April (band) → April (girl group) – Sources overwhelmingly describe the subject as a "girl group" - see DSP to Unveil New Girl Group April in 2015; Rookie girl group April makes debut; Girl group April out with 'Eternity,' avoids playing sexy card. In fact, they are described in the article itself as a "girl group" several times, and as a "group" over two dozen times, but never as a "band". bd2412 T 21:42, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

All Kpop girl group articles have titles like this, so if this page is moved the others should be moved as well. All of them are referred to as girl groups far more than bands (as far as I know). Random86 (talk) 23:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- I would agree with moving all of them. There are many comparable groups in the encyclopedia that use "group" as a disambiguator rather than "band" - see TLC (group), Steps (group), Home Free (group), Little Big (group), Xscape (group). bd2412 T 23:50, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support moving to April (group). Just "(group)" as a disambiguator is sufficient. Paintspot Infez (talk) 00:49, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Girl group is a very specific genre, and immediately informs the reader of the kind of ensemble at issue. bd2412 T 14:20, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
if moving then Support moving to April (girl group). Just "(group)" can mean anything. witness Anonymous (group), Heaven's Gate (religious group), Al-Shabaab (militant group), ETA (separatist group). In ictu oculi (talk) 14:16, 5 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
