Hi Poirot09! Just wanted to gauge your interest in submitting NewJeans discography as a featured list candidate, seeing as you are the main editor - it looks to be in great shape, and I have a feeling that it would pass with flying colors over at FLC. I can always help out if you're up for it, but of course if you're not interested, that's totally fine; just wanted to put forth the idea! joeyquism (talk) 19:56, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Joeyquism Hi, sure, I'd like to work on it! I think it might be best to wait until September since I've been (and am still) pretty busy this summer. However, if you already have suggestions on eventual improvements feel free to leave them here. I'd really appreciate the help and I might find some time here and there to work on the article. Poirot09 (talk) 20:52, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Awesome! There's absolutely no rush; I'm also expecting to be very busy in the coming month, so don't stress yourself out over any non-existent deadlines. As far as improvements that could be made - I think the only one that I can come up with right now is that the lead should incorporate some background on who NewJeans are (a couple of sentences - perhaps even just one seems to be standard? - about their formation and their members would suffice). I believe Girls' Generation discography is the only other featured K-pop discography, so of course feel free to reference that for other aspects of the article. Otherwise, the sourcing is great and the information included is looking comprehensive. I'd love to be able to get NewJeans up to FL with you; they're my (and very likely everyone else's) favorite 4th gen group so far! joeyquism (talk) 04:07, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok thanks! Looking forward to working with you. Poirot09 (talk) 10:00, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
