Mood Ring (song)

(

)

... that Britney Spears' song "Mood Ring" was originally written as a collaboration between the singer and The Chainsmokers?

While this the article is new, long enough, is most probably within policy, and a QPQ has been done, it fails criterion #3, "cited hook". The hook is cited to reference #3, which is an Instagram post, which makes it self-published, failing WP:RS. If you can find a reference that satisfies WP:RS about the hook, I can check if the rest of the article is suitable enough. Howard the Duck (talk) 17:30, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Replacing with this icon as the issue here is easily surmountable and the nomination shouldn't be closed just yet. From previous cases, hooks being based on self-published sources have been allowed in limited cases, usually when the information is not controversial and the source is either the subject themselves or otherwise related to a fact given in the subject's article. Of course, a better source would still be needed here as the Instagram post doesn't seem to make the link to The Chainsmokers explicit. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 00:47, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello! Here is a source talking about the hook. Someone replaced it with an Instagram link for some reason while adding some additional information not mentioned in that Billboard article, but I have restored it to how it was before. — Status (talk · contribs) 13:52, 5 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. @Howard the Duck: Please continue the review now. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:51, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

We just need a QPQ right now, and Earwig's Copyvio Detector found a 33% similarity to the Rolling Stone source, but most of it are from quotes from songwriters themselves. Howard the Duck (talk) 13:34, 7 July 2020 (UTC)

@Howard the Duck: Can I supply Template:Did you know nominations/Ba Than (historian) as a QPQ for the nominator? SL93 (talk) 21:40, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes, you can. I believe this now qualifies for DYK. But someone else can overrule me once it goes on queue and spots that the Instagram reference is used at a significant portion of the article. If you can find another reference explaining how DJ Mustard got his hands on this song, please do so. Howard the Duck (talk) 21:50, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
