WasteOfLife 600 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Apparently the nerds who moderate Wikipedia are on a "notability" kick and have trained their sights on KPop. Here is a list of the articles they are discussing deleting for not being "notable" enough for their completely arbitrary standards of newsworthiness. Is a group, song, or event YOU stan for on this list? 1.1 Big Bang Japan Dome Tour 2014 1.2 Ha Jae-Suk 1.3 David Joseph Pruett 1.4 Got7 1st Japan Tour 2014 1.5 CHI-CHI 1.6 JYJ Euro tour 2014 1.7 No. MERCY (trainee) 1.8 Seventeen (band) 1.9 Pantech Vega Racer 1.10 Shinee World III 1.11 Shinee World 2014 1.12 Base (Jonghyun album) 1.13 Can't Leave 1.14 Shine (Shinee song) 1.15 Kim Jungah 1.16 Rebekah Kim 1.17 Lee Kaeun 1.18 E-Young 1.19 Oh My God (NC.A song) 1.20 Crazy You 1.21 Scent of NC.A 1.22 My Student Teacher 1.23 Black Pearl (Exo song) 1.24 Machine (Exo song) 1.25 Two Moons (song) 1.26 Angel (Exo song) 1.27 History (Exo song) 1.28 What Is Love (Exo song) 1.29 People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy 1.30 Get Down (Shinee song) 1.31 Señorita (Shinee song) 1.32 Luhan (singer) 1.33 SM Town Live '08 1.34 SM Town Live World Tour IV 1.35 With: Live Tour 2015 1.36 Shinvi 1.37 One Year Later (song) 1.38 Purplay 1.39 Papaya (band) 1.40 Gavy NJ 1.41 Dana & Sunday 1.42 Secret 1st Japan Tour 1.43 Park Cho-rong 1.44 MOOC 2.0 My main question is: why now? It's so out of the blue. Are they running out of room on the internet that they have to go deleting pages? Do they have some kind of delusion of grandeur that the public expects only the MOST important things to be on Wikipedia, when in fact we assume that EVERYTHING is on Wikipedia which is why we go there for information? Why are they this picky with pages when they let ANYONE edit articles? And their standard is totally arbitrary and Western-centric: every single town in the US gets to have a page, but not every kpop group gets to have one? I've learned a lot about lesser-known groups like CHI CHI through their wikipedia pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camelliabloom 4,557 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 LMAO if you click on it, it's basically saying that Luhan, Jungah, Kaeun and E-Young aren't relevant outside of their groups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex crossing 2,895 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 LOL at the Luhan one. "Despite Asdklf's best intentions (and I appreciate their efforts) I do not see the notability for this person outside of his band..." Really, man?

Irrelephant 4,710 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 whole thread on this for those who want to know more http://onehallyu.com/topic/130431-snsd-2ne1-big-bang-shinee-and-other-artists-info-on-wiki-being-deleted/ It's really upsetting to see everyone's work being torn to shreds like this. Fans need to start looking elsewhere to archive k-entertainment based events and information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans need to start looking elsewhere to archive k-entertainment based events and information. I'm pretty sure if enough k-pop fans get together that a k-pop or Asian entertainment wikipedia would be possible. I wouldn't mind coding one if I got together a team tbh.

littlegreenelf 386 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 E-young? Does she have to visit them and crush them with her talent? Also Kaeun? You evil people! Pledis, you might consider giving E-young and Kaeun some work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...... 3,962 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 only thing (person) relevant to my interests on there is Juggles... but given that she's done pretty much nothing outside of After School...i'm not raising much of an eyebrow over an AS redirect. Like...if you look at her wiki page... she has only 3 actual individual credits (out of only 8 mentions of activity). The other 5 things are things she did with groupmates (i mean...one of those credits is being in an OC mv)..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
