All of the Dead Girls

Created by Carbrera (talk). Self-nominated at 19:36, 9 March 2021 (UTC).


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - I'm confused by ALT0: the article just says that the performance recording was planned to be the music video, not that it was. Additionally, I'm not able to find any music video released for the song online. What happened in the end?
    As for ALT1, the hook says inspired by a lyric penned by American actor Josh Richman but the article and source beats around the bush a bit more: it came from the concept of the lyric “dead girls,” which was informed by ... Josh Richman ... It wasn’t a direct quote, but it was a comment about me. So I think "lyric penned by" Richman is not strictly true.
  • Interesting: No - Pending rewording for factual accuracy, or another hook suggestion.
QPQ: Done.

Overall: [[Music journalism|Music critics]] is an overlink that can be removed. There are two "quotes from nowhere": The addition of keyboards provided "layering [of] majestic swaths of synths" and which Havok repeatedly "begs". I'd like these to be attributed to their source (e.g. "according to X", "X said that") in prose. — Bilorv (talk) 15:51, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Bilorv – thank you for reviewing both of my DYK nominations. I have adjusted the article to your comments accordingly and (hopefully) improved ALT1. Could you let me know what you think now? Thanks again, Carbrera (talk) 15:25, 22 March 2021 (UTC).
ALT1 approved with the new wording. Other comments I made have all been addressed. Thanks! — Bilorv (talk) 04:19, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
