Overall: This is a solid article with a very interesting hook, BeanieFan11. Spotchecked source 3 and found no issue. Earwig shows no copyvio. QPQ done. Most of the article is well-sourced, except for the Members section, which I believe should be sourced as well. (See Stray Kids#Members or Seventeen (South Korean band)#Members) Please notify me once the sources are added. —👑PRINCE of EREBOR📜 14:12, 27 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

@Prince of Erebor: Thanks for the review. I reused the BBC ref for the members section, as it mentions them all. BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:36, 27 February 2025 (UTC)Reply

The reason we're reverting your efforts is because Be Boys is not notable here on the English Wikipedia. If you believe the band should have an article, draft it at Draft:Be Boys and submit the draft via Articles for creation. Jalen Barks (Woof) 18:27, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Just because something is not available on English Wikepedia does not mean that it is not true. But I will gladly create the article for Be Boys if outside sources are not sufficient enough to get misinformation removed. Luzzyyy (talk) 18:43, 7 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
