Guidelines. It is common to refer to celebrities by short forms such as Ozzy, Oprah, or Beyoncé, but this style is not appropriate for an encyclopedia. As WP:NCP puts it: "Don't use a first name (even if unambiguous) for an article title if the last name is known and fairly often used."
Professional credits. The argument for moving the subject to this lemma was that this was her WP:STAGENAME or professional name. I have looked into this issue and I don't think this is in fact the case. The IMDB entry that this claim was based on has since been corrected. The subject appeared in the 2008 movie Hello, Schoolgirl credited by full name, according to allmovie, MySoju, and HanCinema, plus Korean-language sites KMDb and Cyworld. She was also credited by full name for Going Together, and for a cameo on the sitcom Unstoppable Wedding. I did not find her credited anywhere as simply "Sooyoung".
Other sources. Her Facebook site, KBS profile, and fan site all give the subject by full name. "Sooyoung" is a common name in Korea, so in many situations it would be confusing to refer to her by given name only. For example, there is a character named "Sooyoung" in Hello, Schoolgirl. The Korean press calls her "Girl's Generation Sooyoung," but this solution is certainly not encyclopedic. Kauffner (talk) 10:31, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
That's not true. IMDB was corrected to note that the subject is credited by full name for her role Hello Schoolgirl. The STAGENAME argument never made sense to me, since the current title is simply a short form of her full name. Kauffner (talk) 03:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
Now that Yuri has been moved to Kwon Yuri, all the other members of the band are at full names or stage names (as opposed to mononyms). It's another reason to move this title, per the consistency criteria of WP:NAMINGCRITERIA. Kauffner (talk) 04:45, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
