5x expanded by Calvin999 (talk). Self-nominated at 20:57, 23 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

  • The article was expanded enough and is long enough with no copyright violations. However, a QPQ is still needed and neither hook is interesting. Many things were delayed because of the pandemic. SL93 (talk) 01:42, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll do a QPQ even though I've reviewed more than I've nominated over 8 years. Just because you don't find it interesting, doesn't mean others won't or that it's not interesting for this topic.  — Calvin999 12:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, that's arguably not interesting as presumably each recording act thinks they've progressed from album to album. For this to work it would need to reflect their going forward too? Blending nostalgia with the future? They referenced that the title has nothing to do with COVID and that it is coincidental, that they are not seeking to profit from relating in a pandemic.  — Calvin999 19:55, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • ALT3:... that the name, sound and concept of the album What the Future Holds by Steps derives purely from the lyrics of the title track?  — Calvin999 20:00, 25 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's nothing interesting to me about the target article, and its delay because of CoVid is just one of many thousands of things which have suffered the same fate. But I find the title ironically amusing (in that it didn't predict its own fate). Bazza (talk) 09:14, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
ALT4 ... that the reveal of the upcoming album What the Future Holds by the band Steps was teased by social media posts showing imagery of a crystal ball? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:49, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speaking as someone who's never heard of the group before (although given I don't live in the UK, I'm not sure of their international popularity), the original COVID hooks mean nothing to me, but I think there's potential in a hook about how the album was revealed. ALT3 has some potential but I don't think album titles and themes being based on title tracks is an uncommon practice in music. If there's no other suitable alternative then ALT3 would be the best option here. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 12:49, 26 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Calvin999: How's the QPQ moving along? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 00:03, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • @Narutolovehinata5: It's a shame The Sun is banned because they did an interview with their Bizarre column with so much info, but can't be used. I need to sit and do a QPQ, it's been a while since I've done one. There is info in the article which is more about the song, so that can't be used and I am saving that stuff for a title track page expansion. I agree that the title of the album is ironic, hence why I wanted to do a Covid related hook as they said last week that it is purely coincidental that they named the album What the Future Holds when we live in such an uncertain time.  — Calvin999 11:30, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
You can always ask at WP:RSN if you can request for an WP:IAR exemption to use The Sun for the article while stating the circumstances. After all, The Sun isn't really banned, it's deprecated (meaning its use is heavily discouraged, but may still be used in limited circumstances).

@Narutolovehinata5: I think I will, because it was a direct interview, it was all quoted. Shame to not be able to use a whole interview with so much info because of what it was printed in.  — Calvin999 19:27, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Put it in External links. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:10, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I would say: promotional at best, ginned-up rubbish at worst. The Sun was deprecated as a source by a broad general RFC because it literally can't be trusted. If there is literally no other source for a claim than The Sun, then it shouldn't be in Wikipedia - and absolutely not on the front page of Wikipedia. Decorative usage doesn't really override that - David Gerard (talk)
I've gone ahead and left a message at WP:RSN. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 09:14, 30 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
