This article was nominated for deletion on September 1, 2015. The result of the discussion was delete.

On 29 September 2024, it was proposed that this article be moved from Jun (entertainer) to Jun (Chinese entertainer). The result of the discussion was moved.

Chinese name

Because his Chinese name is 文俊辉 (Wen Junhui), that means 文 (Wen) is his last name. A few parts of the article use Wen instead of Jun/Junhui. Should it be used in this way? Or should we begin using Jun/Junhui instead? Mixsmirai (talk) 11:12, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wen should be used per WP:SURNAME Evaders99 (talk) 20:34, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Cool cool. It just looked confusing to me but now it all makes sense. XD. Mixsmirai (talk) 07:10, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Article restored

Wen Junhui was a child actor who played leading roles in multiple films and won the Hong Kong Film Directors' Guild's Best New Performer Silver Award in 2007, long before he became a member of Seventeen. As such, he easily satisfies the notability criteria per WP:ENTERTAINER. -Zanhe (talk) 06:07, 31 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 29 September 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. The consensus leans towards supporting the move to a more specific disambiguation. Although some oppose the change, the reasoning for disambiguation—especially with clear precedents from WP:NCP—holds more weight. The name "Jun" is shared by two entertainers, and clarifying this by adding either the nationality ("Jun (Chinese entertainer)") or the birth year ("Jun (entertainer, born 1996)") provides necessary clarity.

The most suitable new title is "Jun (Chinese entertainer)", as it is clearer and avoids confusion based on nationality, following Wikipedia's disambiguation practices for individuals in similar fields. (closed by non-admin page mover) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:36, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jun (entertainer) → Jun (Seventeen singer) – (alternative titles welcome, perhaps Jun (entertainer, born ~~1997~~1996), though that's not ideal either) – Currently ambiguous with Lee Jun-young (entertainer), who comes up first in a search for jun actor. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 19:33, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Correction included above with strikethrough. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps Jun (Chinese entertainer)? Generally group names are not used to disambiguate but nationalities would work here. orangesclub 🍊 21:35, 29 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - No need to disambiguate this article any further unless we're also planning to move Lee Jun-young (entertainer) to the "Jun" mononym which is currently not in the cards. A hatnote on this page would be sufficient to disambiguate per WP:ONEOTHER. RachelTensions (talk) 09:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: as per RachelTensions and nominator's rationale is not convincing as he contradicting reliable sources about two different individuals. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 ^{[𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺]} 09:18, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Per WP:DAB, disambiguation is about topics, regardless of whether the topic names are an exact match for the article title or not. Both of these people are entertainers who are widely known simply as "Jun". Pageviews show that neither topic is very dominant for readers. Including the name of the group is a conventional way to do this disambiguation, as in the WP:NCP examples Roger Taylor (Queen drummer) and Roger Taylor (Duran Duran drummer). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Including the name of the group wouldn't be appropriate here because we're disambiguating the word "entertainer", not two different musical groups (they're ambiguous because they're both singers & actors, not because they're both members of a group). "Jun (Seventeen entertainer)" would be kinda weird, no? RachelTensions (talk) 16:20, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We could resort to the birth year, I suppose, although that's clearly undesirable. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:33, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm curious why we'd opt for year of birth instead of nationality? Especially seeing as this Jun's acting career is based in China and the other's is in Korea, it could be expected that people reading up on them would be able to determine which they're after unlike with their years of birth which are close enough together that it isn't obvious. Examples of similar disambiguations:
Hoshi (South Korean singer) vs Hoshi (French singer)

Zain Abbas (Hong Kong cricketer) vs Zain Abbas (Pakistani cricketer)

Abdul Aziz (Indian politician) vs Abdul Aziz (Bangladeshi politician)

With that said, I'm leaning oppose based on Racheltension's hatnote suggestion. orangesclub 🍊 01:53, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Using nationality seems like a good idea to me; sorry for missing that. The hatnote-only approach would be WP:INCOMPLETEDAB and thus highly undesirable. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 06:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your second sentence seems WP:OR to me as reliable sources never stated that Lee Jun-young are widely known as "Jun". 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 ^{[𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺]} 12:49, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per BarrelProof. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per User:BarrelProof. The current title seems to be an incomplete disambiguation. Disambiguating by nationality would be fine too. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 13:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Not ideal, but he has the same YOB as the other one and he may be Chinese but he's a member of a South Korean band. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:18, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Necrothesp: This Jun was born in 1996; the other one was born in 1997. Although this Jun is in a South Korean band, he has also had a significant amount of notability in China, and is known for release of a Chinese cover of one of the band's songs (with lyrics in Chinese that he wrote), so I suspect he may not be perceived as Korean. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 15:57, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They’re born in different years. RachelTensions (talk) 16:14, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake. In that case, I support Jun (entertainer, born 1996. -- Necrothesp (talk) 07:37, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I still oppose (I think moving this article because of another person who doesn’t even use this article title makes things unnecessarily complicated), but if the consensus ends up being to move, we need to clarify exactly what we’re moving it to because “Jun (Seventeen singer)” as the nomination is for right now is definitely not the appropriate title in any circumstance. RachelTensions (talk) 16:21, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My preference is Jun (Chinese entertainer). My second choice would be Jun (entertainer, born 1996). —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:39, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
