• ... that the British musician Yunè Pinku takes the first half of her name from the Japanese word for 'cloudy' and the second half from the Swiss children's program Pingu?

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing: - Unsure about whether the subject directly dropped out of Yale and Cambridge after a month at each university, as the article states. Source 3 states "Her love of creative writing goes back a long way; she briefly studied it at university before dropping out." and source 7 states "...even applying and getting into journalism courses at Yale and Cambridge on a whim", but it's not clear if these were courses she attended and then dropped out of after a month. I'd prefer a clearer source for this claim.
• Neutral:
• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Just want some clarification on the university issue mentioned above before I'd be happy to sign this off. I also like ALT0 the most! pinktoebeans ^(talk) 12:48, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

I assumed one accredited the other, but on reflection it's too vague to be useful, and I can't find any other sources to that effect. I've taken it out.--Launchballer 20:08, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Japanese word for 'cloudy'

Yune is not the Japanese word for 'cloudy'; 'cloudy' in Japanese is kumori/kumotte iru or maybe very rarely donten. Where is this name from? 67.198.30.42 (talk) 19:48, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

I agree! There is no known Japanese word yune at all! this being a Did You Know? on the main page is embarrassing for Wikipedia. Maybe this singer heard the word yume 夢 “dream” and got confused…? In any case 曇り and 曇天 are clearly not yune. Removing this nonsense. (Heroeswithmetaphors) talk 19:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Idk. There is 雲煙 (un'en) which means "cloud and smoke" which is as close as I could get to yune. Sheila1988 (talk) 20:07, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
