by reliable sources. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 15:13, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for the example, I see your point, and I have to agree with you. My apologies. Thetukars (talk) 16:27, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

This isn't your typical situation of members departing a company because of their contracts expiring, so I don't think it ought to be viewed as them simply disbanding. They've all just gotten their contracts terminated, so I think it's best to see what they may have planned with regard to the group. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 19:46, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

I think it is best we wait till it is officially announced that Loona has disbanded before labeling them as disbanded. Lightoil (talk) 08:48, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

on Modhaus' website it states that HeeJin, Kim Lip, Choerry & JinSoul are FORMER Loona members

https://www.mod-haus.com/ PoxKelly (talk) 15:31, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

I see Modhaus has recently just signed a fifth member, so if they're successful in securing contracts for the remaining members, I propose we change the name to Artms. I know Modhaus has stated that "Artms" isn't a new name, but at the same, all the legal rights belong to Blockberry. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 20:07, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

It would be better to start a new article or a redirect in that case, we see that hyunjin and vivi have signed with ctd enm and chuu is with atrp, I don't think that the members are all going to be part of the artms project, however they may in the future participate in activities as twelve members (it's unknown, but entirely possible), so loona will remain loona and the artms project will remain as that Thetukars (talk) 19:01, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

The group isn't disbanded but Modhaus called HeeJin, Kim Lip, JinSoul and Choerry and HaSeul 전 멤버 ("former members") in their statements (1, 2), while CTDENM used 출신 ("former members" again) for HyunJin, ViVi, YeoJin, Go Won and Olivia Hye (1, 2), so it seems that Yves is the only remaining member now. --Chiya^ko92 13:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Olivia hye -> Hyeju

 – Using the name that is preferred

With Hyeju changing her stage name from Olivia Hye to Hyeju, how should this be shown in the article? ie, Hyeju (formally Olivia Hye)? https://twitter.com/ctdenm/status/1676516279933624320 Thetukars (talk) 14:12, 6 July 2023 (UTC)  Changed all cases of Olivia Hye to HyeJu (including related articles) Thetukars (talk) 14:31, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

The Name section

In the name section, it talks about how the name is the Korean letters rearranged. I think it would be great if you could add information about how the integration of the latin letters “Pi” and “Delta” to the name causes it to, literally, sound like the word “looped”. It would be nice if you could also include how the “Loonaverse” being looped is also a theory of lore inside the fan community.

Chuu as former member?

Should Chuu be listed as a former member when all of the current LOONA members treat her as a member, both ARTMS and LOOSSEMBLE's marketing revolves around the number 12 and the members have been adamant that LOONA is 12 from the start? Since they are no longer under BlockBerry Creative, to me it seems that their decision to dismiss Chuu from the group seems invalid, and no longer their decision to make but the members, who have made it clear they view Chuu as LOONA. I will not edit the page or anything without permission, but I'd just like to start a conversation. Greenpie4949 (talk) 22:38, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

@Greenpie4949 As per existing WP:CONSENSUS (see archives), all of the members except Chuu has not departed from Loona, in which this was also explictly sourced using WP:Reliable sources. Do you have any reliable sources that explictly stated that (do take note of WP:SYNTH), if so it's your WP:ONUS to provide such here per WP:BURDEN. Also note a list of sources considered as unreliable listed under WP:KO/RS#UR and WP:RSP. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 06:08, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

@Paper9oll I did not mention the other LOONA members departures, however my point is that since none of LOONA are under BlockBerry, surely Blockberry's decision that Chuu is not a member shouldn't override the member's own decisions saying that the group is 12? I don't really understand the terminology of your response and won't be looking further into it. Wikipedia editing is not for me. However I have stated my question and started a conversation. I would argue that BlockBerry creative is NO LONGER a credible source when it comes to dictating who is a LOONA member and who is not. That is all. Greenpie4949 (talk) 15:15, 13 August 2023 (UTC)

Why is still present? All members have a different activities including the creation of Loossemble. This will be considered active until 2022 as currently no announcement of their comeback. - Jjpachano (talk) 04:54, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

@Jjpachano As per previous discussion unless there is a reliable source to support such, we don't include end date. In addition, there is already a note stating "Indefinite hiatus" hence I don't see why this is even an issue to begin with? I also don't see what is your obsession with changing years active as my watchlist often shows you doing such, in which, you were previously been told off on such behaviour. Regardless, there is no WP:CONSENSUS to override the status quo. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 18:09, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Not against previous consensus, but as other articles including April (girl group), DIA (group) and Pristin shows that years active is not about between debut and disbandment, but in activity period. I'm sorry that i did not clarify at the first - Jjpachano (talk) 21:14, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

Changing "Years active"

I think the years the groups was active should be changed from "2016 (2016)–present" to "2016 (2016)–2022 (2022)", as the group hasn't been active since then. I understand why users may be against it, but the text won't imply that they've broken up, as group that have are written in the past tense.

Agreed. Marking all members except Chuu as active under the Loona name is just misleading by this point, as all members including Chuu are only active now under non-Loona projects. Nipahagain (talk) 19:01, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

I'm fine with the change of it but the note of indefinite hiatus needs to be kept beside the year. In terms of disbandment they never officially disbanded. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 20:26, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

@Btspurplegalaxy: I disagree with the note stating that the group is inactive, as the text in the article is written as a group that hasn't disbanded, compared to other that have. For example, BIGBANG is written as an active group, yet the last year it was active was 2022. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 14:12, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

Rewording opening sentence

Please change the sentence "Starting in October 2016, as part of a pre-debut project, each member was introduced to the public through a solo promotional single over the following 18 months in a periodic fashion." to "Starting in October 2016 and lasting for 18 months, each member was introduced to the public through a solo promotional single as part of a pre-debut project."

Reason: This change is requested to improve the readability of the introductory paragraph. The current sentence may be problematic due to excessive sentence length, and the sentence structure may be difficult for many readers to process. Tukars.7z (talk) 13:16, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
