... that "These Cold Nights" by Oshima Brothers(pictured) has been streamed almost five million times on Spotify? Source: this article says: "The song 'Cadence,' from the new album, has already been streamed more than 330,000 times on Spotify, where the brothers have more than 115,000 monthly followers and one single, 'These Cold Nights' from 2019, that's closing on 5 million streams."
ALT1: ... that the Oshima Brothers(pictured) started singing together in the bathtub? Source: According to this radio broadcast, "We started singing in the bathtub together, and so, when we were three and six" (quote at 3:55).
New enough and long enough. QPQ present. No textual issues; Earwig is catching quotes and article titles. I do think the hook is too promotional (a number of streams) and would like to see Dugan Murphy suggest some better hooks. I'm trying to sort out the status of the image on Commons as it has a partially substed permission template. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:48, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oshima Brothers The image: I just got a notification today from Wikimedia that the photographer has yet to send in the email releasing the copyright, so I understand if that makes it a poor choice for this nomination. How about this one instead? The photographer sent in the email releasing the copyright. Dugan Murphy (talk) 20:43, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Dugan Murphy: Permission did come through for the second added image (Oshima Brothers Marathon Center 2022.jpg instead of Oshima Brothers.jpg) and I have replaced the nomination. I also approve ALT1. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:45, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe I was a little bit too harsh with the advert tag, but I did find some words that were a little POV:
"...by which time they boasted..."
"...their most ambitious tour..."
"...The more domestic brother..."
Also, most of the sources are primary or interviews, but that's hard to avoid with musicians. I'll take a stab at cleaning it up and I'll at least remove the advert tag.
Thanks for the clarification and for your help improving the article! I see what you're saying with those POV examples. I reworded the ones you mentioned but hadn't yet fixed yourself, plus I reworded a few other phrases with POV in mind. Do you still feel the POV tag is necessary? And if so, what other examples do you see? Dugan Murphy (talk) 11:50, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Youtube interview is not from an official account, but there's no copyright issue and it's not used for anything controversial.
File:Oshima Brothers.jpg is tagged on Commons as having insufficient permissions and liable for deletion.
Thank you for bringing this up! I hadn't noticed this tag, so I just contacted the photographer asking her to send a new email releasing the copyright. I didn't realize until just now that her initial email was insufficient. On the assumption that it will take more than a day or two to resolve this issue and have the tag removed, do I need to remove the image for now in order to pass GAN?
