NCT (group)NCT (band)WP:CONSISTENT: the vast majority of articles at Category:South Korean boy bands use "band" as a disambiguator, not "group".

Additionally Wikipedia seems to have standardized around "boy band" instead of "boy group", and this article already follows that convention in its prose.

  • Oppose per WP:GROUPDAB as "[NCT] members do not perform by playing musical instruments, the members are mainly vocalists". Paper9oll (🔔📝) 08:59, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
    I just found WP:GROUPDAB and came in here to withdraw this RM just as you replied... I guess a bigger conversation needs to happen as to why 80 of the articles at Category:South Korean boy bands use "band" and only 22 use "group", despite "group" being the apparent designated disambiguator. (I know someone put forth a massive RM a few years ago but I don't think it went anywhere)
    Given "band"'s wide use it seems like it has become the de facto naming convention for South Korean boy bands despite what WP:GROUPDAB says. RachelTensions (talk) 09:16, 30 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
