Which article are you evaluating?
Seventeen (South Korean band)

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate it not just for personal reasons (I'm a huge fan of the music artist) but because I noticed it was missing some bits and pieces on some of the other endeavors the members have done. A big reason why I chose this article is because they're missing information on the members solo projects. For example, The8 has several standalone songs, Woozi has a mixtape called Ruby, and Vernon has a mixtape called Black Eye. Most of the members have done solo work, and while some of them have their own Wikipedia pages, it's not highlighted on the group one that they do solo work.

Additionally, I wanted to include some more about their fandom, Carats, and how the name came to be. I also wanted to touch on some other important bits of the fandom's culture such as their lightstick and colors, which I think would be nice to include on the Wikipedia page as well.

Evaluate the article
All the content looks accurate and impartial to my knowledge. There's nothing that seems to be dated either, since it's a biography on the group. While the years might make the content seem old, it's part of the group's history and is essential to capture. However, the endorsement portion seems to be a little unnecessary and could be condensed. If we were also looking at endorsements I'm certain a few might be missing since it only tracks to Face The Sun era of 2022. When looking into this article, I'd like to add more information, rather than try to remove or condense information. I'm looking specifically at adding some additional information about individual members and their solo or duo projects, especially since some of them don't have individual Wikipedia pages. Furthermore, there are some songs, mini albums, and EPs missing in their discography section, such as their song A-teen which was made for a web drama. While it does reference a bigger article, giving it a nod in the main group one would be nice as well.

I think I'd like to also add some more information on their fans, Carats, and how they play a role in the group including notes on lightsticks, the group's colors, etc. This could add more about the group since an artist's fans and fan culture, especially in K-pop, holds immense significance. For example, BTS has an impact section, and I could add a fandom subsection to Seventeen just as they have.

I also want to add more on their musicality and artistry. I noticed some K-pop groups have music audio samples, and I can expand on the short paragraph for Seventeen. Their discography is incredibly diverse and adding more, other than the fact that they're self produced could help expand the article. For instance, BTS has a lyrical themes section to their artistry section, and we could do this for Seventeen, since their songs tackle loss, mental health, and love, which often are packaged in easy to sing about metaphors. As a self producing group, highlighting their lyrics could further emphasize the notion that they write and create their own music. Furthermore, we could add more about how they dance and perform, since they're known to be incredibly in sync with each other.

In terms of the tone it's all very neutral. This is a biography and while there may be opinions present through quotes on the group, they come when describing their musicality. This is a given however since it gives a better image of the group's music. Otherwise, praise is often stated in the awards they've won rather that personal opinions or quotes from others. However, there are some quotes, but they are references and carry sentiments that echo other news sources I've seen in the past.

Yes the citations work and align with the right pieces of information. The facts on this list are tied to references from neutral sources, most of them news companies or press releases, sharing about the group. The sources are from diverse places and are in both Korean and English.

The talk page is empty other than the notification that I'm student editing it. It's rated B-class in term of Wikipedia's content assessment scale and low importance for both Korea and pop music. Furthermore, since it's based on real people there's a notice that anything that's poorly sourced or libelious must be removed immediately.
