Merge services here[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Discussion closed due to the lack of consensus for over almost 2 years. Wefk423 (talk) 17:15, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I think Kakao services / subsidiaries like KakaoStory, KakaoGroup, KakaoTaxi or KakaoPage have doubious stand-alone notability and would be best merged here. Only KakaoTalk seems to have enough independent coverage to stand alone. Thoughts? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 07:26, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

At least Ka ka os to ry seem to have lot more than enough notability. Same for ka ka ot ax i. Simple Google with Korean terms gives numerous news coverage excluding the ad-like sponsored articles. Did not check Page and Group. — regards, Revi 11:49, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge all here. Keri (talk) 08:59, 22 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - I do not think the others are notable on their own. EricPfromTustin (talk) 21:33, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Don't merge - Revi's evidence seems to suggest that at least some of them are independently notable. Hazarasp (talk) 04:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Closing, given lack of consensus over almost 2 years and no specific refutation of the sources provided by Revi and on the article-space pages. Klbrain (talk) 13:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

020?[edit]

And they have plans to evolve as a '020 company' in Korea. Many new business models are heading up to the 020 sections. A what company? Should this be O2O = Online to offline? And what is it exactly? Or is it related to this Chinese movie?--88.73.33.23 (talk) 18:41, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

KakaoGames?[edit]

Is KakaoGames, the ones who created Black Desert Online, the same group as Kakao as a whole? I realize the article does say they deny plans for gaming services, but the logo colors at the bottom of their site look familiar.

Grammatical errors[edit]

Quite a few grammatical errors in the article.

Examples: "Kakao keep denied their plans" should be, "Kakao kept denying their plans." "chiness-chess" should be "Chinese chess." "And they ARE also ready" is how it should be worded. Minor things like this, but I don't have time to go through and fix these myself. 172.115.56.220 (talk) 22:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

fixed these. There are more may get to. EricPfromTustin (talk) 21:37, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Unbalanced and advertisement template added[edit]

Hello all. This article is a bit unbalanced, especially here. Parts such as:

"The new name will help bolster the corporate brand as a mobile life platform maker, which isn't fully expressed through the current name representing two merged firms. They want to clarify their identification as a mobile company with a new CEO.",

"The new CEO established a new vision for the company",

"Kakao had a great challenge about their new profit"

Please replace that section if any other better replacements could be found. Cheers - Wefk423 (talk) 15:04, 15 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
