Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... The page was not created by Philippinesfan. It was created by me. Waykurat nominates it for deletion because it was created by sock puppet account which is Philippinesfan. Please fix this issue. --ArriehM (talk) 11:57, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

You should investigate it first before you nominates it Username:WayKurat. ArriehM (talk) 12:08, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, Waykurat’s claim is evidently unsubstantiated. ArriehM is the page creator. Please fix this. SenyorOtter (talk) 12:09, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (the page was created by user ArriehM, not by blocked user/sock-puppet Philippinesfan. Also, the page was edited/improved substantially by ArriehM and yours truly since its creation, with reliable citations added. Since then the mentioned sock-puppet has not added significant contributions to this page that may compromise its legitimacy. Please reconsider this.) --SenyorOtter (talk) 12:07, 16 January 2021 (UTC)

Spotify list

@AstrooKai. need to clarify. Didn't they previously top the list on April 18, making the first Filipino distinction proper on that date and not June? Borgenland (talk) 08:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, @Borgenland. Yes, they previously topped a list on April 18, but that was for Spotify's Daily Top Songs Philippines chart. The recent event of them topping in a Spotify chart was for the Daily Top Artists Philippines chart, where they surpassed Taylor Swift on June 14. AstrooKai. (talk) 08:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Point taken. Thanks for the clarification. Borgenland (talk) 08:27, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Happy to help. AstrooKai. (talk) 09:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

Requested move 17 June 2024

Bini (group) → BINI (group) – Borgenland (talk) 15:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Polyamorph (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC) Every RS is referring to them in uppercase. Borgenland (talk) 15:46, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

• Strongly oppose per MOS:TRADEMARK. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 • [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 16:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as per 98Tigerius; Spam (food) is not at SPAM. Howard the Duck (talk) 16:35, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
• Oppose as per Wikipedia's policy on trademarks, as cited by 98Tigerius. While the group uses all caps in their branding, Wikipedia's conventions generally favor sentence cases for article titles on conditions like this. Similar cases exist where the trademark of a group is stylized in all caps, but not here on Wikipedia. Consider Blackpink, Got7, and Seventeen as examples. Normally, these are stylized as BLACKPINK, GOT7, and SEVENTEEN, respectively, but not here. AstrooKai (talk) 17:44, 17 June 2024 (UTC)

I'd like to clarify then, does trademark take precedence over usage in RS and secondary sources (at least in this case)? Borgenland (talk) 02:10, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

I'm unfortunately not sure about that one. The general rules of MOS:TRADEMARK says that standard English text formatting and capitalization must be followed, regardless of the formatting commonly used by trademark owners. Although, there are some exceptions where the trademark is stylized the same way as from reliable sources.

Exceptions may apply, but Wikipedia relies on sources to determine when an unusual name format has become conventional for a particular trademark; only names that are consistently styled a particular way by a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are styled that way in Wikipedia.

— MOS:TRADEMARK

Perhaps, this exception clause can be placed into consideration. AstrooKai (talk) 07:04, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

For reference, I did run through every major newspaper and the big 3 television networks in the country, plus Rappler, after which I felt a move could be justified. Borgenland (talk) 08:22, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

That may be a good point. However, in the examples I mentioned, they are also often referred to with their group name in all caps in many sources, yet they are not stylized in that manner here on Wikipedia. AstrooKai (talk) 18:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

MOS:TRADEMARK itself makes it clear that [W]hen deciding how to format a trademark, editors should examine styles already in use by independent reliable sources. "BINI" being common usage in reliable sources (excluding ABS-CBN, as they are not independent from the subject) means it should be the article title in use here per policy. We follow what sources say — if they also don't capitalize, we're in the right; if they don't, we're in the wrong. Taking a cursory look at how reliable sources call the band, the capitalized version is in most common use; we should move the page as a matter of policy. Chlod (say hi!) 10:32, 23 June 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting to allow more time for consensus to develop Polyamorph (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

• Oppose. Per MOS:ALLCAPS, "Avoid writing with all caps (...) when they have only a stylistic function." That's all this is, a stylism. 162 etc. (talk) 18:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Other ventures expansion

Hi, I'm AstrooKai. I have expanded the "Endorsements" subsection to provide more details about each of Bini's endorsements, see this for the differences between the previous and the expanded version. Here's a summary table of the expansion:

Expanded	Excluded
Maybelline	Coca-Cola
Modess	Keds
Super Crunch	Globe Telecom
Samsung	Pond's
Puregold	Bioderm
Shopee
Jollibee

Five were excluded, as there was not enough available information available from reliable sources. The Coca-Cola event was excluded as it doesn't fall under "endorsement," rather it falls under the category of collaboration. As a result, a new subsection called "Collaborations" was introduced to accommodate these events. Should the notability of these collaborations be not enough for their inclusivity in the article, its removal can be discussed here.

The expansion may contain some errors, so feel free to fix them. If there are any concerns regarding the expansion, feel free to drop them here. Thank you. AstrooKai (talk) 14:11, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
