Talk:List of South Korean girl groups/Archive 1

Untitled
Are you still working on your draft? Looking forward to reading it!

Peer Review - Xe I like the direction you're going with this topic, branching with different concepts, publicity, and even controversies. Here are a few questions/suggestions I have for you:

As for the profiles of the girl groups, what is your criteria for including certain groups? Additionally, it would be interesting if you include what distinguishes the generations from each other

Under the "Award" section, it would be great to have a list of "top hits" and "album sales."

Don't forget to add citations!

There are some sentences that can be expand, for example:

"all-female idol groups who account for a large portion of the K-pop industry" --> list revenues generated from girl groups; ratio of boy to girl groups, etc.

What made the first generation girl groups successful?

"gender bias does still uniquely affect these groups and their members in a variety of avenues." I hope you can explain the implications gender bias creates.

Those are all the suggestions I have for you! Can't wait to see where you take this article!! Xchang20 (talk) 02:13, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Notability
How is this article notable? Why is it different from List of South Korean idol groups - we barely allow a list of K-pop idols and we don't need a entire table of random trivia. Concepts are ever vast and subjective. Then we get a list of K-pop boy bands and we go off the wall... Evaders99 (talk) 09:12, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Generation problem
I found that there is no such criteria to divide generation of South Korean girl groups. So, I think we should edit those generation-thing. -- Wendylove (talk) 10:12, 28 December 2020 (UTC)

What are the criteria for groups in the table vs in the list?
I have moved Aespa to the list rather than the table, considering they have yet to have a music show win, or a true "break-through" when compared to other groups in the list section of the 3rd generation (CLC, Pristin, etc.) They also have no award wins yet, so it feels a bit silly to put them in this category already. Once they inevitably get more awards, I would agree that it makes sense, but being from a large company does not automatically enshrine you as a "Best Selling Group," as the table label reads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukestepford (talk • contribs) 00:56, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
 * I have the same question, because I think that LOONA should not be in the list, because if compared to gidle they are both top notch, LOONA got their first win, they have lots of achievements, breakthroughs and awards. I think they are notable enough to be on the table. Eduemoni↑talk↓  13:53, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Loona doesn't have a hit single. Anyway, I don't exactly agree with dividing groups between the more successful and less successful. This should be fix in the future.TheHotwiki (talk) 14:40, 4 December 2021 (UTC)

Listing down the members
Is listing down the members of the more successful girl groups really important to this article? Not every girl group member listed in this article has their own Wikipedia article. We can also just check the Wikipedia article of the girl groups for those links. I don't see it necessary, compare to enumerating the successful singles/best selling album to prove why certain girl groups are the best selling of their generation. Also certain sub-units of less popular girl groups (like Loona) aren't also mentioned in this article, only the more successful girl groups get to have their sub-unit/s listed in the article. I think members/sub-units should be removed from the table. Hotwiki (talk) 00:52, 27 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Okay, its been several hours since I brought this up in this talk page. I am removing members and sub-units from the table now per my reasonings. I hope no one has a problem with it. Hotwiki (talk) 06:32, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
