Regarding article Sunan Stadium. the stadium does not exist. The current geodata refers to the pyongsong stadium that was constructed in 1991[1][2], which is home to the pyongsong striker force which seems to be a football club. Not the sunan stadium and it is a name that never existed. There is no reason to be named sunan when the stadium is not even in pyongyang but in pyongsong. Also the original source was also dubious at best. It is neither mentioned in north korean or south korean sources. And neither in english sources, so the current "fact" is not found anywhere.Waltzingmogumogupeach (talk) 22:01, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

In majority of South Korean actor articles, the filmography tables include a "network" column for any television show. Is there any particular reason for this? This isn't included in any articles of western actors that I have come across, and isn't included in any of the examples listed at WP:FILMOGRAPHY, so I'm not sure why SK articles seem to be an exemption to this? I also found this recent discussion which seemed to be in agreement that a networks column should not be included. Alex (talk) 22:35, 1 March 2022 (UTC)

Imo, it should be Osen per MOS:TMRULES however @Accireioj disagreed stating that it's an acronym of which I couldn't find any evidence of such on its official website. Accireioj also stated that Osen's Korean name is Korean: ㈜오에스이엔; RR: Twa O E-seu-i-en hence should be stylized as OSEN which I still disagreed that I should be stylized in all caps. Hence would like community input on which is the correct usage? — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 06:35, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
There is a discussion at Talk:Vassal state#edit summary for 21 March 2022 on which members of this project may be able to advise. Vassal state has a disputed, arguably dubious, section about Korea during the Qing dynasty that Sylvia379 believes should be deleted outright. I know essentially nothing about the history involved except to observe that the status has been controversial and so we should have at least a short paragraph to cover that controversy.

Moved from Talk:Gaon Social Chart § Chart launch date
The lead says the chart launched in July 2013 but the none of the 4 sources cited (TKH, Mwave etc.) mention this. They all only state the various SNS platforms used in the chart's criteria. I did a bit of digging on Naver and found multiple sources saying it launched in June. Specifically this one from Kyunghyang dd June 13, 2013 saying Gaon plans to launch a new SNS chart at the end of June, followed by other articles dd Aug 2013 that refer to it being launched in June, eg. 1, 2, 3 etc. No articles from July 2013 turned up in my search. Idk if I a diff search term would locate anything for that month. Can anyone provide some insight?

Korea's palace life and Joseon dynasty drama series are popular and greatly influenced on other part of Asian countries including India. It is a major achievement of Korean culture. I'm proud of Korean palace court drama, these are very interesting and amazing. I love to watching and teaching Korean royal culture through movies and TV series. I don't understand why Korean Wiki Editors don't create the about of Joseon historical figures? I've created an article behalf of Korean editor about Hong Guk-yeong, one of the main characters of the current hit drama The Red Sleeve.

Asterisk (*) has been used in many South Korean artists' discographies to denote that a 'record chart' did not exist at that time. But it is actually not an appropriate practice because in multiple occasions songs have charted even on a 'record chart' which started tracking years after the song was released. For example all Blackpink singles since "Ddu-du Ddu-du" have charted on Billboard Global 200 although the chart started tracking in late 2020. Another example would be Aespa's discography. The Vietnam Hot 100 column has been blanked using a note which says "Billboard Vietnam was launched on January 14, 2022." Which is actually contradictory for the fact in the same column "Dreams Come True" which was released in December 2021, has charted on the same said 'record chart'. I just want to say that blanking a column using an asterisk or a note should not be done. But a note on the top, about when a 'record chart' was established or was discontinued, can be added, like in AKMU's discography. -ink&fables «talk» 06:07, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Hello everybody,
I am currently working on a draft about a Korean artist living in Germany (it's a translation of my original german article) and struggling a little with the infobox "Korean Name". So, I have an artist here who uses an alias as an artist, but not a stage name, as she does not appear on stage. There seems to be no infobox for general pseudonyms or artist aliases? Here's the draft on Kyung-hwa Choi-ahoi in my sandbox. Could you take a look and suggest a change or change it directly? Her given name is Kyung-hwa Choi, the name she uses as an artist is Kyung-hwa Choi-ahoi.
Also: is anybody working in the Korean Wikipedia as well and might be able to help with a question concerning a redirect?
Thanks in advance! --Grizma (talk) 10:52, 14 April 2022 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.
)and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}.
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

Binggrae is a very famous company in Korea (maker of Banana Milk [바나나 맛 우유]) and I've submitted it to be an article (I'm surprised why it isn't an article already). However due to seeing how strict the people who approve of article drafts are, I'm beginning to think that it will be declined. I want to buff it up with a lot of sources but I weirdly can't find much even on Naver. Here's the draft --> Draft:Binggrae.

I've noticed that there is a tendency to have separate tables for variety shows and TV dramas in the filmography section of many South Korean artists' articles.

This article is desperately in need of editing: the English is very clunky and sounds machine translated, parts of the article don't make sense in English. Veroberry (talk) 19:01, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
Even though Touring Data is WordPress hosted website, it is probably the most accurate website for touring figures for K-pop artists outside Billboard Boxscore. Not any person can report random figures to this site as the website description says that "We accept reports directly from venues, promoters and agencies", therefore, there is a level of authenticity in their data. Figures that have been reported by Touring Data based on what I've seen is exactly what Billboard Boxscore reports, but the thing with the latter is that they rarely report more than a few number of shows for tours by K-pop artists. Although attendance data reported by media outlets are sometimes available, they are at many times inaccurate as they're off by thousands when comparing them to what Billboard actually reports later if they even report it. Should Touring Data be used if there is no figures from Billboard Boxscore available? ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 14:50, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

Important note, there are already existing discussions here and hereatWP:RECORDCHARTS which denote concerns about the use of Hits of the World where there are already recongised national record charts present. Please note that wikiprojects cannot and should not circumvent content guidelines.

Currently, from my observation, the general understanding amongs editors editing K-pop singer/group/band's article is that, if the song didn't chart on Circle Digital Chart, then the component charts of Digital Chart, will sometime be mentioned in prose in the Commercial performance section, are listed directly in discography table(s) or mentioned via the explanatory footnotes beside the em-dash, and listed as "South Korea (Circle Download)" or "South Korea (Circle Streaming)" or "South Korea (Circle BGM)" in the charts table. Hence in what situation should the newly added Circle Global K-pop Chart be used in discography table(s), used in charts table(s), and be mentioned in prose in the song's article, given that this chart isn't component of Digital Chart. And should this chart also be listed alongside the Circle Digital Chart, if the song has charted on both of them. I believed the situation is similar to the Circle Retail Album Chart in which I have never seen it being mentioned and/or used in song's article, discography table(s), and charts table(s). — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

In 2020, the BreakTudo Awards were determined to be non-notable and its article was deleted per consensus at AFD. However, existing mentions of the awards were not removed across Wikipedia and still remain to this day on several Kpop-related articles. Though I was aware of the AFD at the time, I hesitated to remove the BTAs from the BTS awards page since they were not removed elsewhere once the discussion closed, and that has bothered me ever since. I finally asked about their removal yesterday and have been advised that it is correct to do so. Ik that List of Awards and nominations articles are a very touchy area and can cause contention with those who like seeing many awards listed for their favorite artists, but I am posting here to let other editors of this project be aware in the hopes that you will assist with the removal. -- Carlobunnie (talk) 19:39, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
Similar to the above, should something be done to Soompi Awards as well? While article for Soompi Awards wasn't created (other than in redirect form) before, previous discussions here have stated that only awards that are 2017 and later are considered notable and only if secondary reliable sources that isn't from Soompi themselves can be provided. It has also been discussed various times here in BTS's A&N list which has similar stand, however the discussions there also stated that prior 2017 awards can be included if secondary reliable sources can be provided. Currently there are 100 articles listing Soompi Awards with either secondary reliable sources (excluding these since they are reliably sourced) or completely unsourced or sourced using Soompi website. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 17:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
