- Background should mention Belli's RuPaul appearance.
Done ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:34, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Perhaps me being obtuse but it took me a while to work out what "their 'moneymaker songs'" meant. Consider
... those were their "moneymaker songs" to perform to
or extending the quote to "moneymaker songs that people always tipped them lovely for".- Done ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Describe who Wuornos is, and trim down the lengths of these quotes or incorporate them more into prose. I think the salient points are Belli relating to Wuornos, his aunt being a sex worker, and his sympathy for her abusive upbringing.
- Better? ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:50, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Would be good to say that the album overall has seven parodies and two original songs (Billboard quote
There's two originals
).- Done ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Derrick Barry caption could mention Barry's connection to the album rather than that the image comes from DragCon 2018.
- Done ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Genius writes that the album was renamed Songs in the Key of Nope after Now! claimed copyright infringement. This is pretty substantial information. If there are absolutely no reliable secondary sources that mention this then I think it might be better to cite a Belli social media post than to not mention it at all.
- Great find! I have to say, I did not come across this in my research at all. I won't be surprised if someone removes Facebook as an inline citation as well as the corresponding text, but for now, I've added mention of this using the subject's own social media post. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Is it possible to make a Personnel section? Or is there no information about people involved in the album other than Belli and the three featured artists.
- I am unable to find detailed credits. Not available at Allmusic, Apple Store, Spotify, or Tidal, which seems to be common for these independent digital releases. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Is it worth saying that the album spent two weeks on the Comedy charts?
- Done ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- The article is short, but not too short for GA; and low on sources, but I'm satisfied it's WP:NALBUM notable by the Billboard listing. However, I think squeezing a bit more detail out of the sources we have, particularly Billboard, is possible. (Some relevant sections are the bits around the quotes: "I’m a comedian. I’ve never really considered myself a musician.", "I wanna do songs that drag queens all over could do -- [list of song genres]", "Every artist that I've parodied has been cool with it so far. I know one hasn't loved a version of it, but she didn't sue me over it or make me take it down. They've all been pretty cool.")
- Thanks, but to me, these quotes are more about the artist and their body of work in general than the album specifically. If there are any specific details about this recording you think should be included, please let me know. ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Okay, a couple of specific details then. Mic says "Which of the songs is your favorite and why? / “Hoops” because it involves my sex life and jewelry, two of my favorite things"? Edge Media Network mentions the "Daddy D" video was released on Patreon, with a SFW version on YouTube. And I do still think Billboard's "there's a dance song, there's a country song, there's a jazzy song, there's an EDM song" would be good to mention. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 16:19, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

No neutrality or stability issues, fair use rationale for the album cover is fine and other images have appropriate free licenses. 
On hold for now. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 13:35, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for reviewing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:29, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
@Bilorv: Question: In the Background section, should I note that "Love You Like a Big Schlong" and "Boy Is a Bottom" are parodies of "Love You like a Love Song" and "Girl on Fire", respectively, or is this too much detail? ---Another Believer (Talk) 16:23, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think that's worth saying. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 16:31, 27 June 2020 (UTC)

- Okay, thanks for the speedy responses.
Pass for GA. — Bilorv (Black Lives Matter) 17:04, 27 June 2020 (UTC)
