Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... all of the articles contained in this page are true and WJSN is debuting in January. So I hope you won't delete this article because the authors put a lot of effort in writing this article so that more new fans would acknowledge about this group and their background including pre-debut. --175.137.194.168 (talk) 07:55, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (wjsn is a real debuting group with a growing fanbase and i can asure you that this is not a hoax or any thing of that nature) --195.41.29.24 (talk) 10:45, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (Cosmic Girls, also known as WJSN, are rising in popularity and are from a major company. They have been receiving lots of attention especially in South Korean media. ) --98.210.50.131 (talk) 01:29, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

WJSN instead of Cosmic Girls?

It seems they are using WJSN more than Cosmic Girls. Their official facebook page and they're debut album only use the name WJSN. Cosmic Girls is nowhere to be seen on either. I suggest we move the page to that. RatiziAngeloucontribs 07:50, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Their official page still uses Cosmic Girls. That may be the preferred name for international use. http://starship-ent.com/cosmicgirls/ Evaders99 (talk) 08:29, 25 February 2016 (UTC)

Yeonjung: Is she part of a sub-group?

Hello,

Is there any evidence that Yeonjung is part of a SUB-UNIT? If there is NO reliable source proving so otherwise, then I'm going to restore Yeonjung as a "Non-Unit" member.

Thank you,

Infobox image

Would it be possible to change the infobox picture to a more recent one? It wouldn't have the chinese members, but I think it will be more accurate than a picture that's 5 years old. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.24.28.180 (talk) 10:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Member's status quo

As stated earlier and sourced in the article, Starship Entertainment only explicitly announced and confirmed that the 3 Chinese members (Xuanyi, Cheng Xiao, and Meiqi) had departed from the group following the expiration of their contracts. However, it wasn't explicitly announced nor confirmed by Starship that Luda and Dawon had departed from the group other than confirming that they chose not to renew their contract with them.

As per English Wikipedia guidelines and policies, we should NOT and must NOT add original research and thoughts and speculation into the article hence until we have actual explicit announcement with actual confirmation, the status quo of Luda and Dawon will remains as it as current member. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 06:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

um, i saw the news it's says that "[Exclusive] WJSN Reorganizes Eight-member System...Except for Luda, Dawon, and Chinese members" [1] 121.133.40.84 (talk) 07:02, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
@121.133.40.84 It wasn't explicit confirmed by Starship themselves neither does the partially quoted statement from Starship included in the article you provided stating anything of such. Fyi, news articles headline can be misleading and clickbait at times, of which this is one of them as heading doesn't correlate with content. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 07:11, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
even member(dawon) said it on here. translate is on you. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 07:20, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
and some translations from news.
Other Korean members of WJSN, Luda and Da-won, were also excluded from the team as they completed their exclusive contracts with Starship. Sun Eui, Cheng Xiao, and Mi Gi, Chinese members of Yue Hua Entertainment, who worked with WJSN, also automatically terminated their contracts as Cosmic Girls.
(i used translator.) 121.133.40.84 (talk) 07:21, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
There has been no direct confirmation of Korean members Luda and Dawon leaving WJSN despite not renewing. Until then, they will remain listed as members of the group. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 07:38, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
NO. IT IS ALREADY CONFIRMED. Why don't you admit that 2 members of group have left? Even member said it on Instagram. do you want some translations? 121.133.40.84 (talk) 07:56, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
You'll need to provide a source that explicitly states she has left the group. Referring to translations of her letter, I have not found any mention that she has formally left. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 08:25, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Why don't you admit it? A number of sources have already shown that the Chinese and two Korean members have excluded from the group and not renewing their contracts. See the news from [2] I ALREADY SAID ON ABOVE.
Other Korean members of WJSN, Luda and Da-won, were also excluded from the team as they completed their exclusive contracts with Starship. Sun Eui, Cheng Xiao, and Mi Gi, Chinese members of Yue Hua Entertainment, who worked with WJSN, also automatically terminated their contracts as Cosmic Girls. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 09:04, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

THERE ARE NUMEROUS KOREAN NEWS SEE THE TRUTH. [3] 121.133.40.84 (talk) 09:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

[4] some members of WJSN, a female idol group that marks its 7th anniversary this year, leave the team.

Starship Entertainment said in an official statement on the 3rd, "Recently, eight members of WJSN, Exy, Seol-A, Bona, Soobin, Eunseo, Yeoreum, Dayoung, and Yeon-jung, have been re-signed," adding, "Luda and Da-won have long and in-depth discussions, but unfortunately, they have completed the exclusive contract."

"I would like to express my deep gratitude for the hard work and dedication that Luda and Dawon have shown so far. We respect the choices of Luda and Dawon, and will support and support new activities and the way forward. In addition, the three members of Yuehua Entertainment, Sun Eui, Cheng Xiao, and Mei Ki, who worked with WJSN, will automatically terminate their contracts as WJSN, he said. --121.133.40.84 (talk) 09:37, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

It's not uncommon that idols leave their respective companies and still remain as members of their groups. But you've been told several times, you'll have to wait. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 09:42, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Oh my goodness. Even I give the fact from reliable source(he gave the WP:KO/RS and i accept it) which you said, you don't accept it. STOP AND ADMIT THE FACT. You make me angry. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 09:47, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

As Btspurplegalaxy and Paper9oll wrote, please wait for more information before changing the status of Luda and Dawon. Lightoil (talk) 09:46, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

It is clear that the two Korean members have already withdrawn from the group. People who revert the article act like turning a blind eye to the truth so as not to accept the facts. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 09:52, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
@121.133.40.84 Firstly, please stop your WP:SHOUT, this is unacceptable behaviour. Secondly, I believed I had already answered all of your repetitive (read as spam) queries pertaining to the same topic in my initial reply today at 07:11 UTC whether you read it or don't like it doesn't change my mind. In addition, Dawon IG post which I had also read it only indicated her thanking Starship and asking fans to support her moving forward nowhere in her IG's post caption indicating she had left WJSN. Thirdly, I echo the same thoughts as what fellow editors had replied above. Lastly, there are clear consensus as of this comment that the status quo remains as it's. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 10:48, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I didn't shout to you. My opinion is not a spam. I don't quite understand that my fact is called "spam" even though I've proven the truth.
You're just not admitting my facts. Members withdrawal is fact. Isn't Wikipedia a site to write down facts? Have you ever read my sources? 121.133.40.84 (talk) 10:55, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I want to ask you something. Why don't you admit the facts and revert my edits even though I bring so many sources?
Not only me but also other users edited about member's withdrawal with the sources. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 11:00, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
@121.133.40.84 Fyi, WP:SHOUT to anyone here regardless of registered editor or unregistered editor is an unacceptable behaviour. While your opinion isn't a spam but you repeating the same thing over and over again is per WP:EXHAUST, and also this isn't a WP:BATTLEGROUND. Do also read WP:TRUE and WP:TRUTH. As of this comment, you don't have any consensus to change the status quo of which 3 editors (including me) had oppose your arguments. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 11:06, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Please wait these is no deadline we don't need to change the article so soon without waiting for all the facts when it is not clear whether Dawon and Luda have left WJSN and not just Starship Entertainment. Lightoil (talk) 11:10, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I told you. It is clear that leaving the group is already decided. Officially, they said "8 memebers system"(13 - 3 chinese - 2 Korean members) from various news. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 11:14, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

@121.133.40.84 Enough is enough, at this point you're simply being WP:DISRUPTIVE. As stated earlier, it wasn't explicitly confirmed by Starship themselves nor the members. We look at the article content NOT the headline as headline can be misleading and clickbait at times, of which multiple source that you had included here, all of them has headline that doesn't correlate with the content. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 11:23, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I'm not editing after 52-whalien's restoration. im just talking in wikipedia page. not WP:DISRUPTIVE
it's not only the title, but the news article itself also says it about withdrawal. Are you saying i am a lier? 121.133.40.84 (talk) 11:27, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Then i want to ask you. Why is the withdrawal of a Chinese member accepted? According to your logic, only "Chinese members have not renewed their contracts" is on the news. Could you give me the "reliable sources"?121.133.40.84 (talk) 11:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
@121.133.40.84 I'm actually referring to your behaviour here. For the Chinese members, the various news articles DOES explicitly stated such (if you read partially or only read headline for whatever unknown reason then this isn't my problem) and is inline with Starship Entertainment official full statement. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 11:42, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
statement? i bring some translations
Hello. This is Starship Entertainment.
First of all, we once again express deep gratitude to UJUNG (WJSN’s fan club) domestically and abroad who provide unchanging love and support for WJSN.
Starship Entertainment recently renewed contracts with the eight members Exy, Seola, Bona, Soobin, Eunseo, Yeoreum, Dayoung, and Yeonjung of our agency artist WJSN.
We carried out sincere and in-depth discussions with members Luda and Dawon for a long time, but unfortunately our exclusive contracts [with Luda and Dawon] will come to an end. We express deep gratitude for the great efforts and dedication shown by Luda and Dawon until now. We respect the decisions of Luda and Dawon and will cheer on and support their new activities and paths ahead. In addition, as for the three members Xuan Yi, Cheng Xiao, and Mei Qi of Yuehua Entertainment who joined WJSN promotions, their contracts as WJSN have automatically come to an end.
Regarding the members who we renewed contracts with based on our loyalty and faith for each other, we will contribute all of our efforts for WJSN’s activities and for the members to shine brighter with their activities in various fields, and we promise to not hold back on providing our full and systematic support.
Please show warm encouragement and support for the WJSN members who are standing at a new starting line.
Thank you.
(i didn't translated the Starship Entertainment statement, translations from here)
that also says about luda and da-won's end of contract (of WJSN). what is the diffrence? 121.133.40.84 (talk) 11:49, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
@121.133.40.84 I'm pretty sure I'm not blind. This statement "for the three members ... of Yuehua Entertainment who joined WJSN promotions, their contracts as WJSN have automatically come to an end" explicit stated that for the Chinese members. Whereas this statement "We express deep gratitude for the great efforts and dedication shown by Luda and Dawon until now. We respect the decisions of Luda and Dawon and will cheer on and support their new activities and paths ahead" doesn't explicit stated that Luda and Dawon had left the group and is also ambiguous with multiple interpretation of which we shouldn't WP:SPECULATION when it's unclear and the ambiguity is high.
Regardless, this was already answered right from the beginning. I also don't see how this discussion between you and me would go anywhere, I continued to oppose your argument echoing the same stand as the other 2 editors hence this will be my last reply to you exclusively unless something changes between now and then (of which the term "then" has no deadline). Goodbye for now! Paper9oll (🔔📝) 12:01, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I also pretty sure im not blind. "new activities and paths ahead". If two members keep WJSN member, would they say "new activities and paths ahead"? if they contracted new agency, and keeps WJSN member, they wouldn't say like that and mention it in detail. But two members even doesn't have a agency at now. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 12:15, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Give it a rest. We've already explained to you how it was. It's not necessary to drag this out any longer. There has already been a consensus reached on this matter. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 12:29, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Don't ignore the facts. Several other language wikipedia accecpted the withdrawal of 2 members and fixed that. Only English Wikipedia doesn't admit it. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 13:28, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Please stop arguing, Wikipedia in different languages have different rules. English Wikipedia does not need to have the same content as them. Lightoil (talk) 13:35, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Also, WJSN is a South Korean group. So i gave reliable sources from Korean news and I even translated it to explain in English. But all of you don't accecpt the facts. What more can I do for it?
I have a question. Do you think I'm lying to bother you or giving the facts? 121.133.40.84 (talk) 13:48, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
There is something you need to know, and other people knew that two Korean members had left, so they tried to revise it. In other words, I am not the only one making this argument. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 13:53, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Be patient please, don't just initially puts other people under your fire because of things that is vague and didn't explicitly stated. Many reports say that they're just completed their contract and didn't even stated they had leave the group aside of Chinese members, Momoland & Gfriend confirms their disband by posting handwritten letters saying that they're no longer a group, but we need news reports source to make sure everyone knows everything and not just straight up jump into their SNS for so. You can't simply force people to accept things that <you think as a fact>. Please watch for your behavior as well, we're all had been told by the policies to stay civil and polite when discussing Egapehtnokcilc (talk) 13:59, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
I didn't put on fire to Btspurplegalaxy and Paper9oll. They made me angry first for reverting the article thousands time. They said "give me the reliable sources". I gave numerous news and facts. But they just ignored my words and keep reverting the article.
How will you be responsible for this action if I'm right? I edited the document because I am Korean so I can check the information faster, so why should this be ignored? Is English Wikipedia unfriendly to people from other non-English speaking countries? 121.133.40.84 (talk) 14:23, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

[7] This is the Naver profile of WJSN. Chinese members and 2 Korean members(Luda and Da-won) are excluded. So they officially excluded from the group. Also, luda profile and Da-won profiles says Career: ~ 2023.03 Member of group "WJSN". See?--121.133.40.84 (talk) 15:13, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

I heard that one user is embarrassed at using English. May I show you some articles mentioning about Da-won and Luda? I am quite careful about participating this discuss, since I was asked for help by 121.133.40.84 at my user talk page in kowiki. I swear I will discuss this only based on reliable sources, not my original research. Also, though I was asked for help, I will only verify whether Korean reliable sources(WP:KO/RS) ran an article mentioning about Luda and Da-won's withdrawl. --LR0725 (talk) 18:32, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

I found some articles written by reliable sources(WP:KO/RS), and cited part of them. Hope this can be help for everyone's discuss.
  1. NEWSIS - "우주소녀 다른 한국인 멤버 루다, 다원은 스타쉽과 전속 계약을 마무리했다. 이에 따라 팀에서도 빠지게 됐다." - "Other Korean members of WJSN, Luda and Da-won wrapped exclusive contracts up, and withdrew from team in turn.
  2. OSEN - "우주소녀가 루다와 다원의 전속계약 종료로 8인조로 재정비된 가운데..." - "While WJSN is reorganized to eight members due to the cancelling of exclusive contract with Luda and Da-won..."
  3. Yonhap - "스타쉽엔터테인먼트에 따르면 루다·다원은 전속 계약 관계를 끝내기로 했다." - "According to Starship entertainment, Luda and Da-won decided to finish exclusive contracts."
  4. OSEN (2) - "루다, 다원만 우주소녀를 떠나는 게 아니다." - "Not only Luda and Da-won is leaving from WJSN."
I saw articles from other naver news articles, too, such as no cut news, TV CHOSUN, and News 1. These articles are saying same things: 1. Luda and Da-won finished exclusive contract with Starship entertainment. 2. WJSN is reorganized into eight members group. 3. Luda and Da-won is leaving WJSN. Therefore, writing Luda and Da-won as former member at member status quo seems rational, considering WP:VER. I am originally science field editor at kowiki, not interested in entertainment at enwiki, so there can be something wrong about interpreting articles from entertainment field articles, or policies of enwiki. Tell me if there is something to be corrected. Thank you. LR0725 (talk) 18:58, 3 March 2023 (UTC)
Not all articles are reliable, unless there's a confirmation from either Starship or these 2 members, we just have to wait. Egapehtnokcilc (talk) 08:43, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
@Egapehtnokclic: I gave you many articles from reliable sources, then you must gave other reliable sources that can disprove those articles. You mean that all the articles that I gave have written wrong news? LR0725 (talk) 14:17, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
Also, Luda and Da-won already said that they are leaving WJSN in their instagram, as many articles prove. All the articles we can find state that they are leaving the team. Do you have any verifiable and reliable evidence that Luda and Da-won did not finish contract? LR0725 (talk) 14:21, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
The articles you provided can be disregarded, as Starship Entertainment clarified that both Luda and Dawon are still members of WJSN despite leaving the company. Source: [8] Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 18:59, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
@121.133.40.84 next time don't canvass on Korean Wikipedia. Lightoil (talk) 00:17, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
@Btspurplegalaxy @Lightoil It's so strange that you didn't participate the debate, when LR0725 gave a reliable sources that says withdrawal is right. You didn't contradict about the LR0725's opinion at that time. Why didn't you contradict the LR0725's opinion?
And, [9] it's TV report's news.
The source you gave is not on the list WP:KO/RS. You said "give me a reliable source", but why did you submit a news press that is not on this list WP:KO/RS as source? According to your opinion, you are also not giving a reliable source. This is inconsistent. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 05:19, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
TV Report is not unreliable. Not every media outlet news source will be listed at WP:KO/RS. The big difference between the source I provided was Starship Entertainment themselves confirmed the members never left, while LR0725 sources only included what the reporters were saying, not anything directly mentioned from the members or the company. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 05:42, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
But first time, when I gave the reliable sources, you said.
Now you says that "Not every media outlet news source will be listed at WP:KO/RS."? Are you serious? Why are you contradicting your own claim? What is the evidence that "TV report's news" is reliable source?
And I have a question. why didn't you participate in the discussion when the user LR0725 was refuting it at that time? Before the news(about says it's not withdrawl) is out, my opinion and LR0725 were logical. 121.133.40.84 (talk) 06:01, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
I haven't participated in this talk because my English is not very good. LR0725 used reliable articles which are listed at WP:KO/RS, and TV report's news is never a relicble source. I don't know why you keep repeating the claim that LR0725's source is not reliable.
This is the official position of Starship Entertainment. -- ginaan(˵⚈ε⚈˵) 06:02, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
I didn't participate in the conversation as I wanted to wait and see if Starship or the two members would make an update regarding their position within the group and that was addressed directly by the company. Starship Entertainment said directly to TV Report: “Luda and Dawon have not left WJSN.” There is no reason to keep this discussion going. At this point and time, everything is being repeated. Nothing will change. Read what I mentioned, comparing the sources. My source has a direct statement from the company, as LR0725's sources does not. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 06:54, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Thank you for your response. It is not an official position of Starship Entertainment. And, I have repeatedly told you that this media outlet is not a reliable source. The sentence below is the official position of Starship Entertainment.

당사와 멤버 루다, 다윈은 오랜 시간 진솔하고 심도 있는 논의를 이어왔으나, 아쉽게도 전속 계약을 마무리하게 되었습니다.(We and members Luda and Darwin had long and in-depth discussions, but unfortunately the deal fell through.)

Thank you. ginaan(˵⚈ε⚈˵) 08:18, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Probably you are talking about this part of article, right?

이에 우주소녀 소속사 스타쉽엔터테인먼트 관계자는 이날 TV리포트에 "루다, 다원이 우주소녀에서 탈퇴한 것은 아니다"라고 밝혔다.

But this is not a direct statement from Starship Entertainment. As we can verify from the statement at official fan cafe, the official fact declared from Starship is that Luda and Da-won finished contract. The article you gave us is just a claim from news article. We cannot verify this from any other articles or official statement. If official statement from Starship Entertainment exists, let us know that. LR0725 (talk) 08:34, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
It's not uncommon for company's to reach out to media regarding everything. I want you to translate this text: 이에 우주소녀 소속사 스타쉽엔터테인먼트 관계자는 이날 TV리포트에 "루다, 다원이 우주소녀에서 탈퇴한 것은 아니다"라고 밝혔다. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 08:44, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
-> Personnel from Starship entertainment, WJSN's label, said that "Luda and Da-won did not left WJSN." at interview with TV report.
However, official statement from Starship said that their exclusive contract is over, and all the other reliable sources wrote that WJSN is reorganized to 8-members team. Actually, we cannot verify whether TV report really did interview with belivable personnel. Maybe they could write wrong thing by mistake, or person they interviewed may knew wrong thing. List of reliable sources at WP:KO/RS means that those sources warrant enough reliability, and TV report does not. LR0725 (talk) 08:56, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Also, even if we acknowledge TV report as a reliable source, it does not mean that an verifiable official statement of Starship Entertainment change. According to the article from TV report, only one person from Starship said that Luda and Da-won did not leave WJSN, but all the other evidence, such as official statement from Starship, reliable news articles, and members' Instagram, reveals that WJSN became the 8-members team. LR0725 (talk) 09:05, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
If you look at the article, member Soobin, mentioned them as a 10 member group and Starship shared to TV Report to confirm what that member said. I highly doubt it's unreliable. I don't see why a reporter would make a whole claim on Starship Entertainment's behalf, as that doesn't seem likely. Btspurplegalaxy 💬 🖊️ 09:16, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
Been silently following this discussion however it's time for me to voice out. Nowhere did me, Btspurplegalaxy, Lightoil, Egapehtnokcilc stated the source provided by LR0725 are considered as unreliable source so STOP twisting our words around. We did emphasized clearly that we're looking for official statement directly from Starship Entertainment themselves regardless of through secondary news sources however this clearly wasn't fulfil. We also did emphasized clearly that we look at the article's content instead of the clickbaity headline. However, what we instead got is constant replies of the same content from multiple news agencies aka spamming just because the clickbaity headline stated so 🤦‍♂️ which clearly doesn't help in building consensus and instead only annoyed us as this clearly isn't what we had asked for hence no replies or simply ignored. I also did emphasized clearly that the message posted by Starship Entertainment shows no indications of Dawon and Luda leaving the group itself while it did thanked them for their efforts however as stated earlier, this is ambiguous and we shouldn't made WP:SPECULATE however obviously some IPs think otherwise and decided disrupt the process by WP:FORUMSHOPPING and also violating WP:CANVASS. In addition, WP:KO/RS doesn't needs to have an extensive list of yes and no, TV Reports falls exactly under Naver News in which noting that the URL provided is exactly Naver News (entertain.naver.com on desktop/PC or news.naver.com on mobile). Lastly, WP:CIR is required here on English Wikipedia for understanding/interpreting English well enough to communicate with fellow editors instead of taking our replies out of context and twisting back and forth until it wasn't what was replied initially as seen above multiples times.
