Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... The page was not created by Philippinesfan. It was created by me. Waykurat nominates it for deletion because it was created by sock puppet account which is Philippinesfan. Please fix this issue. --ArriehM (talk) 11:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

You should investigate it first before you nominates it Username:WayKurat. ArriehM (talk) 12:08, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, Waykurat’s claim is evidently unsubstantiated. ArriehM is the page creator. Please fix this. SenyorOtter (talk) 12:09, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (the page was created by user ArriehM, not by blocked user/sock-puppet Philippinesfan. Also, the page was edited/improved substantially by ArriehM and yours truly since its creation, with reliable citations added. Since then the mentioned sock-puppet has not added significant contributions to this page that may compromise its legitimacy. Please reconsider this.) --SenyorOtter (talk) 12:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Spotify list
@AstrooKai. need to clarify. Didn't they previously top the list on April 18, making the first Filipino distinction proper on that date and not June? Borgenland (talk) 08:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello, @Borgenland. Yes, they previously topped a list on April 18, but that was for Spotify's Daily Top Songs Philippines chart. The recent event of them topping in a Spotify chart was for the Daily Top Artists Philippines chart, where they surpassed Taylor Swift on June 14. AstrooKai. (talk) 08:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Point taken. Thanks for the clarification. Borgenland (talk) 08:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Happy to help. AstrooKai. (talk) 09:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Bini (group) → BINI (group) – Borgenland (talk) 15:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Polyamorph (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC) Every RS is referring to them in uppercase. Borgenland (talk) 15:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Strongly oppose per MOS:TRADEMARK.  98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂  •  [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺]   16:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per 98Tigerius; Spam (food) is not at SPAM. Howard the Duck (talk) 16:35, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose as per Wikipedia's policy on trademarks, as cited by 98Tigerius. While the group uses all caps in their branding, Wikipedia's conventions generally favor sentence cases for article titles on conditions like this. Similar cases exist where the trademark of a group is stylized in all caps, but not here on Wikipedia. Consider Blackpink, Got7, and Seventeen as examples. Normally, these are stylized as BLACKPINK, GOT7, and SEVENTEEN, respectively, but not here. AstrooKai (talk) 17:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'd like to clarify then, does trademark take precedence over usage in RS and secondary sources (at least in this case)? Borgenland (talk) 02:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm unfortunately not sure about that one. The general rules of MOS:TRADEMARK says that standard English text formatting and capitalization must be followed, regardless of the formatting commonly used by trademark owners. Although, there are some exceptions where the trademark is stylized the same way as from reliable sources.
 * "Exceptions may apply, but Wikipedia relies on sources to determine when an unusual name format has become conventional for a particular trademark; only names that are consistently styled a particular way by a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are styled that way in Wikipedia."


 * Perhaps, this exception clause can be placed into consideration. AstrooKai (talk) 07:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * For reference, I did run through every major newspaper and the big 3 television networks in the country, plus Rappler, after which I felt a move could be justified. Borgenland (talk) 08:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * That may be a good point. However, in the examples I mentioned, they are also often referred to with their group name in all caps in many sources, yet they are not stylized in that manner here on Wikipedia. AstrooKai (talk) 18:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * MOS:TRADEMARK itself makes it clear that [W]hen deciding how to format a trademark, editors should examine styles already in use by independent reliable sources. "BINI" being common usage in reliable sources (excluding ABS-CBN, as they are not independent from the subject) means it should be the article title in use here per policy. We follow what sources say &mdash; if they also don't capitalize, we're in the right; if they don't, we're in the wrong. Taking a cursory look at how reliable sources call the band, the capitalized version is in most common use; we should move the page as a matter of policy. Chlod (say hi!) 10:32, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
 * As several have pointed out above, "most common" is not the criterion for style choices, and never has been. Dicklyon (talk) 19:16, 30 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Relisting comment: Relisting to allow more time for consensus to develop Polyamorph (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Per MOS:ALLCAPS, "Avoid writing with all caps (...) when they have only a stylistic function." That's all this is, a stylism. 162 etc. (talk) 18:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:TITLETM / MOS:ALLCAPS. The recent mood on Wikipedia is to strongly avoid all-caps. Per Dicklyon, this is the case even when all-caps seems the most common form. This title is not an initialism or even a backronym. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:28, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per above. HueMan1 (talk) 01:04, 1 July 2024 (UTC)

Other ventures expansion
Hi, I'm AstrooKai. I have expanded the "Endorsements" subsection to provide more details about each of Bini's endorsements, see this for the differences between the previous and the expanded version. Here's a summary table of the expansion:

Five were excluded, as there was not enough available information available from reliable sources. The Coca-Cola event was excluded as it doesn't fall under "endorsement," rather it falls under the category of collaboration. As a result, a new subsection called "Collaborations" was introduced to accommodate these events. Should the notability of these collaborations be not enough for their inclusivity in the article, its removal can be discussed here.

The expansion may contain some errors, so feel free to fix them. If there are any concerns regarding the expansion, feel free to drop them here. Thank you. AstrooKai (talk) 14:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

Chronological fix
Inviting editors engaged in this subject to find ways on how to make the history section less of a WP:NEWSPAPER, especially since the formula tends to be repetitive announcements of an upcoming event followed by the actual event, which is kind of confusing especially if an unrelated event happens in between like the announcement of the Biniverse concert date in April followed by their packed schedule before the actual concert. Borgenland (talk) 16:04, 6 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Does this apply to the entire history timeline? Or specific timespans only? AstrooKai (talk) 05:34, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * So far it sticks out in 2024 and in the debut. Tho I made some reductions in debut a few weeks before. Borgenland (talk) 07:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll see what I can do.  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  07:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I have revised the 2023–present subsection for readability and narrative flow. It is also an attempt to address this issue. If you notice any other copyedit issues that I have overlooked or unnoticed, feel free to fix them.  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  12:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Currently making minor edits. I am now exploring the possibility of splitting the Biniverse concert into a separate chapter to segregate the in-betweens (Chinese TV, Independence Day and Bini Run). Borgenland (talk) 15:19, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Made the fix just now. My suggestion for now is that references referring to upcoming events be replaced or merged once these performances/events have taken place to avoid overcite. Borgenland (talk) 15:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, but would it be more appropriate to place the 2024—Solo concerts as a sub-subsection of the 2023–present subsection? Logically, the newly added section still falls within the 2023–present timeframe.  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  15:48, 7 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Suggest removing the 2024 part to avoid confusion in editing. As for the title should it be formally called the Biniverse for the sake of precision? Borgenland (talk) 16:16, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Suggestion of moving concerts section
Since the recent change, the concerts section has grown considerably. Would it be worth moving it to a new article dedicated to the group's live performances?  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  17:19, 9 July 2024 (UTC)


 * For perspective, both SB19 and BGYO have dedicated live performances articles. Borgenland (talk) 17:49, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Biniverse regional leg
Hello! It has come to my mind about the regional leg of the Biniverse: The First Solo Concert. Since the NFT concert is listed under the headlining concerts, would it be also appropriate to have the regional leg listed under it? Or possibly other subsection (e.g. concert tours)?  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  14:21, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It is indeed a headline event. An explanatory note can do. Borgenland (talk) 14:26, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Would it be more appropriate to list them as individual items in the table? Since it would be too lengthy to be an explanatory note since the events will be held on different place at different times.  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  15:36, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * suggest putting them in the list then place a footnote next to the reference. Borgenland (talk) 15:41, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * And how would the concert tour will be called?  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  15:43, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Suggest putting a (regional leg) at the end of the event title. Borgenland (talk) 15:45, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * And (international) for the overseas ones, all under Biniverse. Borgenland (talk) 15:48, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Something like this? "Biniverse: The First Solo Concert (Regional)" "Biniverse: The First Solo Concert (International)"  AstrooKai &#9474;  Talk  15:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * +leg/tour). Borgenland (talk) 15:57, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
