Conan Gray
  • ... that the upcoming debut album Kid Krow by Conan Gray (pictured) is inspired by his difficult upbringing in Georgetown, TexasTexas? Source: Conan Gray Says His Forthcoming Album Kid Krow Was Inspired by His 'Pretty Tough' Childhood (People) Conan Gray on Being the Pop Prince of Sad Internet Teens, Growing Up in Texas, and His Upcoming Debut Album (Teen Vogue)

  • Comment: The Teen Vogue source indicates that Gray specifically grew up in Georgetown, however I couldn't find a place to put it in the album's article. ALT2 is more interesting yet controversial because despite the fact that he found it difficult growing up mixed-race in Texas is present in many articles (Teen Vogue: "Being a mixed-race kid growing up in Texas definitely affected who I am as a person, [it] made me feel like I didn't really belong anywhere." Notion: "Growing up in the middle of Texas being mixed race made him feel isolated, for example, he was one of three Asian kids in his entire high school of 2000 students..."), we have yet to find out if that specific theme is present in the album.

  •   New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. Article has one fair-use and one freely-licensed image; the freely-licensed image is on this nomination and is suitable for DYK. I've struck ALT1 for the vagueness of "unsafe household" and also struck his birthplace, which is not mentioned in the article. I think ALT2 is the most hooky, though ALT0 is also verified and cited inline. I tweaked ALT2 based on the source, and also formatted the hooks. Good to go.

Wikipedia does ads now? I don't like this promotion of product because it will likely set a bad trend; it's too easy to buy crowdclicks to get nominations, and then nominations become meaningless. Does this fall under WP:PROMOTION? Henrik Erlandsson 12:15, 12 March 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by HenrikErlandsson (talkcontribs)
