Wigwam in 2018

... that Wigwam (pictured) formed four days before their first concert?

Source: Y Selar, issue 54 (August 2018), page 11 - "Nathon ni ffurfio pedwar diwrnod cyn ein gig cyntaf achos odd angen band arall i chwara' set [...] yng Nghlwb Ifor Bach blwyddyn dwetha." ("We formed four days before our first gig because another band was needed to play a set [...] in Clwb Ifor Bach last year.")

ALT1: ... that Wigwam (pictured) only formed to play a single concert, but have been performing together for seven years? Source: Same source as ALT0 ("last year" in that context is 2017, so it's been seven years) + "Drymiwr Wigwam yn bencampwr dawnsio’r byd" - "I ddechrau, jyst i wneud one-off gig oedd o. [...] Gwnaethon ni benderfynu cario ymlaen, dal ati gydag ymarfer, wedyn gwnaethon ni ddechrau ysgrifennu cerddoriaeth efo’n gilydd. Erbyn hyn, rydym wedi rhyddhau albwm a phedair sengl." ("At the start, it was just to do a one-off gig. [...] We decided to carry on, kept practicing, then we started writing music together. By now, we've released an album and four singles.")

The article was long enough and new enough at the time of the nomination. I did not find any close paraphrasing, and the article is properly sourced. I am assuming good faith for the sources as they are in Welsh, although for DYK purposes the provided translations above should be fine. A QPQ has been done. I'm approving only the original hook as it's shorter, snappier, and probably more intriguing. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 09:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Narutolovehinata5: Thank you for the review! But I'm not sure why you've specifically approved only one hook when there's nothing actually wrong with the other one - surely it's up to the prep builders to choose which hook is more interesting. (I say this because I think ALT1 is a little more interesting personally, and is in a pretty common hook style.) Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 15:30, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

While I thought ALT1 was also a surprising and interesting hook, I thought the fact about them being formed four days before the gig, as opposed to simply being intended to be a one-time thing, was more unusual and eye-catching. In addition, it's also a shorter hook and arguably punchier. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 23:56, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
