Question from Royiswariii (04:56, 15 December 2024)

Hello, CFA! I would like your opinion on our discussion about whether Grand Biniverse should have a standalone article. You can find the discussion here: Biniverse § Clarification regarding succeeding concerts as part of the tour.

To provide some context, Biniverse is a concert tour by the Filipino girl group Bini, and Grand Biniverse is a solo concert by Bini as well. The term Biniverse has existed long before this tour, dating back to Bini's debut era. However, some editors are claiming that Grand Biniverse is part of the Biniverse tour, which I strongly disagree with. (Unfortunately, I can't locate the discussion where this claim originated.) Although, it shares the same name as Biniverse, Grand Biniverse is a way different type of concert which is a solo concert, meaning it is a one time only performance. On the other hand, the upcoming Grand Biniverse: Valentine Repeat is also a distinct concert."

Laurenti Dyogi, ABS-CBN's Head of Entertainment Production, clarified in a tweet on July 6, 2024, that Grand Biniverse was a new show and distinct from the previous shows. You can see the tweet here: .

So what do you think, it is need to be a separate article on this? --Royiswariii Talk! 04:56, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Royiswariii. There is no requirement that topics have to be explicitly distinct in order to create separate articles. WP:SPLITTING has some advice on the matter: In some cases, refactoring an article into child or sister articles can allow subtopics to be discussed more fully elsewhere ... but only if the new articles are themselves sufficiently notable to be included in the encyclopedia. Ultimately whether to split subtopics out is an editorial decision that should be worked out on the talk page. One relevant guideline is WP:PAGEDECIDE, which says: the decision should always be based upon specific considerations about how to make the topic understandable, and not merely upon personal likes or dislikes (emphasis mine). There are a few things you should consider, including size, notability, the amount of coverage, and whether reliable sources discuss them separately. I haven't looked into this specific case as I'm not familiar with the topic at all, but hopefully some of the links I've given you will help. Happy editing, C F A 02:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

A7 on Crystal Brothers

Hello CFA -- I declined this because there were clear claims about the subject's career in ballet sufficient to meet the low threshold of A7; subsequently dropping the name in Proquest/Ebsco comes up with quite a few substantive hits in specialist press, and I think it's possible that the subject may actually be notable. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 04:14, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Interesting — I'll take a closer look. Thanks for letting me know. C F A 16:01, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi Artwhitemaster. Sure. I'll have your training page ready for you by the end of the week. C F A 16:07, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Jennifer Cook

Hi CFA, back again! Could you take a look at Jennifer Cook? At the moment, the article refers to a healthcare executive, but I feel that the author might be the primary topic, given her recurring appearances on Love on the Spectrum. If not, then I'd recommend another disambiguation page. APM (talk) 11:43, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I agree — It looks like Jennifer Cook O'Toole is the clear primary topic here. It's probably worth a discussion to see if the author's article should stay at Jennifer Cook O'Toole and get the primary redirect, or simply take over Jennifer Cook. In the mean time, I've nominated the pharmacist's article for deletion as she does not appear notable. C F A 21:30, 21 December 2024 (UTC)
