Addition of images on infobox[edit]
I would like to know why to place images of artists in the infobox about music genre? Who chose which artists would be notable here? There aren't Big Bang, BoA, and others. In addition, what is the point of this type of edition that doesn't bring improvements to the article? In pop music article, we haven't images of Michael Jackson and Madonna on infobox, in rock music article we haven't images of Elvis and Beatles. This is because the articles already mention the notable artists.

Split the page?[edit]
Hi guys, this page has gotten absolutely massive. I think there's a good argument that K-Pop has become such a significant topic in recent years that many elements of K-Pop are deserving of their own articles.
This will allow for more in-depth analysis of certain aspects of K-Pop, as well as simplifying this behemeth of an article.
I would propose the following dedicated pages be created: K-Pop Dance, K-Pop Trainee System, K-Pop Fan Culture.
In my opinion, discussion of these topics would be more fruitful in their own dedicated articles. It would also allow the current sections on the main K-Pop article to be simplified.
I would be happy to create the drafts of these articles. Itzybella8 (talk) 01:49, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

- The initial proposition of Itzybella would take out from the page some of the most interesting part of the page.
- For me what is really problematic are the constant repetitions and borderline promotional paragraphs.
- The whole "popularity and impact" is absurd. It goes on and on on listing every single place where something happened or was well received. It could all be summed up in 1/10 of the space.
- Same goes for the "social media" section, completelly redundant. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 23:30, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Split the popularity and foreign relations sections into "Impact of K-pop" leaving a summary here. Maybe the industry and history sections can be their own articles? The other sections all seem to be essential. Vacosea (talk) 11:21, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think that the industry section provides a lof of vital info. Especially the "criticism" section should be top level and not a subsection of industry, and it is already quite compressed.
- Other sections seems relevant as well, they are just extremelly long for the sake of publicity which is annoying. I would do as you said, give them their own page and keep a fair summary.
- All of this requires consensus though, a lot of people are going to disagree and there is so much stuff to trim down. Already in the summary there are 12 music genres, basically most of them, being mentioned... Makes no sense. And why does it link to the page South Korean culture? It's so strange to read, as if it was promoting that page. and the following paragraph "While "K-pop" can refer to all" etc is so so confusing and unclear. I get the point they want to make but it makes no sense and takes so much extra words.
- As you can see there are so many issues, I'd start to edit but I am afraid I would be immediatelly be target with reversions. Cinemaandpolitics (talk) 14:06, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
Is K-Pop a music genre?[edit]
This discussion has been moved to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Korea and Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Music per WP:APPNOTE and WP:INAPPNOTE.
Due to my recent contributions being reverted/deleted, I think there needs to be a consensus if K-Pop is a musical genre or not. I'll go first; I think K-Pop is a musical genre because of numerous reasons 1. Most K-Pop music is recorded in South Korea and released in South Korea. 2. If you can tell the difference between K-Pop and other songs, then it's pretty easy to tell which song is Korean. 3. K-Pop has a unique style that can be easy to differentiate. 4. K-Pop isn't just a musical genre, it's an industry, distributed and promoted in a very different way than other territories, even if it's just a little bit
I understand that Wikipedia is fact based, and I'm not here to make or promote vandalism, maybe even if it's a trait of mine, I have no to intention to make Wikipedia a bad place. Maybe this topic can turn into an article. Tonkarooson (talk) *new editor* 21:56, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
