Improved to Good Article status by Kyle Peake (talk). Self-nominated at 07:49, 13 September 2022 (UTC).
Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced. Promoted to GA on September 13, the same day as this nomination. Hooks are interesting, succinct, and reliably sourced, though I prefer the phrasing of ALT1; I always prefer to see ALTs with different facts, instead of simply using them to rephrase the original, but this is a good hook so it's fine. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 09:27, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake and Rhain: my apologies for being a bit harsher on this nom that I normally would be, but I'm not sure the hook is up to scratch. The only reason I say so is because, weirdly enough, our articles on pop and rap songs tend to fall at a disadvantage to readers – they don't often attract much attention. I'll also say that when I read the hook, my first thought is that it seems pretty clear to me how that quote ends up inspiring that song – so there's no reason to click. It happens to be that there's a richer story under that quote, but the hook doesn't really hint that there might be more to the story. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 02:07, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron Maybe I should change to something potentially more interesting, like "originated from a basic vocal track" or "originated from a basic track of him singing"? K. Peake 07:58, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: I would say that those both also seem rather ordinary? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 17:37, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
- Theleekycauldron I have proposed a new ALT if this is more interesting due to the significance? K. Peake 07:20, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Kyle Peake: I would probably consider that acceptable, although I'd warn you that I'm not optimistic about its run on the Main Page. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 22:03, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
