Global revision: Change from “Kim” to “Jin”

[edit]

Could we make a global revision and refer to Jin as “Jin” rather than “Kim”?

First, “Jin” is how he’s known as a BTS member. While the stage names of other BTS members are used in their respective wiki pages, “Jin” is a more appropriate option for the sake of coherence.

Second, “Jin”, “Seokjin”, and “Kim Seokjin” – but rarely just “Kim”, if ever – are how he’s addressed officially by his music label, by the media both foreign and local, by his fans, and in his own introduction in various appearances.

Also, using “Jin” helps avoid misunderstanding because two other members also share the same surname “Kim”. ElfZiry (talk) 05:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The other BTS members all have their stage names as the title for their page, could we change Jin’s page title from “Kim Seok-jin” to “Jin”, for the sake of coherence?
By doing so, we can then make a global change from “Kim” to “Jin”, which is a better option for the reasons cited above, in the original question. ElfZiry (talk) 06:26, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ElfZiry Not sure if you read the FAQ above, but I will linked it here again in case you didn't actually read it or couldn't find it. The FAQ already answered your queries. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 06:33, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I had only read FAQ (A2) before I made my previous reply. Thanks for pointing me to the full FAQ section, where (A1) has answered my question. ElfZiry (talk) 06:43, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@ElfZiry No worries. Paper9oll (🔔📝) 08:22, 17 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Photo

[edit]

Could you add a newer and nicer photo of him, please? There are so many photos of him from the Astronaut promo and his photofolio. Looks like you didn't even put effort in searching. And refer to him as Jin under the photo because is his stage name. Thanks 181.94.233.126 (talk) 16:50, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– Both singers are CLEARLY the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as they are popular worldwide as members of BTS. I searched for both "Jin" and "RM" on Google and both BTS members popped up first. Whaddaya think? RMXY (talk) 02:39, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • As noted above, looking at https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=RM we see a lot of interest in the musician, however, there was a relatively small total traffic of 788 or 737 in a month (this difference is a bit confusing in itself, but helpful as it reminds us not to treat this data as gospel), and then 242 visits to the proposed primary topic. That's just ~30-33% going there. It could mean that they can't find the musician, but it's the first entry in the list, so that seems unlikely. The more likely explanation is that the remaining ~67-70% of the readership is interested in something else. It wouldn't make sense to send all those people to the musician and have them click a hatnote to get back on track, unless the musician's long-term significance is also overwhelming compared to all the other topics. --Joy (talk) 15:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Clan

[edit]

He's currently categorized under Category:Gwangsan Kim clan, but there's nothing in the body of the article to support that. Can someone find a source for that and add it into the body? toobigtokale (talk) 12:27, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You can use the same source used for RM, both Jin and V said their clans immediately before (or after) him. Chiyako92 16:42, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
